He signs so much shit I can't believe his hands are able to write
Movies and Comics. Perhaps he had somewhere he HAD to be, but
he's not stingy with his autograph. I was at vulgarthon 2 watching
Dogma in the back, I asked him to sign a T-Shirt. After he signed it
HE SUGGESTED that he sign the Banky Hat I was holding along with
a couple other VA things I had. He is very willing to sign stuff for
ANYONE.
: Last Weekend I attended Megacon 2002 and the guest of honor was
Kevin Smith. I brought my Jay an Silent Bob #1 to have him sign it, but
when I stepped in line they said Kevin Smith requested to have the
line stopped at 100. I was like "What The Hell!!" and the people who
were monitoring the line said "Try to get in line earlier tomorrow..." I
said
: "Earlier!! They Just Opened The Fuckin' Doors!!" Then the guy told
me he understood why I was pissed, but there was nothing he could
do to. So I tryed not to be bothered because I figured he would be
there tomorrow. So me and my friend walked around trying to look for
shit to do when we saw another man sighning autographs and taking
pictures with his fans. This man's name was Andy Hallet who is a
character on the WB's Angel ((He Is A Demon With Green Skin And 2
Red Horns On His Head)) and he was signing autographs and
taking pictures like crazy and after that he talked with everybody who
went to see him. As I watched the line continue grow over 100 and
nobody was stopping it, I knew this guy was true to his fans, and he
would see everybody in the whole convention if he could. So I bought
some comics, looked around for a while, then me and my friend left.
The next day we came back to the convention super early, walked in
as soon as we were alound to be entered, but by the time we got
there I had already knew, and when I turned to my friend he knew as
well, we didn't have to even say it to each other, but there was still a
chance. So when we walked up to get in line and the same man who
was monitering the line, was there, remembered me and said sorry
but the line is already closed off. By now I was so pissed I could have
torn someone apart. I turned around and walked away to look at
some of the booths I hadn't seen the day before. So a few hours later
I was digging through some guys comic box looking for some
Hellspawn's when my friend came up to me and said "Dude you
gotta check this out" so we walked up to see Kevin Smith. When we
were in clear veiw of him we saw him talking on his cell phone the
whole time, not looking up at anyone, and not saying shit to anyone, I
didn't even see him take any pictures with anyone. From then on I
realized Kevin Smith dosen't really care what the hell goes on with his
fans, as long as he gets paid and is known. I know it doesn't mean
nothing to him but he has lost a few devoted fans, who really enjoyed
his worked untill we saw the true "Kevin Hollywood Smith." Thats my
story, I don't really give a shit who thinks I'm wrong, because I saw
alot of people who saw what I saw at the convention and feel the
same and I could care less what the people who think I'm wrong
have to say. I wrote this in hopes that Kevin Smith would some how
read this ((even though its the people who run this site reply in his
name))and maybe undestand what a DICK he is, and change his
view on how to treat his fans.
