a visit from Singapore

yesterday we had a very pleasant visit from some representatives of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) here in PLATOON.
it has been very nice exchanging views with them about the development of the creative industries in Singapore.

Swee Kuan from EDB, seemed very enthusiastic about future collaborations with PLATOON and we are looking forward to lend our KNOW-HOW as a contribution for creating a buzz of creativity in Singapore.

thanks guys, it has been a pleasure meeting you.... hopefully next time we´ll meet in Singapore!

Gene Serene @ Donnerstags-Bar

socks and shoes on feet, the air smells different – and Gene Serene’s electro punk will smash the place before the night’s closed in - hibernating and migrating.

not only the last Donnerstags-Bar before a cold and dirty winter – we all welcome Tom after almost 8 months pushing Kunsthalle in Seoul.

so, let’s drink the bar dry – rock the block – and party for the last time till the resurrection of underground drinking culture at Donnerstags-Bar next spring! check out our selected hot shots on flickr.

doors open at 9 pm till the last drop is gone!
