Tonight: Twitter launch party at Sampan

Sampan (124 S 13th St.) is now on Twitter (@SampanPhilly), and to ring in hashtag season, the Michael Schulson and his crew are throwing a Twitter Launch Party tonight at the Graffiti Bar. From 7 to 10, enjoy $2 PBR, $4 vodka specials, free satay from the grill, special raffles and music from DJ KGURU. Sampan has also upped its happy-hour game (check out our summer Happy Hour Hopper on the Graffiti Bar). Now on the menu is a HH-size version of Schulson's signature edamame dumplings for $4, a $2 shrimp satay and a $4 daily featured cocktail. If you make it to the party tonight and run into Schulson (yes, he has Twitter too), shake his hand. He was recently named one of four "Chefs to Watch" in the November "Best New Restaurants" issue of Esquire. Other honorees included Joshua Hopkins (Abbatoire, Atlanta), Alon Shaya (Domenina, New Orleans) and Nick Balla (Nombe, San Francisco).

Any alternate plans if (and when) it rains?
