Did I ever tell you about the time I met Lenord Nimoy?

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Let me just say upfront that this story isn’t as exciting as it sounds. I did actually meet Mr. Nimoy in person and it was a total accident that we met. I had won some tickets to a comic book or sci-fi convention from calling into the local new station and being the 11th caller. I wasn’t particularly interested in going to the convention, but since I had free tickets to get in I figured what the heck. I decided to take my girlfriend, Joey with me even though she wasn’t that into Sci-Fi either. We figured it was something different to do on a Saturday.

I picked her up in my 1971 Nova, which to this day is one of the greatest cars I’ve ever owned. We drive 50 miles to the busting metropolis of St. Louis to one of the downtown hotels (I can’t recall which one) and enter into into some kind of alternate reality. I don’t know if you’ve every been to a Sci-Fi or comic book convention, but it is a truly unique experience. It is the only place where you can walk around and see Starfleet Officers, Klingon’s, Vulcans, Storm Troopers, Jedi, Predators, Aliens (from the Alien movies) Terminators and various superheros in the same place. I was (and still am) amazed at the amount of grown people who dress up like fictional non-human creatures and pretend. Most of the folks I met that day actually had jobs during the day, but when they weren’t at work being Joe Snuffy they were dressed up like Glarxkx the Klingon Warlord or whatever. I admire them because I don’t have the emotional strength to be two people, especially if one has ridges on his head and is an intergalactic killing machine.

Lenord Nimoy was the featured speaker that day we I decided to make Joey sit through his talk. It was actually pretty interesting. He talked about directing Star Trek IV, you know the crappy one with the whales. He also talked in great length about his pet project. It was a movie about Siamese Twins. I know the politically correct term is Conjoined Twins, but the dudes in the story were actually Siamese, so Siamese Twins is technically correct. He seemed real authentic and quite an interesting person. I especially liked a story he told about leaving the set one day and going to his other job (I don’t remember what it was, but it was some kind of food service or hotel worker or something). He talked about people staring at him because he forgot to take off the Spock ears. This was well before Star Trek was a global phenomenon. If he drove around with Spock ears today people would probably think he is just a Spock look alike going to perform at a birthday party. Ahh, what a difference a couple decades and thousands of rabid fans can do.

While it was interesting to hear him speak, but it wasn’t really exciting. Kind of like how I imagine Capt. Kirk must have felt when ever Spock was droning on about flux capacitors or dilithim crystals or some logical crap. After he got done we walked around a bit more. We’d already seen tons of Stormtroopers, a couple Red Sonija’s, a Superman, a Spiderman, a few Robocops, etc. and we had grown pretty bored with it all. We decided that for some reason it would be cool to find the service elevator and ride to the top floor. Really we just wanted to make out in the elevator and we figured that there would be less Sand People in the service elevator (Star Wars reference for all of you fans). We find the service elevator and ride to the top. Of course service elavators are boring so we natrually start making out (our plan all along anyway if you remember). When we reach the top floor the doors open and to our suprise there stands Mr. Nimoy and a couple other guys (obviously his body guards). He clears his throat which brings us out of the passionate embrace and into reality. We break apart from each other and stand there for a minute. Joey straightens her shirt and smiles that big grin of hers and asks, “going down?”

Spock and his body guards look at us. I could tell they were wondering if we were there with the convention or just two kids making out in an elevator. Since Joey wasn’t dressed like Wonder Woman and I wasn’t a Jedi Knight he probably figured the latter. After a moment he gives a nod and says something like “its ok guys” and gets on the elevator. We start heading down and a few seconds pass.

Joey: “Hey aren’t you the guy we say talking earlier about the whale movie and the twins?”

You see, Joey was never shy and she had no filter. She was kind of a stereotypical bubbly blonde. She wasn’t dumb, but her outgoing personality and her ear to ear grin made her appear like an airhead. Anyway, Spock turns around and says in his deep voice:

Nimoy: “Yes I am…are you enjoying the convention?”

Before I could intervene, Joey chimes in with:

Joey: “Oh, I’m not a Sci-fi geek, my boyfriend got some free tickets so we figured we’d come check it out. You know you look a lot like the guy who plays Spock only older.”

Nimoy (smiles): “I get that a lot.”

So we ride all the way down to the parking garage with Commander Spock and his two red shirt tough guys (a geek Star Trek reference for ya). There was some small talk made between Mr. Nimoy and his dudes. Joey probably asked some crazy questions or said some other weird stuff. That was kind of her thing talking to people like they had been friends forever. People didn’t seem to mind much because she was cute and seemed harmless. I on the other hand rode in utter silence. I coun’t think of a single cool thing to say. Looking back I wish I would have taken the opportunity to ask him a question or at least told him my name. Of course this was waaaay before cellphones and thus I wasn’t able to get the cheezy cellphone camera pic of me and Spock in a service elevator. I didn’t even bring a camera to the convention so photographic evidence of this whole transaction does not exist. That is a shame because nothing would be better than a picture of me, and Joey with a freaked out Lenord Nimoy. The elevator stops at the parking garage and the door opens. The body guards step out and Mr. Nimoy follows. As he is exiting the elevator he turns back and looks at me and Joey.

Nimoy: “Nice to meet you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the convention.”

He gives us a wink and then walks on. The doors close and immediatly Joey jumps on me and starts back into our makeout section like nothing happened. On the way home I explained to her who the guy was and his significance to the Sci-Fi community and she just giggles. She probably knew the whole time who he was. That’s typcial Joey. She liked to play into the dumb blond sterotype. I think it was fun for her.

So that’s how I met Lenord Nimoy.

Note: don’t turn down a chance to doing something out of the ordinary. You’ll never know who you’ll meet. Also, young chicks like to make out in adventurous places like elevators. Also also, always have a camera on you if you go to a Sci-Fi convention. You may not get trapped in an elevator with a famous alien, but you may never get another chance to take a picture of Darth Vader standing next to a Starfleet Officer again in your entire life.
