Hello friends! It's again time for many of us to visit the CCC and a very special bear living there. I wish we could all be there but maybe one day this dream will come true. I'm sure there will be several reports so even the left behinders can feel the wonderful atmosphere there always is when the Wild Herd meets.
This week's story comes from Sarah & the Chelsea Gang. It's a real thriller so make sure you won't be alone when you read it!
The Wild West Heroes and Villains
As you can see not only the food is quality controlled by our bear army!
The Knuipe Cinema's first film in this thread is posted by Luisa.
It wasn't me - the perfect crime

Hello friends! The theme of this thread is our big bear family. I can't offer you a new story but I've made a potpurri of some old collages in KWM which hopefully reminds you of the old days but also of the recent days. Bear hugs to you all from Mervi
We are family - We never walk alone!
Today is the grand opening of Knuipe's cinema! These two lovely bears have already undergone a casting for their first cinema film which they proudly present in KNUIPE and KWM. Yoghi & Giovana are playing their own roles without manuscript. Please switch on your loudspeakers!
Bernd, thank you so much for making our cinema possible!

Dear friends! It's time for me to lean back in my sand throne and remember the months I spent together with Giovanna. Oh boy, I have so many memories..... some of them sweet, some of them, hmmm.... not so sweet. Of course, there are no hard feelings between us even though it's not so easy to forget that she ate my birthday cake. Well, I'm having birthday again and hopefully I can have the cake for myself. Teddybärenmutti helped me to write down some memories because those stupid keyboards are not designed for decent bear paws! Greetings from your pal Knuti - PS. Have you noticed my impressive beard?

Dear Friends! Liebe Freunde/Freundinnen! Jippii! It's August again and we can have a BIG crayfish party - already a tradition in our Knuipe. Oh boy, it means lots of QC for me! Talking about parties made me think of food and it's my great pleasure to inform you that my cook book (Part 1) is now published in KWM! I'm waiting for more contributions for Part 2 so don't hesitate to send me your best recipees. My pal Raspi and Uncle Sergej would also appreciate recipees for delicous drinks!
Your humble servant, Herr Ober
Bon Knuppetit! - Knuti's cook book
She's leaving soon....

Dear friends! Although I know my dear friend Giovanna will be leaving me soon I've decided to be a brave boy. We are very good friends but I have understood La Donna needs something more than just friendship. I can't imagine what she wants. We have food, good spots for Nickerchens, water to swim in.....well, maybe that Yoghi guy knows what she wants. I hope they will be very happy together in their new enclosure. Maybe I will feel a bit lonely to begin with but I'm sure there's a beautiful bear girl just waiting for me. Let's not be sad but wish Giovanna best of luck in Hellabrunn.
Your pal Knuti
The story of this thread is Teddybärenmutti's report from Bärlin:

Oh my, what a hot summer we have this year. Instead of working we should be swimming with Knuti and his friends. Luckily we have always ice cold Knutsteiners waiting for us in our Knuipe.
I guess we are all very excited to see how Giovanna and Yoghi will get along in their new home. Herr Knut has already started to make plans for his future without Giovanna. You can read about it here:

Hello friends! Due to all kinds of problems with servers and upgradings there has been no time for writing a new story. Hopefully the problems will soon be over and I can feel inspired to write again. Meanwhile Herr Knuti has been very innovative and creative - just take a look at that earring! Cartiers and Tiffany's can close their doors permanently - the modern knewerly is designed by Knuti!
Welcome the lazy, hazy days of summer

Dear friends! The summer seems to have come to the countries where it's supposed to be summer. I'm enjoying the sunny weather with Giovanna and all the visitors. Once again I want to thank you for coming to Bärlin to meet your humble servant!
Auntie Mervi had arranged a great Midsummer party for us and what a party it was. Hihihii, maybe not for Mervi because she had to clean up the mess... but she sure looked happy to have me and my pals around. You can read all about it here:
It's soccer time, folks!

Collage my Mervi, Original Knut by Monika
Dear friends! It's a happy hours - or rather happy hours - for all the football lovers. Today is the kick-off for the World Championship in South Africa. As you see Knuti is ready and fit for fight!
Now I wish all the teams best of luck but of course, most luck for the Knuti's team. There's a little story about Knuti's preparations:
We are all the winners!

Dear Knuipians! The theme of this thread is talented bears. We all know by now how multitalented our fluffy friends are but just to remind you of their musical skils there's a little story about a song contest. No, not the European one but a very special contest in CCC:
Great expectations

Dear friends! Liebe Freunde! Cher amis! Cari amici! Kära vänner! Rakkaat ystävät!
The ice hockey tournament goes on and so far Knuti is very pleased with his team. Flocke and Raspi are making a home in Antibes and even if everything isn't ready yet they look happy and confident. I think we all feel very relieved after seeing all the lovely photos and videos from Marineland.
This time we have two new episodes of Russian Hearts and Boomsies:

Dear friends! We are living exciting times again! Flocke and Raspi have been introduced to their French fans and I'm sure they charmed everybody. Here are two links to photos from Antibes (thank you Ludmila and Dumba!):
123 first photos of FLOCKE and RASPI in Marineland/ANTIBES May 6th, 2010
38 photos of constructions at bears enclosure in Marineland/ANTIBES from May 2nd, 2010
Teddybärenmutti was allowed to follow Flocke's and Raspi's preparations for the grand opening of the Marineland - as a secretary so she wrote a little story about it:
There's also another big event going on - The Icehockey World Championship 2010. I know there are many sportoholics among the visitors in the Knuipe so I wish every team best of luck! May the best team win - even though I wouldn't mind if the winning team came from Finland......OK, Knuti, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Germany as well.
Hopes and Wishes

Dear friends! Again we're having some exciting days waiting for the first photos of Flocke and Raspi. The inauguration of the Marineland is THE event of this Spring! We wish our friends best of luck in their new home. .... and Marineland, we're keeping an eye on you!
The 1st of May has traditionally been the day when workers all over the world go protest marching. Our hardworking bears decided to make their own action expressing some hopes and wishes for the future. Of course, Uncle Sergej supervised the action. You can read all about it here:
Thank you for visiting me!

Dear friends! What a wonderful time we had in Bärlin! Now we're counting days to next visit....
Since the visitors have published their reports in KWM it's only fair that also Knuti publishes his own very special report. Teddybärenmutti has been his secretary as usual. You'll find the report here:
Berliner Luft tut gut!

Dear friends, the air is filled with excitement. Soon we'll be meeting in Bärlin and having the time of our lives! The Waiter has made his staff work very hard to make his enclosure presentable for reception of his guest. He has also spent a lot of time in front of a mirror to train different poses for all the knutographers. Ain't that a thoughtful guy! I wish you all a Happy Easter in Berlin and where ever you are!
This week's story is the lead in KWM and you'll find it here:
Welcome Spring!

Dear Friends! The Winter is almost gone and we are all looking forward to a wonderful Spring. La Donna and I've been very busy making our enclosure presentable since we know there are a lot of visitors coming in April! Well, we have our people to do things for us but of course, we have to supervise everything.
Teddybärenmutti was allowed to take notes when she followed our cleaning activities:

Hello friends! It's March but I guess we are all feeling like April fools thinking about Easter in the CCC (Capital City of Cuties). Now it's only four weeks to go before we're going have the time of our lives AGAIN!!
While we are waiting a lot of things are happening - among others a big skiing event in Sweden very near Orsa. Of course, our friends Wilbär and Ewa wanted to be a part the happening. You can read more about it in Knuti's Weekly:

Dear friends! Even though the winter's still got a hold on us the spring is coming! Many of us are planning a trip to Bärlin and of course, we want to look our best when we visit the Capital City of Cute Bears. Our business minded ladies - Flocke and Gianna - are willing to help us with the spring makeover and welcome us all to the FloGia Bearty Parlour.
Teddybärenmutti has already visited the establishment and she's very satisfied with the result. You can read more about it here:

Dear friends! 'We are in the middle of the carneval season and everybody's busy cutting ties or planning what costume to wear. Another big event is about to take place in Vancouver - the Olympic Winter Games 2010. Knutitours and Knuti's Weekly will of course, provide you with full coverage of the games starting with Knuti's lead article in KWM.
Let the games begin! I wish you all exciting moments in front of the TV!
Naps in White Satin

Since I was born in the good old stone age I remember a song called 'Nights in White Satin' by Moody Blues and I thought a little traversion would make a nice headline for this thread. Do you remember that song, too? Anyway, this week's theme is snow because we're having a very white winter almost everywhere. The winners are our dear white, fluffy friends who have been able to enjoy their original element for weeks now.
The four-leaf-glover have, of course, been very creative and innovative as always. Teddybärenmutti has been their secretary again and the co-operation resulted in a new story:
