Yes, but...
NASA has determined that on Feb 3, 2007, a miniscule black hole travelling through the outer arm of the Mikly Way Galaxy will pass through Earth. The transit time will be nearly instantaneous, and the Earth will survive the encounter. However, the local space/time fabric will be warped in such a way that that timeline for 154 days to either side of the collision will locally collapse around the singularity horizon. As a result, September 2, 2006, and July 7, 2007, will occur at the same instant. In this way, the desires of the primary participant in the referenced ceremonial event and the realities of limited options on location availability will both be satisfied.
