We did Hamlet at I-Con

["David Trimboli" <SuStel@email.msn.com>]

Greetings!  I just wanted to let everyone know that our performance at
Hamlet was short, but a success.  We did two scenes: "Alas, poor Yorik" (or,
{Do'Ha' yorIq}), and the fight scene at the end.  We had a nice roomful of
people and two recordings were made (I'm trying to get my hands on one, the
other might become available through Infinite Possibilities
(www.iconsf.org/ip).  I don't know any more than that so far.

I also got interviewed by someone from Newsday, and I got two paragraphs in
the Saturday and Sunday editions!  The relevant section, from the article
"Convention Is Out Of This World," by Katie Thomas, went like this (errors
included):

Next door to the dealers room, Huntington resident David Trimboli was
reciting a line from Hamlet.  "taH pagh taHbe," he said.  "DaH mu'tlheghvam
vIqeln IS."  Loosely translated from the Klingon, Trimboli said, that means:
"To be or not to be.  That is the question."

Trimboli, 26, a sales clerk, was minding the table for the Klingon Language
Institute, a Flourtown, Pa.-based non-profit organization "dedicated to
studying the Klingon language and providing a common forum for its
speakers."

Finally, I got lots of KLI flyers out, and managed to get a few players to
pronounce, if not speak, Klingon.

It was a good convention.  If you were there, and are checking out the
mailing list, let us know!  I'd love to get a qepHom together if I knew
people were going to come!
