DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (7/60) – Confetti? Dero? Fluffy socks? (1/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

We are standing in front of the EMP and want to go inside. Before that we meet Martin and Lin. Mark: “You’re not completely dressed up yet. What are you going to look like?” Martin: “A little black Victorian.” Mark: (glances at the navy-colored T-shirt and realizes, quite the forensic scientist, fibers): “Do you have a dog or a cat?” Lin: “A cat! A gray cat.” Mark: “Why don’t you have a black cat?” Martin: “It wasn’t available in black, it’s a Main-Coon and it’s not available in black yet.” Mark: “The last time you were at WGT was six years ago. Did you keep your tickets from three years ago or buy new ones?” Martin: “Yes, we kept them.” Mark: “How sad have you been in the past few years?” Lin: “I was devastated! Yesterday we came from Belgium to Leipzig.” Mark sees a picture of the cat and can no longer speak. Mark: “We are cute-ified!”

Someone comes out of the EMP store: Yves Toossems. Mark: “He’s a ‘known figure’ at WGT. What does that mean?” Lin: “Everyone knows him!” Mark: “For what?” Lin: “Because of his outfit and makeup.” Mark: “So people know him because he’s beautiful, not because he drinks a lot.” (Text and photos: Mark Benecke)

The next part is actually about Dero. And black confetti.
