The 2011 AKIC Award Ceremony is the hottest ticket of the year for Wuxi China Expats

Five Hundred thousand temporary seats have been added to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of Gambay's Pub in the 1912 Bar District of Wuxi, China for the AKIC blog 2011 Award Ceremony which will be held on Friday evening, December 30.

Fred Minkleman, co-owner of Gambay's, said demand for tickets was incredible, and that many of those who couldn't acquire tickets were threatening suicide.  Said Minkleman: "We had no choice but to raise the top on the DC Pavilion 888 meters and add half a million seats!"

Speculation on who will be named AKIC Wuxi Expat of the Year has been intense and many a Wuxi Expat wants to be in the DC Pavilion of Gambay's when the announcement is made.
