Hey, kids,
It's your ol' Star Trek: The Experience shill was some details on some of the final events of The Experience. This was e-mailed to me by my friend April who plays Andorian Commander Tahryn and Vulcan Professor T'Pril and was one of the first people (along with another friend, Kerstan, who plays the other Andorian on the station) hired at The Experience in 1997 to test the shuttles and refine the scripted part of the Klingon Encounter. Lynn (mentioned in the e-mail) plays Major Kahlyn, whom several of you have a major crush on
.
Please keep adding to the memorial thread. As you will see from this e-mail, the people that work there love the place as much as we do.
Here's the message:
*************************
FYI, you may be interested in attending (and perhaps participating, if we can work it out) in a few of the events that are planned for the con and for closing...
1) There will be an "alien panel" on convention Sunday evening with all of us present aliens in attendance (in our human form) so people can ask us questions about character, makeup, etc. It will be moderated by Michael Westmore so lots of convention-goers will want to attend. You probably won't get to be on the panel, but we can certainly have any previous aliens acknowledged (if you are there), and no doubt people will want to talk to you about your character if they know you worked there previously. I am so excited about it; many fans have said they want to know more about us, and this will be their only opportunity...as yet there is no information about how many tickets will be available and how much those tickets might be...
2) There will be a decommissioning ceremony (my idea, thank you very much, although Lynn has been working very hard on the details) after the last show on September 1st. The station will close around 9 pm and we are trying to get someone important (haven't quite got it worked out yet so I can't say who) to come. If you are familiar with the decommissioning of a ship, this is similar, very pomp and circumstance, and everyone on board will be "called off" the station. It will be the perfect closure to the amazing thing we have created over the past 10 1/2 years.
It has been my privilege to be a part of STTE over the years, I am so proud of the timestation and what it has meant to everyone involved. No one has more joy (and pain) invested in it than I have, and I will be so sad to see it go. As for Commander Tahryn, she is only interested in getting command of an Imperial warship, so she will not shed any tears over the collapse of the temporal rift. Professor T'Pril, on the other hand, would have liked to have more time to complete her observations of 21st century humans, because she finds them so fascinating. But a teaching position at the Vulcan Science Academy awaits, so she will no doubt use her knowledge of humans in this time period to educate young Vulcans about humanity's struggles.
Feel free to send this message to anyone who cares about STTE. Please, please join us and help us make the timestation part of Star Trek mythos.
