Wave Gotik Treffen Leipzig, 2007.05.25-28

[Dreamdancer]

All Hail fellow Entropians!

I am actively participating in this forum for a few weeks now, and from what I have read (especially in the "What floats your musical boat" thread), I am rather sure that I am not the only one here being attracted by the darker aspects of human nature.

What I mean is, I am a goth. Even growing up couldn't stop me from being one.

For people like me, there is the pentecostal Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig every year.

I firmly believe that I won't be the only one on this forum attending. So I wanted to stage a little "EU WGT Meetup" in Leipzig this year. I won't be able to play EU for a full 5 days, so it would be great to meet some people with the same kind of withdrawal syndromes. What do you think?

I will try and get this organized. If you will be there too, and are interested in meeting, you can PM me and you'll recieve updates on where and when we could meet.

I am german, and if theres people here who will attend but have language problems, I'll be happy to help them out.

I really hope that this is a good idea and that we will be having a great meeting of Goth Gamerz next weekend in Leipzig.

Regards,
DD

One of the weirdest festivals I even been to (went there in 2000)
30000 people and not masses being drunk, seeing drunk people there is rare.
After the last concert you hear people go very silent to their tents and 15 minutes later its completely silent.
Best thing I saw there that year was Nightwish
For everyone that wants to have a complete different festival than the most I can recommend it.

Your tent must have been around the wrong people

But you are right, in a way. The event locations are all over the place, kind of integrated into the normal city life, and I guess people behave, because they are not on a secluded "festival ground". The people living in Leipzig are always very nice to the strangely-make-upped, black-dressed crowd. Not the kind of people whose doorstep you would puke on.

But there's party all night, definitely:

You remember the drunk-as-hell guy with the horrible sunburn in the cow-fur shorts jumping around Völkerschlachtdenkmal and singing louder than Wolfsheim from 2000? That was me.
