Zo... This weekend was the WGT in Leipzig, for all you people who've just come out of your caves. Sadly, I didn't take THAT many pictures, but I will now supply you with a few of the awesomer ones, in order of the happenings.
Firstly, we nearly couldn't buy tickets for our train because we (read: the Nameless Wonder) decided that we should go to the station at the other end of town, which is even smaller than our one, and so rural we couldn't quite figure out how to even get onto the platform. When we got there, we found that the ticket machine was not taking notes, and we didn't have enough coins to buy the tickets. Luckily some kind old man gave us change, because ticket inspectors checked us TWICE on the way to the hauptbahnhof (after several months of being in some kind of ticket-inspection hibernation).

Thankfully, we got to Leipzig without much further drama. Our hotel was conveniently quite close to Leipzig hauptbahnhof, but we were first whisked away by our lovely friends for some snackage shopping (which ended up being mostly red bull). It was awesome being in the train station and watching all the "freaks" out and about in their finest gothery, punkery and lolitary. The shopping was fun, because we mostly messed around and nobody really knew what was going on anyway; we were pretty sure the shopkeepers were trying to keep all the scary people out because they were very spitefully blaring the Spice Girls into our poor virgin ears.
After shopping we went to the hotel to check in and goth up (which for me meant mostly putting on more makeup, as I'd decided to travel in my outfit to save time).

We then met up with our friends and went off to go get registered and branded (just kidding, mostly), and people-watched from the sidelines as they strutted their stuff trying to get photographed.

Fucking about.
My outfit combined my new comfy-yet-awesome shorts, the Hat and my Boots. It made me almost as happy as the people did.

We then went shopping at the market in the mahoosive Agra hall. Seriously overstimulated, I didn't manage to buy anything but just jumped about from stall to stall like an ADD squirrel while the grown-ups did actual looking at stuff. I wish I had taken some pictures of the merchandise, as there were some seriously awesomely amazing things, amongst others a hat stall that I'm sure Tim Burton would have been quite happy to prop shop at; they deserved to be in movies.
It was then time to part ways as I wanted to see Lacuna Coil. Stay tuned for part two of picspam and lollygagging.
