Brilliant take on how aesthetics create experience independent of authenticity. The contrast between nighttime magic and daylight reality at Frankfurt's markets really captures something about modern tourism that most people dont wanna admit. That whole section about off-duty elves and their fag-in-mouth disillusionment is comedy gold but also kinda depressing when you think abuot it.

Thanks man! A lot of them looked like pretty tough guys too. They big jacked, tatooed elves, angry at the world

Insightful comment. In my experience, the best comedy springs out of the grimmest depression.

"I chose breaking my mind, over breaking a child’s heart." That's what a true hero does in my book, Sam. You make a very cute elf.
