I’m stationed in the Highsnobiety Berlin office for a few weeks. Since moving the operation full time to Berlin, a great deal of things have changed for the team as well as our business. David has up and moved from Geneva for the opportunity to connect with some of the best creative minds Europe has to offer. I am pumped to be here for a few weeks with him.

The main reason for coming to Berlin outside of the local office was Bread & Butter Berlin. The show returned to it’s Berlin roots by taking over the Tempelhof Airpot location in west Berlin. The airpot layout was so expansive that one could walk miles back and forth from one end to the other. To help ease this pain, the show outfitted buses, private golf carts, and free bikes which you could pick up and run with. Well done.

Some of my favorite views below…

Goodbye BBB. See you in January.

Sidenote: Henrik lives and rides here. He told me he’d help me find a bike after Barcelona next week. I’m holding him to it!

This is what I call service. During our Bread & Butter retreat last week in Barcelona, Spain, we ran into some difficulty with the Wifi connection that feeds the Sport and Street Hall that we were calling homebase. Not having Wifi or any internet connection really makes our lives difficult, and in regards, brings our work to a halt.

So we called our Bread & Butter host Philip over to see if he could help the HighSnobiety/Selectism bloggers with this dilemma. Phillipe was unsure but promised he would look into it.

About fifteen minutes later, this three man crew arrived from the facilities team and began to quickly make phone calls. Who they were calling was unclear but within moments, the gentleman on the left, Thomas (a German with an honest to god Texan accent), asked me the most magical question I have ever been asked by a tradeshow handyman.

“How much bandwidth do you need.”

How much bandwidth do I need? That question is equivalent to a police force asking if they can clear a highway so that my team and I could race it rally style. Unbelievable.

So I asked for a meager half meg - enough to upload some photos and video. In moments, these three guys had a hardline and 5 port switch in place, dedicated to HighSnobiety bloggers.

Now that’s what I call fucking service. Bread & Butter and their massive support team (including Philip)  kept our work running smoothly and for that, we cannot thank them enough.

Highsnobiety will be live at the Bread and Butter Barcelona Show next week. Stop by if you’re in town.
