In the UK I doubt Kevin would ever be able to make a College talk !
so yeah get on with it and bring out a DVD make it Uncut and double layer and fill it right up !
The Q+A sessions @ V2k were very interesting !

: As I mentioned below, I've got at least four (possibly five) college gigs
: coming up between Oct. 1st and mid-December. Usually, this wouldn't be
: news. I only bring it up now because there's something kind of cool going
: on with the college gigs this year.
: After the success of 'Dogma' on DVD (we moved eight hundred thousand of the
: bare bones version and over two hundred and fifty thousand of the Special
: Edition), Mike Stratford of Columbia TriStar (they who released 'Dogma' on
: home video) suggested shooting all my college gigs this fall and putting
: out a DVD - something along the lines of "An Evening With Kevin Smith" or
: "Silent Bob Speaks". Mike had attended the sold-out Q&A I did at the
: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences last year, and thought a taped
: version of the event could find an audience. I dug the idea, so we're
: moving forward with it.
: JM Kenny (he of the 'Rats' and 'Dogma' DVD's fame) is directing. At each
: school, there will be three to four cameras rolling - two on me and two on
: the folks asking questions. So if you're in the area of any of the
: forthcoming college appearances, come armed with great questions, and you
: may find yourself immortalized on home video.
: Col/Tri is looking for a spring release of the DVD.
