Technik Museum Speyer 2015
26 September 2015 @ 8:00 am – 30 September 2015 @ 5:00 pm
On site for the fourth time!
The Technik Museum Speyer: where expensive rarities of automotive history and historic aircraft usually face each other and draw the visitors' eyes, there were quite different things to marvel at on the weekend of September 26 and 27. But what's going on when an entire museum is suddenly no longer the main attraction itself?
When the inhabitants of a galaxy far, far away suddenly mingle among the exhibits, there can only be one reason: the Science Fiction Meetup took place there for the eighth time. Reason enough for us to join in, almost by old tradition, and enrich the event with all kinds of lightsabers. Unfortunately we were there without our booth again this time, but in return we delivered some of probably our best shows of the year, because the truly gigantic IMAX cinema of the museum was, as always, an ideal place to experience the show, and not only for the spectators, who got to sit in comfy cinema seats.
We too really enjoyed fighting our lightsaber battles on the spacious stage while enjoying the finest cinema sound. But as if all that weren't enough, the audience made it even better. We were very impressed by the audience, and such strong applause even between scenes was something completely new, for which we'd like to thank everyone involved once again. Motivation like that may not necessarily make it easier to perform three shows in one day, but it makes it a lot more entertaining.
But there was plenty to do beyond all that too. When we weren't busy preparing the shows, we had enough time to take a lap through the museum, meet old friends or make a detour to the space exhibition hall, where all kinds of fan and sales booths had set up shop between the space shuttle and other space technology.
While the guest stars Wanja Gerick (German voice actor of Anakin Skywalker), Peter Roy (rebel officer in Episode IV) and Michael Kingma (Wookiee general Tarfful) answered fans' questions in a relaxed talk, once again hosted by our Tim, you could also take part in numerous other activities. These included a workshop that offered an interesting and educational insight into the Klingon language, because for all the linguistically gifted, it was once again: the Klingon teacher is coming!
All in all, an exhausting but also very fun event in front of a unique backdrop came to an end, where all science fiction fans, big or small, got their money's worth.
We in any case want to thank all fans and friends and are already looking forward to next year, when hopefully once again every imaginable stormtrooper, Wookiee or maybe even a Klingon or two will turn the Technik Museum into a spaceport.
