Boston Mayor Tom Menino made it so today.
He tied it to the day of New England Fan Experience convention (see details here), which Leonard himself will attend on November 14th! Along with "Q" John De Lancie, Gareth David-Lloyd from Torchwood and other fine people.
According to this convention schedule, Nimoy will be having photo-ops from 11:30, autograph signing from 1-4PM, and then will hold Q&A panel from 5-6PM.
And I may not be able to go as I've only heard about this today... But maybe other people from Boston can? Maybe we can try to meet and go there?
Leonard Nimoy is in town, and on his day, come on, we should make it happen!
And maybe we can celebrate this event here, in this community tomorrow? We can start with this. :)
UPD: Nimoy also gave an interview to Boston Phoenix, and it appeared under a very appropriate title "Hot Vulcan". :)
He speaks about Three Men and a Baby, politics in Star Trek, Ballad of Bilbo Baggins and Barack Obama. Great piece!
