Things to look forward to:
This year's WGT is going to be fantastic! I can't wait to meet all those people I havn't seen for AGES, finally get to know some online "friends" in real life and spend 4-5 days partying and attending great concerts. :D
There have already been a couple of wonderful bands announced, e.g. gorgeous FRANK THE BAPTIST (we'll have some sort of semi-official relase party for their third album "The New Colossus" at Bats Over Kiel the day after tomorrow! :-)), 45 GRAVE (how old are they by now...?!), CINEMA STRANGE (who I've never seen live before), DER FLUCH (more old people :D), FRANKENSTEIN (I love his voice, esp. live on stage), SHADOW REICHENSTEIN, NEW SKIN (though I think they're more pop than goth, anyway planning to go & see them), THE DEEP EYNDE, THE LAST DAYS OF JESUS, VIVE LA FETE (who I sadly missed last year) and ZOMBINA AND THE SKELETONES.
The Gothic Pogo Party is hosting a whole lot of great bands this year as well, e.g. CHARLES DE GAUL and CAUDA PAVONIS! Aaaand cyberpagan_de is spinnig records there on Thursday. Great initiation I'd say! :3
