6/07/00 -- 6/14/00

Without a whole lot of thought, my friend Donya and I decided to go to Germany for the Wave-Gottik-Treffen music festival! Ha, what a trip! It occurred over the weekend of my 30th birthday, and wow, what a trip it was. What follows are my photos and commentary on the experience, which in some ways seemed to resemble a surreal Great Escape film, as Donya and I tried desperately to escape Germany into the promised land of the Czech Republic, encountering poor transportation and sexual innuendo at every turn!
