The first WGT experience I've had - came, bursted and then left me a bit breathless and in a kind of emotional hole; this is what happens when too much impressions are gathered in only three days.

Or it might have been the logical reaction after seeing so many goths at one place and the inescapable depression that such a view would cause to anyone.
I am tempted to quote my dear Lisa here as I so much agree with her:
"Oh, Gods (not sure if she ever used such a word), don't these people know it is a music festival not a fashion show!?!"

It was an inner fight for me as I have always tried to be tolerant as long as such personal decisions go.

Although tolerance should not be exposed to the guys I was travelling with - these cruel friends Lerry and Ollie who shamelessly advised me to "style myself, try the skills of the local hairdresser; put cute pink dreadlocks and run to Agra on the highest latex boots I could find on the stands around"

Back to tolerance - no, in fact I am not tolerant; I am not tolerant to human stupidity and could never understand how people could live like blind horses, but  only having sight for provocation and their own small trifling world of ideas. Surely to where I tend now are the conflicts that anti-fa created in front of UT Connewitz... I don't feel like speaking too much about this now and am even prone to take it from the funny side especially since nobody was seriously harmed.

 And to these who do not know yet: Stormfagel represent the face of the most evil nazis (this according to Leipzig anti-fa activists); what to say - yes, the lovely Hungarian girl dared to appear dressed in traditional folklore clothes and might even have planned to sing "Soldatenlied der Honved"... who knows

To generalize - I was happy to see wonderful concerts and meet lots of wonderful old and new friends and after all that is what matters.

Thank you and hopefully see you in 12 months at the same time at the same place.

Cheers!

Desiderii Marginis прави страхотни неща, наистина! Но за мен най-големият в тази сфера е друг човек, който за съжаление не беше на таз-годишното WGT - In Slaughter Natives. А относно избраните групи - това е съвсем естествено, защото като цяло това е музиката, която слушам.

perfect shots as always:) *

and i dont know what to say for those thickheaded protestors you re mentioning my dear katia. such a deplorable mentality they have in this manner...sometimes political correctness can be so imprisoning and blindining in art, in critical thinking or any kinda path of creation... but what i simply cant get is how they came up with that idea about Stormfagel ? this is really funny ... some anti-fa and anarcho activist are so stuck deep in their desire of labelling... at least, im expecting them to have a brief research about the ideas or the Ones they re protesting against... at least...

We had already discussed this subject of blindness, my dear, and you see - there are no geographical, aged or whatever limits for it; only maybe it has slightly different face of development here and there.

Great photos, Katia! Thomas is looking mighty soulful there! Of all of the bands there, I have no idea why they would have singled out Stormfågel, considering they are so harmless. The brown shirted hoodlums of yesterday, the dreadlocked trashcans of today..

Thank you, Joseph! You know our mate Thomas has this ability of impressive emotive appearance on stage :) And the only explanation I can find concerning Stormfågel is that they were first in the line-up and maybe the stupid, as you said - 'trashcans', picked it randomly.

So again Katia has proven it's totally unnecessary to queue up and shove oneself into an unaired concert room, when you know the best impressions of any concert you missed while hanging around outside the place of acion with bratwurst, pils and nice Fräuleins, can be found and admired shortly after in her blog ;-)

It has been a pleasure to meet you there and I'm totally offended everyone here had a personal photoshooting with Sofia's most wanted except me ! ;-p

D'Ehre,
JK

Благородно де.

И снимките пак са uber alles!

Брех, девойко мари, що не станеш един фрийлансър фотограф и да си живееш живота, не да одиш до другия край на София всеки ден... :)

Аз тъкмо се чудя какви снимки да сложа от Рим...

In absence there's a lot to perceive. No encounter, no shared memories, but hopefully, something beyond.
After all maybe it is better i was not at WGT - there's far too much ppl there .:.

The last(and only)time I attended WGT was in about 2002,what a good year for folk,etc that was! hagalaz runedance,ataraxia,argine,forseti + rose mcdowall,sonne hagal,romowe rikoitokirlian camera,Helium Vola,Soft Cell,Arcana,Darkwood,Moonspell,Naevus,Raison d´Étre,The Legendary Pink Dots,and so forth(Tomas from ORE was there pimping Cold Meat stuff).Unfortunately,that was also the year that some neofolk people were attacked after the Kirlian Camera event and since then in my opinion,it has become more of a fashion show than about the music.I was lucky enough to get in free that year(a friends band was performing at the festival)but at $100 each or so,that's too much money to put to semthing with such little personal return.

Glad you had fun though and nice pics:)

Great pics... as for me, I went only twice to the WGT and one was when the whole festival got cancelled on the second day because the organizer at the time had apparently run away with the money... Still I will always remember some concerts (Forseti, OTWATM...), the unbelievable Völkerschlachtdenkmal under the coming storm and the Parkbühne crowd - also a fashion show maybe, but much more my style - austrian camo parkas, black boots and clean haircuts by the hundred... ;)
And the goths of the Agra Halle, well at least they are funny to look at, so much better than your average hip-hop uniformed youth anyway.
