WHY THE WEBSITE?
I have created this website to help first timers get to the worlds biggest and best Gothic Festival. I suppose I found it rather daunting
when I first went as there is very little information in English on the Internet that can help you. If you have been before you will know what
I mean, with the various venues scattered around the city its very easy to miss whole sections of the festival.
In 2002 I finally got around to going to my first Wave Gotik Treffen (WGT), having previously only been to various UK based festivals. I
didn't know what to expect, except for the knowledge that there were 150 bands playing. I loved every minute of the festival, from the
shopping hall to the bands playing, from the multi-national make up of the crowd to the city and all that has to offer. I have been every
year since, and it really is the highlight of my year. I started a small Yahoo Group to help other English speaking Goths get to Leipzig,
and as the group has grown its become obvious that people want more information on how to get to Leipzig and what to expect when
they get there. I initially sat down and wrote a 20 page guide to WGT, however there was still more information to add. The Guide has
evolved to become this website. Feel free to email me, with suggested ideas, a review, or to join the yahoo group.
I don’t profess to be an expert on the festival, nor do I have any connections with the organisers, this is purely my own opinion of what I
have seen and experienced, although I hope many of you will send me additional information. Although most of the travel information is
for a British traveller I hope that I can expand this to cover more counties. See you in Leipzig.
VISION FOR THE FUTURE
I had a vision to have this site translated into various other languages, over the past year or two various people have offered their
services to do this, however I the site was not stable enough, and would need lots of re-work. If you have plenty of time and would care
to translate this site into German, French, Spanish, Russian or any other language then please contact me. There is little in the way of
incentive and no compensation other than knowing that you are helping others. Note there are over 150 pages to translate if you should
feel the urge to offer your services. Contact me for further details or to ask questions.
