: i was just tellin people lastnight that i wanna see u on madtv, the force runs strong in my family, you have the capabilities, maybe someday you will learn. : : And, no: none of this includes the Big News. : : - Col/Tristar and I are making "An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder." Plans now : : include a possible taping at the U of Berkeley show, coming up in April, as well as the : : Wizard Con L.A. (well, Long Beach, really) March 20th. We'll be adding two more locations/ : : schools soon, including a possible Toronto taping. If anyone goes to a college that'd like to : : host a Q&A and be featured in the program, give Auburn Moon a shout. : : - Just taped another episode of "Dinner for Five" the other night. Aside from Favs, it was : : me, Carlin, Stephen Root, and Jason Biggs (Affleck was out of the country, doing "Paycheck" : : press). Fun stuff. : : - We've narrowed the Secret Stash West down to one store in Westwood. Offer went in on : : Friday. I'll let you know what happens. Plans are to open in May/June with another Stash : : Bash. Might try to tie that in with a Vulgarthon as well, being that there's a pretty good : : theater right around the block from the potential Stash. : : - After the "Dogma" Inaction Figures, "Strike Back" is next. Have seen the designs on the : : potential figs, and they're pretty fucking cool. Maybe I'll post 'em. Next up is either "Amy" : : or "The Cartoon" line (which would feature Leonardo Leonardo, Mr. Plug, and Bear Who : : Drives Car). : : - Looks like I'm doing a MadTV taping in February for a March airing. : : - The 3D VA logo for the opening of "Jersey Girl" is coming along nicely. Chris Bailey is a : : mad genius. : : - We're locked and loaded on "Jersey Girl." The junket is in NYC the weekend of March 5th : : (which was why I had to drop out of the Orlando MegaCon), and the premiere is in NYC on : : March 9th, I'm hearing. There'll be a Paulsboro screening around that time as well, and a : : benefit screening for the Kenny Gordon Foundation too (Exec Producer Jon Gordon's : : memorial to his brother). The following week, I think I'm headed down to Texas for a "JG" : : screening to benefit the Austin Film Society. We did one for "Strike Back" before it came out : : and it was a great screening/Q&A. Not sure about a board screening yet, but the Kenny : : Gordon screening will be open to the public, with the cast in attendance. : : - The week of the opening is shaping up to be "Jersey Girl" week on "The Tonight Show." : : Carlin's already booked for the 17th. I'll be on that week, and Ben as well, I'd imagine. Liv : : and Raquel too. : : - John Pierson's "Spike, Mike, Slackers, and Dykes" is getting a re-release, under the new : : title "Spike, Mike Reloaded." I penned a new intro for it, as well as did another dialogue with : : John to update all that's happened in Indie film since '96. Check it out when it hits stands in : : a few weeks. : : - The "Clerks X" DVD is coming along nicely. A new addition: the guys at Powerhouse : : Animation are bringing "The Lost Scene" to life in the cartoon style. Hopefully, we'll be : : recording the dialogue with Brian, Jeff, and Joey next week. If you've never read the story : : (and shame on you if you haven't) it's still available at the Online Stash, I believe. : : - Speaking of the Online Stash, Pt 1: some keen eyes have noticed their stuff's been : : shipping from Florida. That's because we've moved the merch down there. After five years, : : Bryan opted out of running the merch department to concentrate on his next film, so I : : turned it over to my brother and his man Jerry down in Florida. As my Mom lives near them, : : she's been working it too. So if you find some hand-written notes in your packages, that's : : my Mom's doing (she used to do the same thing with my lunches when I was in grade : : school). It's become a real family affair. : : - Speaking of the Online Stash, Pt. 2: that "Dueling Personas of Kevin Smith" book is a great : : read. If you're even remotely interested in an academic take on me and the movies, pick it : : up. You guys figure prominently in it. : : - And aside from the fact that I'm nursing a nasty little hemorrhoid at the moment, that's : : about all that's going on. : :
