Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash
- 35 Broad St.
Jay & Silent Bob's Video Stash:
This MTV special was filmed right inside the Stash!
The Stash is definitely a must for anyone on a ViewAskew tour of
Red Bank. This is where you can buy all that cool swag you see on the website and in
the flicks! Some of the stuff you can buy here is already signed by Kevin or
Jay. Plus, you never know who's gonna be down here working the register, signing
autographs, or just hanging out in the joint.
The original Stash was created after Kevin heard that the local
comic book shop was closing down. He bought out the shop, including all of it's
inventory, and re-opened it as Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash. He also added a
few choice items to the menu: swag from his films! What started out as a local
comic shop and outlet for Clerks T-shirts and Mallrats posters quickly became a
merchandising empire! The Stash churns out some unbelievable sales figures through
the store itself and through mail and fax orders. The Stash has also employed some
of the actors from the flicks, like Walt
"Fan-Boy" Flanagan, Bryan
"Steve-Dave" Johnson, and even the Lord of Snoogans himself, Jay Mewes! Brian Quinn was hired to run the Stash's
day-to-day office operations after his stunt
at the Staten Island Mall proved that he was the hardest of hardcore ViewAskew
fans. Since Brian's
departure from ViewAskew in December of '98, Bryan has taken over the helm at
the office. Walt is now the full-time manager of the store itself, so chances are
he'll be there if you stop by.

ViewAskew Offices - 3 Harding Rd.
The office itself is NOT a place where you can just
visit uninvited, so unless they are expecting you, don't even try. There are
security guards in the building and they take no prisoners! But nothing can stop you
from hanging around outside. There used to be a large logo in the window of the old
office, but since the move there's been nothing to take pictures of. But, you might
be lucky enough to spot someone from the staff walking in or out, maybe even the big guy
himself!
