DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (8/60) – Confetti? Dero? Fluffy socks? (2/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

We made it into the EMP. Frank Glassl (Solitary Experiments) will perform a metal set at the WGT on Saturday. With a guest DJ. Namely with Dero: “You may remember him from OOMPH! We’re excited!” Mark: “How did you prepare yourselves? Dero is not really known for metal…” EMP boss: “We do a lot of confetti and all the rigmarole.” Mark: “Black confetti?” EMP boss: “Of course!” Mark: “What do you guys think about confetti?” Lin: “If it’s black, it’s great!” (laughs)

After what should have been a suspicious one-hour break, Ines shows me a TikTok video that shows huge black blades – they appear to be her fingernails – shooting out of her body all at once. Ines explains: “This is from a computer game. You know the one. The fantasy computer game where characters fight each other.” Is there only one of these games? (Text and photos: Mark Benecke)

The next part is finally about fluffy socks!
