in the way of tapes
or paraphernalia or photographs."

:11:04
If we could get 300 people
to attend,

:11:07
we could...we could pay for it."
:11:10
And I thought,
"They're inviting me to New Y ork?

:11:15
They said they're
willing to pay expenses

:11:18
and, you know, fly me there
and put me up in a hotel."

:11:20
I thought,
"These people are foolish."

:11:23
And, uh...
:11:24
there was something like,
:11:25
I think there were around
3,000 or 4,000 people showed up,

:11:30
and it was absolutely wild then.
:11:32
They had to call the fire
department into the hotel
to let them in in increments.

:11:37
Everything came to a dead stop.
It was jam-packed with humanity.

:11:41
The revolving doors
couldn't revolve.

:11:42
The escalators refused
to operate anymore.

:11:45
The elevators stopped working.
:11:47

:12:03
It was like a bunch
of overaged Beatles for us, you know,

:12:06
me being there.
:12:08
Nimoy: There was hardly
a chance to speak

:12:10
because every word
created a roar.

:12:12
Every time somebody opened their mouths
to say hello, it created a roar.

:12:15
A wall of emotional sound hit you.
:12:18
And we were all
kind of taken aback

:12:22
and moved and touched by it
:12:24
because it was this
tremendous affection,

:12:27
this tremendous affection.
:12:28
And now there is
a Star Trek convention--

:12:32
There are Star Trek conventions
somewhere every weekend
all over the world.

:12:50
Hi.
:12:52
Hi there.
:12:53
Can I have
a schedule, please?

:12:57
Ah. Majel.
Definitely got to see Majel.

:12:59
She's onstage right now.
