A (potential) nightlife casualty to report. Circulating in groups on WeChat and on everyone's events promotions therein for the last week, late-night, vinyl-appreciating club URVC ("U R Vinyl Crazy") is closing up for good on May 31. From one of the resident DJs: "After many ups and downs over the years, I must announce that URVC will be CLOSING FOR GOOD on May 31st.
Though it'll be gone, I'm sure a lot of you have made enough memories there to last a lifetime." Saturday's party -- May 27 -- features Beijing's DJ Pei is billed as "Maybe the last night at... [URVC]." We contacted the club last week and they said they were still in rental contact negotiations with the landlord, and it wasn't looking promising. We contacted them today and haven't heard back, but we've also learned that the staff is being transferred over to the management's other club, Reel to Reel. So... Friday, Saturday, Sunday night... might be a good time to enjoy URVC this weekend. They're also giving away a free URVC shirt with every drink purchased. [Update]: We've heard back from Bossman Dave K: "Yeah... I think we'll go on in another way maybe... I'll let you know soon." There you have it, y'all.
