再见灯笼｜Goodbye Lantern

再见灯笼

虽然工体改建的大方向已经知道，可内心一直心存幻想，觉得离开还有一段时间。但停业的消息来的太突然了，只给了3天时间。2020年8月1日，就这样匆匆忙忙的和工体灯笼告别了。

往事历历在目。2010年，灯笼已经经历了一次告别，那时的灯笼不到一岁。搬到工体近十年，灯笼俱乐部经受住了各种考验，逐渐成为techno文化在中国一个重要标志。

疫情来临，灯笼暂时关闭，配合防疫。当北京疫情被控制住后，我们积极筹备，对灯笼进行了整修，希望在疫情后给大家带来更好的体验。然而2020注定要给我们带来“惊喜”。

伤感的话不多说了，感谢大家这些年对灯笼俱乐部的厚爱和支持！感谢此时此刻为灯笼流泪为灯笼祝福的亲朋好友！

我们一定会再见。

Goodbye Lantern

It was an open secret that renovations of the Workers’ Stadium and surrounding areas were looming, but we had no idea things would unravel so quickly.

The official notice came as a complete surprise, only giving us three days’ time to cease all business operations.

History sure seems to be repeating itself. Back in 2010, the club was forced to part with its first venue after only one year of operation. During the following ten years at the current venue, Lantern had to go through all sorts of trials and tribulations time and time again, but slowly became a mainstay of Techno culture in China.

When the epidemic hit, we ceased all operations to help fight the virus in the city. During this downtime, we began renovating and started making preparations for reopening with an improved venue to provide a better experience for everyone, but 2020 unfortunately had another unpleasant surprise in store for us …

Enough talk of hardships and losses! We sincerely thank everyone for their love and support all these years and all the tears shed and well wishes given during the last few days.

We’ll definitely be seeing each other again!
