: First off, the movie was great! It was fucking hilarious and as trite as it may sound, it really made me think. I have one question. In the bar scene, did Jay and Bob do the Fat Albert song or was it cut? I started reading the script when I got home and that was the point where I got up to take a piss (sorry again to all those feet I stepped on and whosever popcorn I kicked over). Big thanks again to everybody involved. Everybody was really cool to, though I didn't really talk to anybody because I'm too much of a pussy too just walk up to sombody and just talking to them but oh well. I only had one beef the entire trip. Either New Jersians can't give directions for shit or my friend and I are the biggest directional idiots around. We made it from western PA to Tinton Falls without a single problem. Then we made the 15 minute drive to Red Bank without a hitch. But when we tried to find the Quick Stop, our problems began. Vincent gave us the written directions and told us to go past the Stash and keep going right where the road comes to a "T" and follow the written directions from there and he said that its about a 15 min drive (remember me, Vincent? I was the big goofball in the blue shirt who his picture taken with you.). Well after driving on the same road for nearly 15 min. and not seeing any of the signs or other mentioned landmarks on our direction sheet, we figured we'd better turn around before we get lost and miss the move. After the movie and a brief stop at the jam packed Downtown Cafe, the 15 min drive back to the Red Roof somehow turned into 2 hour tour of Asbury Park and Belmar. Since we left our map at the hotel, we figured we'd stop at a gas station for directions. I picked up a map and tried to show him where we needed to go. He said, "Put map away, put map away. Just go down road, get exit 105". Well that didn't work so we stopped at another gas station. There, a nice Hindu fella told us pretty much the same thing, but with a different accent. Finally we stopped at some hotel where an American gave us written directions that got us really close, but her directions really fell apart in the end. So we stopped at a Dunkin Donuts where some teenage girl told us "I don't know how to explain getting there(at least she was honest), but if you go that way, you'll see it from the road. Well, we saw nothing. Eventually though, we found the Tinton Falls exit which got us bac to the hotel just in time to get about 2 1/2 hours of sleep bfeore heading home.
