: Hello all. I live in Cape May, New Jersey. Yesterday I got off work early, like noonish, and decided to convince my friend to ride up to Red Bank with me to the Stash. We were both broke, so I put a tank of gas on my charge card and we were just gonna go check it out real quick since it was getting late. It ended up being like 4:30 when we got there and we were both expecting just to look around the store... but when we walked in the doors Kevin Smith and Jay Mewes were talking to Walt Flanagan. Now I've met some famous people that I admire before but I've never been as awestruck as I was yesterday. All I could do was wander about the store aimlessly feeling like a speechless idiot... probably looked like one too. I was just wondering, how does everyone else on the board react when they see Kevin, Jay and the viewaskew crew in person?
: I have never seen or met Kevin/or anyone from VA in person...One bit of advice in meeting any celeb/star (whatever you want to call 'em) would be not to interrupt conversation (which you didn't, good move), never interrupt people when they are eating is another. If you wanted to meet/talk to him my best suggestion in this particular case would be to just stand at a mid-distance until he would acknowledge your presence (By this I don't mean to try and stay in his "eye" view, give some space), if this didn't work you might be able to mildly call his name out as he walked away from/with Mewes/Flanagan (i.e. when they were finished with their discussion)...if he responds to this, then I would approach him. If not, well then he's obviously busy and doesn't have the time. Most of these guys set up times when they will speak to their fans, certain events, public speaking engagements. Just a suggestion, I am sure there's somebody in here with a better one who knows Kevin/Co better. Hope this helps if you don't receive anymore answers..."Fletch" PS- One more thing, nobody likes a "close talker" (See Seinfeld's episode w/ Judge Reinhold for example)
