Star Trek: Excelsior, Huge Announcement

Hey gang, I'm sure some of you know that I am a voice actor on a podcast/audio drama type show call Star Trek: Excelsior. We've been producing really good stories, to relatively great internet critical acclaim, for several years now, & today we have a very big announcement. We've been in touch with the agents who represent Nichelle Nichols & Walter Koenig, & if we can raise the proper fees for their appearance, they have agreed to star in an episode of our show, as their legendary characters, Uhura & Chekov!

Given their advanced age, this may in fact be the very last time they ever perform these characters! We have just put up a brand new episode of our show yesterday. If you're interested in that, you can enjoy it here http://starshipexcelsior.com/

& this is a link to our kickstarter page, where we're trying to raise funds to pay for their future appearance on our show https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/67956312/walter-koenig-and-nichelle-nichols-join-star-trek

This is about the coolest thing ever for us, rubbing elbows with the original legends! Woohoo! :joy:

I'd honestly lost track, but we have a forum just like this one, & I just went & searched out the comment thread for the pilot. It was in September of 2007, so 8 years now. Production has slowed considerably from time to time, but quality has improved epically. We're currently about half-way through season 4, & done about 30 episodes, plus some additional material that can be found on the site

We're trying to do something epic for the Star Trek 50th anniversary. It'll probably end up being feature film length. Ms. Nichols' appearance will require about $5,500. I'm determined to get us to that goal, if I have to put a big portion of it in myself. lol. Mr. Koenig's appearance, on the other hand will run upwards of 12,000. We'll try a second fund raiser for that. I'm not entirely sure if we can pull it off, but if we don't, we're moving forward with just an epic appearance from CAPTAIN Uhura, where she would be the star of the episode, & the rest of our cast shows up in supporting roles

Now that I've noticed how long it's been, I suppose we should start thinking about what to do for our 10 year anniversary :dizzy:

Edit: Hey! We're actually doing pretty good. We're up over 1000 in less than a week, & we still plan to run this 1st stage of fund raising for another 4 weeks

Me either to be honest. I'm way more thrilled about Nichols, personally. I suspect he does more appearances. In fact, Chekov was a major character in Renegades wasn't he? I haven't seen that yet. I figure he gets around more... unless you count that she will be flying on a NASA MISSION! lol

Actually, I was a bit off about the rates. I guess Nichols & Koenig ask close to the same rate, $5,500 each, but the total we need to raise is over12,000, because to record them, our production people will need to travel to California, & set up shop. I'm beginning to worry that we may not raise the total amount. With 9 days left in the fund raiser, we've only gotten 7,300, which is pretty amazing, but may not be enough to get both of them on the show, even after I add my sizable donation :(

Well, after consulting the head producer, I found out some things that are looking up. One of the backers is also on the production team, & he has a little behind the scenes contest. He's going to add another 1,500 if we can reach 11,000 no later than Sunday. So I put my donation in, which bumped it up pretty good, & now we're only 1,400 from getting to the 11,000, at which time, this other guy will top us off & achieve our goal. So we only need 1,400 more! And the main producer is optimistic, because he's working on filling that amount with some other sources

I think this might happen!

If we hit the goal, I'll be donating 2,000 of my own money :dizzy:

But think about it. How much money would you pay to appear in a Star Trek production with 2 of the original cast? I mean holy crap! :joy:

people spend that much & more for some private or semi-private meet-and-greet thing at conventions.

The fund raising campaign is over. We raise $16,000, & during the last week of fund raising, our team took out a loan to get a jump start on the project, immediately flying out to California, to record both our famous stars!

AND pictures from the recording session! (Which I was not in attendance for, but that's ok, because I get to act in the show with them!)
