Somehow missed this thread until now.....anyways, I'm in.

Attendance: Definite barring an act of God
# of attendees: me and the missus
Hotel Preference: SPG or IC - I think The Royal Meridien in particular would be a good choice just for the location. Quick access to nearly everything of interest.
Other Suggested activities: We're actually no longer in Shanghai itself but still nearby. We'd be more than happy to just act as the quasi-hosts along with our Flyerteas 朋友们。
