这座城市中的一切美好都在飞速流逝，瞬息万变是北京最有魅力的特质之一。于无形中也迫使你用心珍惜周遭点点滴滴，因为眨眼间你原本熟悉的东西或许就会不复存在。人们远渡重洋来做外语老师，一两年后就会离开。你最爱的餐厅悄无声息地不再营业，你常带朋友去坐坐的那家小酒吧一转眼就已拆毁不见。Everything beautiful in this city is fleeting. Transience is one of the most wonderful things about Beijing, forcing you to really appreciate what you have in front of you because it could be gone at any moment. People fly in to teach English, only to be gone a year or two later. Your favourite restaurant closes with little fanfare, that speakeasy you always took people out to when they were in town gets bricked up. 在身处北京的日子里，从2015年的美好时光到现在，我们见证了Temple、DDC旧址、Cellar Door和El
Nido旧址相继关闭，甚至还有容纳了Tiki Bar和Knight
& Merchants的那条街的突然拆迁。后者是一个中意蒸汽朋克的酒吧老板经营的《权力的游戏》风格的蜜酒馆，他会让顾客穿上击剑装备，在胡同外击剑。In our time here, since the halcyon days of 2015 till now, we’ve witnessed the closure of Temple, the old DDC, Cellar Door and El Nido’s former location, even the sudden demolition of the strip that housed the Tiki Bar as well as Knight & Merchants, a Game of Thrones style mead-hall run by a steampunk-clad bar owner who would let his patrons don fencing gear and fight with swords in the hutong outside.当我们见证了这些钟爱场所的消逝，那个吸引我们的北京印象缓缓坍塌了。我们觉得或许应该在这座城里开辟一块自己的小天地，包容不同个性的人们和文化，浸润在各式各样的音乐和艺术形式里，为独立文化增添一份生机。秉持着这样的观念，小块儿应运而生（但我们始终未能成功再现那种醉酒舞剑的情形！）。As we witnessed the closure of these spaces, the old Beijing we loved slowly disappearing around us, we decided it was time to carve out a little space of our own in the city, to preserve a venue for independent culture, diverse people and points of view, a place for music of all types, art of all kinds. It was with this ethos in mind that nugget was born. (We never quite managed to resurrect the drunken sword fighting however!)(2020夏天开业前装修期间的小块儿!)

在过去的三年中，小块儿蜗居在胡同里，有很多收获，而现在似乎应该为这华美乐章画上休止符了。一路走来，很多瞬间让人感到无比漫长。我们目睹了社会生活的很多变化，不是所有事情的发展走向都会符合我们的期待，所以，不论从个人还是厂牌角度，都是时候大步向前迈向新的旅程了。We’ve spent three years nestled in the hutongs that gave us so much, and now it seems our time is finally coming to an end. Over these three years, that have so often felt like a decade, we witnessed many changes taking place in our society, not all of them to our liking, and it’s time for both the business and ourselves personally to move on. 在北京运营一处文化空间并非易事。你需要应对来自邻居的噪音投诉，热衷于证明存在感的城管耀武扬威之举，还有捉摸不透的边界线关于诸事是否可行的划定。有这样一些时刻，或有意或无意，小块儿也曾踏过了这些界限。It’s not easy running a cultural space in Beijing. You have to deal with noise complaints from the neighbours, overzealous chengguan looking to eke out some small semblance of power in their lives, all while trying to constantly stay abreast of an ever shifting line of what’s permissible and what isn’t. There have been times when nugget has crossed this line, both unwittingly and with purpose.(Betty D bringing out the big guns at one of our Gender Bender Balls)小块儿偶尔对敏感边界的跨越给我们自己惹来一些麻烦，但我们仍为所有努力和获得的成就感到无尽喜悦和无比骄傲。自小块儿诞生之日起，我们抱着开放包容的心态拥抱大家，不曾将任何人拒之门外。今晚是强劲的噪音现场，明日是奇妙的变装演出，后天夜间你将看到屋子里聚集一群醉醺醺的朋友力争马里奥赛车游戏之王的称号。在一个日渐分裂隔绝的世界里，存在这样一个让大家求同存异融为一体的地方显得格外珍贵。Pushing the envelope, as nugget has done, has brought us occasional 麻烦, but also so much joy and pride for what we’ve been able to accomplish here in Beijing. Since our opening, we’ve been a space for all, never turning anyone away from our doorstep. Drag shows have taken place a day after a harsh noise gig, and followed just the next evening by a room full of drunken revelry as 20 people compete for the title of Mario Kart champion. In a world that’s growing ever further apart, it’s so important for us to retain spaces that bring us all together.北京小块儿的故事将于八月底告一段落。但我们才不会灰溜溜落下帷幕，注定要来一场震撼惊艳的告别！小块儿将举办为时一周的小块儿音乐节，从8.23（周三）持续至8.27（周日）。一些曾在小块儿留下美好回忆的我们最爱的乐队们将奉上精彩的演出。看看下面的海报详情，扫码预约一席观演之地吧。感谢所有乐队愿意无偿为我们编织这场视听盛宴。nugget will be closing at the end of August, but we’re going out not with a whimper, but rather with a bang! We’re having a week long music festival, NUGCHELLA, from Wednesday 23rd - Sunday 27th of August. It features some of our favourite bands that have played in our tiny venue over the last few years. Check out the poster above and scan the code to reserve your place. All shows are free and we thank the bands taking part for being so generous with their time.
届时还有特价饮品！我们的特色鸡尾酒例如“酸塔”、“草莓爸爸”等曾连续两年为我们赢得“北京年度最佳鸡尾酒吧奖”，再不尝尝就没机会喝到咯！There’ll be drink deals over the week, with it being your last chance to get your hands on a Sourtower, Strawberry Papa or some of our other signature cocktails that have won us Beijing Cocktail Bar of the Year twice in a row!(Strawberry Papa, a strawberry milkshake with more than a touch of Buckfast)
放眼未来，虽然小块儿不再落脚于北锣鼓巷，但原址还会继续开放营业。我们找到了伙伴接手酒吧，尽管名称和风格会发生改变，但热情友好包容的宗旨永存，这里仍是你歇脚的温馨港湾。白天照旧是静默咖啡，而我们厨房的最新成员 FOODLE 将会很快为大家带来一些美味小食！至于小块儿自己，我们会继续作为唱片厂牌，回到最初的美好~各自居家工作来发行磁带并制作城市里最棒的独立音乐。Going forward, although nugget is leaving our Beiluoguxiang digs, the space will continue on. We have found someone to take over the bar, with a new name and vibe but still above all a warm and welcoming space for all those looking for a community in Beijing to call their own. Silence Coffee will still be there in the daytime and our newest addition in the kitchen, FOODLE, will be introducing some yummy treats for everyone soon! We ourselves will continue as a record label, releasing tapes from our homes as we began doing all those years ago, championing the best indie music in the city.
