NIGHT FLEA MARKET VOL.1 @ PLATOON KUNSTHALLE

on saturday the first night flea market presented by bling magazine and PLATOON KUNSTHALLE took place.
45 non-commercial sellers brought all kinds of stuff like hand made accessories, old school cameras and glamourous disco outfits to make our shoppers' hearts beat faster.
the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.
everytime i bought something, i got smiling faces and applause from the sellers, even for a 1000 won shirt – that's consumption i really like!
while shopping was going on we were entertained by musicians and the hilarious mc phryme, who led the auction. afterwards djs turned the flea market into a party.
amongst fashion victims and fresh hot dogs we had a pleasant night.

kickstart

money, but no good ideas. good ideas, but no money. both constellations are kind of a waste of resources. so when i found kickstarter today (it's not new, only new to me), i immediately thought it is a good idea. people with ideas (and no money) present their project and raise money through the website. it's not a pure donation system though, those who back up a project get something out of it. what good it can do depends on the project. sometimes it helps financing projects like the production of an album (like 'kind of bloop'), sometimes it helps to avoid wasting good things.

ver.di mindestlohn spot

last weekend PLATOON in collaboration with Mutter & Vater Filmproduktion and Christian Schwochow shot a viral ad spot for the ver.di mindestlohn campaign. with the help of 100 extras we filmed some spectacular mass scenes at several spots in berlin. thanks to all of you members of the PLATOON network for supporting this noble cause!

stay tuned for the next flashmob.

I survived

The mission was to fly to Seoul and celebrate Christoph's B-day in the biggest party a human can resist. In the end a platoon of 6 members flew to PLATOON.seoul to have a hard time...

This is the beginning of the night...

It really was a great time between good friends and nice people, I am thankful that I manage to see the sun again... A lot of the pictures are classified "eyes only" but have fun with this video, and see you around...


P.S. Thank you Soul for the great time!!!

GRAFFITI IS NOT A CRIME!

this is ridicoulous!!!
a 19 year old kid got sentenced to 8 years in prison for tagging some walls in his city, thats one of the harshest and longest sentences for graffiti related vandalism to date. prosecutors said these are the consequences for the choices he made.
well now he is going to go to jail with murderers, robbers, and real gangsters... in the words of one of the speakers : „for this kindergarten crime he´s going to learn how to be a man!“. well done! thats the best way to breed criminals! I´ve never heard such a narrow minded statement. people in texas should uphold the values of democracy and freedom that their country tries to spread around the world...
i would have expected to hear such a story from some country ruled by a dictatorial regime, not from the country that claims to protect freedom of expression and constantly wants to be an example for the rest of the world.
to jail a kid for 8 years for writing upon walls is a crime!
wake up people!
