[Dude in Hammock]

Hi all. I wonder if anyone can refresh my memory about an episode I remember vaguely that I'd like to reference in a book I'm writing. I recall Spock, Kirk, and Bones being in some Old West town where everyone is extremely friendly to them and keeps mentioning some festival that'll be happening soon. Turns out, the festival involves everyone going nuts and doing all the stuff they'd never dare to do normally: fighting, drinking, screwing each other's wives, etc. Ring any bells?

If so, could you let me know at nutspert@yahoo.com? Many thanks.

You nailed it. Thanks.

And it wasn't Old West so much as 19th-century New England or the like, I'd say.

Must've been the same mistake Sulu's dresser made.
