1:08:00
which we did,
and it was great fun.
1:08:02
he was a perfect
gentleman to me.
1:08:03
My name is James Kirk.
1:08:05
I changed my name because
ever since I was little,
1:08:09
I always wanted to change my name to
something I would enjoy, I would like,
1:08:15
something more befitting
my character.
1:08:16
I've had a lot of ridicule,
but I've had a lot of positive.
1:08:21
A lot of people go, "l wish I had
the guts to do something like that
1:08:25
or change it to something
I would be pleased with."
1:08:28
I go, "You can. You can do
anything you want in life."
1:08:32
I am with the starship Riverside
from Riverside, lowa.
1:08:35
It's a small town that's become
famous because in the movies,
1:08:40
Kirk actually
says he's from lowa.
1:08:41
About approximately
12 years ago,
1:08:43
Riverside proclaimed the right
to be the future birthplace
1:08:46
of Captain James T. Kirk,
1:08:48
and so far, it's been a big boon
1:08:50
to the town.
1:08:52
We have our Star Trek fest
1:08:53
the last Saturday of every June.
1:08:56
We get anywhere from 3,000
to maybe 6,000 people to town.
1:09:01
We have a parade, a carnival,
1:09:02
a contest.
1:09:04
It's just really a boon
to the town.
1:09:07
[Applause And Cheering]
1:09:09
Jimmy, my boy, Jimmy!
1:09:11
Happy birthday!
1:09:12
Man: We've been having
this party now for years.
1:09:14
It seems like every year,
it gets to be a little bit more fun
1:09:17
and a couple more people come.
1:09:19
You know, it started off small,
1:09:21
and now the younger
people are coming,
1:09:24
and this year, we had a girl
come and everything,
1:09:27
so, you know, I just foresee it
going on and on.
1:09:30
Man: It's just kind of a fun
bonding thing we do out here.
1:09:33
Every year, I whip up my
world-famous Romulan concoction.
1:09:36
I won't reveal the ingredients.
1:09:38
Man: You know, I like the Vulcan.
The Vulcan's a very logical person.
1:09:42
That's why I like Spock,
and he's very logical,
1:09:45
and with the conventions that we go to,
there's a lot of Klingons.
1:09:50
And being a Vulcan, it's kind of nice
to kind of stand out in that way,
1:09:53
and, you know, the Vulcans are obviously
a lot smarter than the Klingons as well.
