Saturday of every June. We get anywhere from 3,000 to maybe 6,000 people to town. We have a parade, a carnival, a contest. It's just really a boon to the town. [Applause And Cheering] Jimmy, my boy, Jimmy! Happy birthday! Man: We've been having this party now for years. It seems like every year, it gets to be a little bit more fun and a couple more people come. You know, it started off small, and now the younger people are coming, and this year, we had a girl come and everything, so, you know, I just foresee it going on and on. Man: It's just kind of a fun bonding thing we do out here. Every year, I whip up my world-famous Romulan concoction. I won't reveal the ingredients. Man: You know, I like the Vulcan. The Vulcan's a very logical person. That's why I like Spock, and he's very logical, and with the conventions that we go to, there's a lot of Klingons. And being a Vulcan, it's kind of nice to kind of stand out in that way, and, you know, the Vulcans are obviously a lot smarter than the Klingons as well. Man: I drove down from Calgary today to take a look at the starship Enterprise, The model that we have here in Vulcan, Alberta. I'm really impressed with the beautiful job they've done on it, and I think it's really great that here in Canada, the town of Vulcan has adopted the Star Trek theme. Man: We really enjoy having people from all over the world to talk with and share with us their stories of Star Trek and the things that they've been involved with. Woman: I'm visiting Vulcan today because of the Star Trek convention. Obviously, it's a Vulcan community. My heroes are Spock and Tuvok and Spock's father. Man: Some people have fake or phony Spock ears, but I have the real thing. It's been a--as you can imagine, 30 years of amazing experiences, one after another. I was at a party once many years ago that Paramount was giving, a big promotional party for a number of their movies, and all of the stars of these various films were there, and I was invited. The place was packed with people, and it was in New Y ork, and I felt a pair of hands on my shoulder. And, um...somebody whispered into my ear and said, "l recognize you. You had your ears fixed." And it was John Wayne. Everybody was doing ear jokes in those days. I got a kick out of that. It was fun. There is a great deal of my personality that is Mr. Spock. I try to function on logic and intelligence and not get carried away with emotion. I do consider myself, as I say, half Vulcan. I did draw the line, though, at having my ears surgically altered to points. It was just too expensive. But I'll tell you the real truth. I... If I had the money, I would do it. I don't march to the regular drummer. You would go through the pain of having your ears surgically altered? Yeah. I really would. And it's not so much... Yeah. I really would. I like to be different, and this is a unique way of being different, and it's a noninvasive, nonharmful way of being different. And even if I have pointed ears, I can still function in the world in whatever I do. It just makes me that much more different, and I would think in a positive way. But I don't think I'll be out, you know, getting it tomorrow. I would hope he couldn't find a doctor who'd be willing to do that, personally. This is Computer. This is-- Hi, Computer. This is my dog. All the stuff that Star Trek predicted is all coming true. The talking computers-- I mean, computers are better now than they were in the original series. There are people that are intrigued by the speculative technology on Star Trek. You know, my buddies would have Cheryl Tiegs, Freddie Mercury, Farrah Fawcett posters in their bedroom. I had the blueprints for the Enterprise. I started to build this--Nomad.
