DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (14/60) – Depeche Mode? Abba? Roland Kaiser? (2/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

Julia has joined Ines in the DJ backstage. It is not their first WGT, but their nineteenth. Mark: “You said the hall we’re about to perform in is in trouble.” Julia: “I said nothing of the sort, but the opposite!” Mark: “We’re excited.”

03 June 2022 – Friday, Leipzig

01:09 a.m.: A comparatively large crowd of black people is standing at the stop in front of the agra, although according to all timetable information, the next train will not leave for another 2 hours and 30 minutes. Ines calls out to the crowd, “The tram doesn’t leave for another 2 hours and 30 minutes!” No one reacts. The quantity becomes larger.

Later that night: In the pale lantern light we find a dead bird dried out and with wings spread. We are not sure if it is a real bird or the hat decoration of a Gothic outfit. Or both. (Text & photos: Mark Benecke)

In the next part we will talk again about tights.
