Saberproject & CinemaxX Herten: Fan Days – Day 2
30 December 2008 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Tuesday, Dec 30, 2008 * Crafting – Sabers – Summary
Because we had been tinkering with Markus's saber until 3:30 am, we didn't get up until around 11 am, and we wanted to be back at the cinema at 13:00. After everyone except Markus, who absolutely wanted to finish his saber, had enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, we set off and, thanks to Markus dawdling, arrived a few minutes late.
Back at the cinema, we set up our booth. After a short briefing, we staffed the booth and waited for visitors. Compared to the day before, more visitors came.
Once again we were supported by an Imperial officer, and members of the „Order of the Force“ and of lichtgeschwindigkeit.de also dropped by later.
Overall we spent a quiet morning, which we filled in our free time with practicing, designing choreographies and improvising. Jan, who tried on Alex's Darth Vader costume, also had his fun with latex overshoes, to everyone's amusement.
In the afternoon the crowd finally got a bit bigger. We explained, discussed and demonstrated. Today, too, we didn't do a live show like the ones shown before every screening at the Cinemaxx Mühlheim; interest didn't seem big enough. So we stuck to demonstrating parts of our choreographies.
When the last films of the day had started, we took a few more team photos and finally tore down our booth, so that by around 0:30 we had packed the cars and could head home.
Overall, the event at the Cinemaxx was a nice, if largely quiet, end to the year for us. Compared to the launch of Clone Wars at the Cinemaxx Mühlheim, the crowd was smaller, but that was probably because December 29 and 30 were normal working days and many potential visitors were at work.
We'd like to thank the Cinemaxx Herten for providing an area of the foyer and for the catering, and especially Robin Ehlert, who already lent us a helping hand at the Cinemaxx Mülheim.
