Daniele Kaehr's (dkaehr) creative contribution: to take the pictures of our BTJ T-shirts.

He told the models to play with some paper planes during the shoot. Like that they came across naturally.

Have a look at the T-shirt's production, too.
Have a look at our brandnew shop, too.

The Captain was attending a speech of Daniel Freitag. He talked about his "Geschäft" (not quite the same as business!), which is the company FREITAG. 

This event was presented by CreativeMornings and hosted by Tina Roth Eisenberg, better known as swissmiss.

Unconsciously, Daniel said something about BTJ's sustainability while explaining the expression cradle to cradle.
entrümpelung, räumung.

The Captain is invited to a game of polo in Warsaw, Poland.

The organiser (Magdalene) is a friend of BTJ (and of the Captain). She offers him a VIP-ticket to join this event and to make some well-moneyed friends over there.

For our Funeral March we have to build up the tail fin on a car. Therefor we need space and asked the City of Zurich for permission to do it in the casern of Zurich. As a matter of fact, we got it!

The city council of zurich created a piece of art by entitelling this permission: "Bewilligung für das Montieren einer Jumboheckflosse auf ein Rossgespann zu Ausstellungszwecken" (engl: permission to assemble of a Jumbos' tail fin on a harnessed team for exhibition purpose).
