All (hip) hopped up: Drug raid at Coco Banana last night
UPDATE: Turns out danwei was all over this story an hour ago like a bunch of university students on the last hash brownie. “[Man Wenjun] was arrested for drug use during a raid on Coco Banana, a nightclub located outside the west gate of the Workers’ Stadium. … According to an eyewitness, the police raided the nightclub yesterday morning around two o’clock. About ten people were taken away, the 40-year-old Man among them. Police confirmed Man’s arrest to the newspaper.” danwei states that the nightclub “has been ordered to suspend operation.”

According to sina.com, singer and songwriter Man Wenjun was among those arrested during a police raid at Coco Banana on Workers Stadium West last night. Apparently, he tested positive for drugs after taking a urine test. I will update this post shortly because, frankly, I stink at translation.
But three things come to mind:
- I think it unwise for anyone to be taking risks ahead of a certain upcoming twentieth anniversary.
- If the police are looking for drugs, they landed just west of some real good action.
- And the question of the moment: whether, as DJ Chunky asks, the club was playing hip hop with techno or techno with hip hop when the police arrived, cuz it affects the mood of the raid, know what i’m sayin’? (Thanks to The Chunk for the link).

Good thing I stayed away from bars and clubs with drugs. Sure wouldn’t want to get mixed up with those groups and wind up in a Chinese prison.
