Make a new O Tannenbaum soundproof!

<p> As you all know neighbors are the No 1 threat to happiness in bars. Bars are the No 1 threat to happiness of households located close to bars, so it seems.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>O Tannenbaum closed it's doors on June 12 th 2015 on the Sonnenallee 27. The search for a new place took a bit more than half a year, but now we're very happy to announce we're going to open a new OTB this summer on The Karl Marx Strasse 28. </em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>That is basically just around the corner of the old one. </em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em><strong>The most important part of getting the new Baum ready is making it soundproof. Because we do like a bit of sound! </strong></em></p> <p>  </p> <p> There is a way of tackling the main problem, noise, and it's easy, but it's quite expensive!</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="946623_10151750980934491_939667722_n-1460990982" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/305753/946623_10151750980934491_939667722_n-1460990982.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="406515_10150681520266155_1573436220_n-1460990719" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/305747/406515_10150681520266155_1573436220_n-1460990719.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><em>Most of you already know kinda what we did the last 8/9 years, but for those who don't:</em></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>O Tannenbaum started 8,5 years ago in the Pfügerstrasse 79 <em>(OTB#1) </em>as a small project space that was open twice a week for mainly concerts, but as well film nights, performances, readings and a lot of weird stuff that doesn't have a name. We had Heatsick, Asmus Tietchens, Harry Merry and many many more playing there.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>Afterwards we had no Space, but continued to organize events on location with for example (our personal highlight): 'Night of the Clowns' in cooperation with Ada van Hoorebeke.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Clownsdansen-1460988324" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/305723/clownsdansen-1460988324.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> We worked some years with CTM where we among other things organized a night at the Maria with Princess Dragonmon, Blectum from Blechdom, Kornreiniger and more, and in Holland, for example a night at the Two Days Art festival in The Hague.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Ctm_markb01-1460990785" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/305749/ctm_markb01-1460990785.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> The Second Tannenbaum on the Sonnenallee 27 <em>(OTB #2) </em>was a pretty amazing experience with loads of amazing artists (Justin Yeldham, Felix Kubin, Dolphins into the Future, Container, Dracula Lewis, Harmony Molina to name a few) and visitors of whom many became friends, we had dance nights, films, concerts, karaoke, special food nights, a superdelux bartender team (!!), and god knows what else.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Oh, actually, Belgian beer.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Fb_46-1460990866" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/305750/FB_46-1460990866.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> You know we like to play music in our bar, sometimes on a decent level to provoke movement, and we like to have live music on stage.  Also films and crowds of people could create quite a level of noise that is annoying for the neighbors above.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We would like to avoid that with insulating the ceiling, like in the old OTB, but better, and this time also some of the walls, because they carry a lot of the noise upwards too.</p> <p>  </p> <p> There is a basement in the new O Tannenbaum as well, and need to insulate that too to make it a place for little dance parties and events OTB style.</p> <p>  </p> <p> This will all be possible with your support!</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="6781734187_4d4fa50c25-1461769363" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/309258/6781734187_4d4fa50c25-1461769363.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="12002843_10204630065172725_7394069104374246343_n-1461769245" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/309257/12002843_10204630065172725_7394069104374246343_n-1461769245.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="336974_516434969414_1401114084_o-1460990917" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/305752/336974_516434969414_1401114084_o-1460990917.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> *all rewards beyond €10 include basic package.
