DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (10/60) – Mephisto? Donald? Box spring bed? (1/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

Ines has a problem. In the tram she gets caught with her horns on the grab rail. She sees the good, though, noting, “You can hold on like that on the tram. Then you have both hands free.” Meanwhile, unrest arises around Ines. One of the tram passengers remarks that it “looks like a cemetery” here, whereupon another enlightens him by saying, “It’s like this every year. They are always here at Pentecost. It’s WGT! Don’t you know that!?”

17:27: Two people who took a selfie with me have a special feature. Mark: “You’re wearing an Element of Crime T-shirt – not a classic Goth band! You don’t want to go to WGT at all?” Person with Element-of-Crime T-shirt, who later introduces himself as Theo: “I live here!” Mark: “What kind of music do you like?” Theo: “Punk Rock!” Is Element of Crime a classic Punk Rock band?” Theo: “No, rather not!” Mark: “And you’re dressed all in white?” Man-in-White, introducing himself as Juna: “Yes, that’s an anime shirt. And I have another special feature: animal welfare!” Mark: “Did you just go to the anime fair?” Juna: “Nah, it was in Jena three months ago.” Mark: “Are you just a random guest or are you part of the WGT environment?” Juna: “Tomorrow I’m meeting up with my Punks.” Info: The WGT was originally also very punk-heavy, but that was some time ago.
