Thanks, Kevin! Last night was truly a memorable experience, worth every penny (as a 1970 KSU graduate, I don't get the student rate anymore) and,
more importantly when you get to be my age, worth every minute.

The night worked on so many levels. As a fan, there's nothing I like better than learning new things about flicks I treasure, and gaining insights into the people who crafted them. All the background about you and your cohorts and the films help me to appreciate the films even more.
:
The stories were awesome, too. It's too bad you can't get about 3 of the 5 hours onto a DVD. I'd pay $20 for a DVD of the Prince story alone.
:
Then there was the way you graciously handled all comers, including the most clueless, the self-important, and those with agendas of their own. :
Finally, the audience itself was a revelation. There was remarkably little chaff in the evening, because the room was packed with true Kevin Smith fans smart enough to ask the questions that other fans wanted answered. It was fun watching the earnestness of the college kids. I'd forgotten what it was like to be 21 and the center of the Universe.

Anyway, I wanted to speak up on behalf those of us in the non-college crowd who came, saw, and concurred.
