Accompanied by this picture:
But apparently yes! They let them in! And here is part of the welcoming committee assembled to greet them:
LOVE that they are waiting for him
in front of Starbucks! And love this banner!

Six hours ago from when I wrote this which was like Thursday at 3:15 am CDT so subtract 6 hours = 9:15 pm Wednesday here +13 hours = 10:15 am-ish Thursday there in Beijing FFS I am never going to survive two weeks of this kind of math
Eric posted this picture on his new
Eric Alt Salon Facebook fan page with his first China blog entry:
"China day 1: Hundreds of fans showed up
to welcome us... it is surreal somehow I left New York
on Tuesday and landed in Beijing on Thursday.
Where did Wednesday go????"
on Tuesday and landed in Beijing on Thursday.

OK, I love the "hundreds of fans" part SO MUCH!
And that the lovely fan in the middle of the photo
is clutching a copy of Welcome to My World.

But IDK where Wednesday went.
I think it's sobbing in the corner trying to understand
how to play "Let's Do the Time Warp! China Edition"
and stuffing itself full of pretzels.
Thursday 1:30 pm-ish in Beijing hey he's tweeting so I guess neither Facebook nor Twitter are blocked after all so that's awesome la la la la la--
O.O

oh no! not pretzels again! um, think i might need some, too. the time difference is all WTF?!
oh! but if they're that far ahead of us, then 2 weeks isn't really 2 weeks, right? or is it? won't it be a little shorter? eeks! where are those pretzels?
and hee hee! loving today's title, Miss Binks!
please thank David for the lovely pic. the pretty is very pretty!
and please oh please, dear Beauty Bear, send us some lovely man-whore makeup pics. we NEED them! seriously.
Following your math attempts, I´m slowly becoming a pretzel myself. Imagine my eyes crossed like that.
Thank God, there are Johnny fans all over the world, even in China. Some day, Johnny will take over the world. I´ll be waiting in my corner of this world...happily passing the time revelling in photos and pics and happy fan accounts and so on and so on.
Last but not least. Ah...that pic. The last one...courtesy of your son. I´m blown away. But that´s nothing new when it comes to Johnny. Thanks to your son again and again for having such a good eye and capturing one moment in time.
OMG! I am SO in love with Johnny fans all over the world; fans who monitor schedules; track flights; twitter-squee air coordinates like international glittair traffic controllers; and travel to & stand at arrival gates (not an easy task in this high security day & age)with epic handcrafted banners that document eight years of a competitive figure skating career in spot-on sartorial detail! A veritable Johnny Weir-Bayeux Tapestry!
...Oh, and strategically unfurl the love in front of Starbucks, no less...
Bravo, Chinese Angels! Bravo Japanese Angels! Bravo Johnny fans everywhere...I love that he is loved...all over the world.
Like drops of minty water in a media desert, your blog, Binky.
this sounds like it may be on an episode of Be Good Johnny Weir 2...hope so cause it sounds like a fun makeup session!
and I can not explain how much I enjoy Johnny's tweets. They make me laugh no matter how bad a day I am having! =)
thanks for the pics!
Beth
They had to have planned to be in front of Starbucks, lol!
Unfortunately I'm fresh of pretzels... Maybe I should get some when go to the store tomorrow, or is it later today... Or, something..
At least we have some photos, and I'm sure there will be more! Great job MM!
