Saberproject & CinemaxX Herten: Fan Days
29 December 2008 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Monday, Dec 29, 2008 * Delay – Setup – Let's go
The first day of „Saberproject goes CinemaxX Herten“ didn't start until around 15:00. We couldn't show up until then because there were technical problems at the cinema. Our booth had already been set up by Andre, Lukas and Jan, while the other half of the team was stuck in traffic and had to pick up the newcomers, Iris and Markus, from the train station.
At 17:00 the latecomers finally arrived too.
Jan immediately took care of getting the projector running that showed our trailer on a screen.
The three girls, Iris, Jasmin and Jana, also helped out a lot during the two days at the cinema, even though they aren't part of the team. Among other things, they took care of properly selling the raffle tickets. But of course they also picked up sabers. Jasmin practiced her choreography with Lukas and helped Jana and Iris take turns beating up Markus on a regular basis. So everyone had fun … well, almost everyone.
Finally the first curious visitors showed up at our booth, looked around and asked the team questions.
Things were explained, demonstrated and discussed.
During the quieter phases, everyone was mainly busy swinging their sabers.
Tim and Markus in particular were happy to finally improvise again.
Refreshing old choreographies also worked better than expected. Getting a choreography back without major problems after four months of not running through it even once was almost like magic.
The Force was with us.
But despite these successes, on Monday we decided not to put on a demonstration of our fighting skills and stuck to small samples in the foyer.
At around 20:00 we were finally able to satisfy our hunger with pizza. After a few more visitors and an overall very nice evening, we finally packed up our booth at around 23:00 and stored our things in an adjoining room. Then we set off and got home at around midnight, but didn't go to bed until around 3:30, since a few damaged sabers still had to be fixed 😉
