Wacken for beginners 2019

After her first experiences as an author in the 1990s with the „Kauderwelsch Band Costa Rica“, which she wrote after a year's stay in Central America, and „How about a sheep - Surprising impulses for climate changes in the office“ in 2018 „WACKEN for Beginners 2019“ (that she didn’t just write for WACKEN-GREENHORNS) is her third book of hearts. The idea of writing this special homage to WACKEN came to her mind at her first Wacken in 2018. This Festival visit was only possible because she surprisingly got a ticket two days before the festival started. Within a very short time she had to decide wether to go to WACKEN or not. Although it quickly became clear, that she had to drive alone, she decided to do so. At over 30°C she made her way by train to WACKEN with only a small pink backpack and her sleeping bag as companion.-A thousand stories about WACKEN haunted her head, but absolutely ZERO real experience. Fortunately she met many experienced Wacken visitors on the way, who were always there to help and advice her. In the end it was these encounters that made her days in Wacken an unforgettable experience. She has written this book to be able to gratefully pass on her insights and experiences to others who may be in a similar situation or who simply want to get a little more involved with what actually makes this incredibly delightful WACKEN feeling. Would you like to know more about the soul of WACKEN and the people who created this festival and make it possible every year? Great, then THIS book is exactly the right thing for YOU. With the symbol of the cow skull, the founders of the W: O: A - FESTIVAL Thomas Jensen and Uwe Hübner made themselves known as „boys from the village“. For Regine Rauin, the ram’s head symbolises not only her own zodiac sign but also her origin as a country girl. To be more precise, a village that at that time consisted of only 200 inhabitants - and about 20 cow meadows. With the ram in her zodiac sign, Regine Rauin knows all about having horns. So who could be better suited than her to accompany YOU on your first WACKEN? Since Aries are not only faithful and assertive, but also quick and wildly determined, this book (and the similarly named German version) was started 33 days before the beginning of W: O: A 2019 and is therefore highly topical! Are you in? Then let's go to the HOLY GROUND WACKEN-OPEN-AIR 2019 - the 30th WACKEN since its inception.
