Shanghai Weeps: Bonbon Closes
by Morgan Short
in Nightlife
Perhaps you noticed over the long weekend: Bonbon, one of Shanghai's biggest big-time clubs, has closed its doors for good.
Although club management has yet to release a formal statement regarding the closure, SmSh has an undercover mole deep within the organization (read: some dude told us in bar), who elucidates that the club has closed to sort out some internal restructuring at the ownership level, and will be moving locations.
It's been a long and storied three years for Bonbon on Huahai Lu, and as one of the top talent bookers in the city (they've got A-Track coming in May, for God's sake), SmSh wishes them a speedy relocation.
Seriously. We love you Bonbon. Come back. All is forgiven. Bring Coolio again! Or Ma$e!
Someone bring Ma$e. I bet he's dirt cheap.

I haven't been this upset since E.R finished.
Have tried to give it a good send off, typing through the tears
