Start Trekkin NY performed two crazy shows on the upstairs stage at the 2009 NY Comicon at the Javitz Center in Manhattan. This was our second year in a row at the con, we had huge crowds this time, a better sound system, a stage set up specifically for performance and demonstration away from the main floor of the con, and as you will see, a much larger cast of characters.
These shows tend to be quite chaotic, as we're sort of competing with the throngs of passersby and fascinating costume designs constantly walking past the stage during the shows, plus, we are playing to a big crowd in a sound destroying room, as well as trying to fit an hour's worth of story in a half hour show. So its really just get to the conflict, hit the right notes the throngs of fans are familiar with, fight it out, and find an ending, without a lot of room for subtlety. Not that I'm making excuses. I think these kind of shows are a lot of fun, and good for the group to find the core of the what makes the show go, so to speak.
And sometimes it just turns into a big rumble.
Here are some clips of both shows, recorded on a friends regular digital camera (not a movie camera), so we have some cool, sort of non-linear snippets of both shows. Dig it!!
Here's show #1
