Guest Report By BankyEd

Brad and Chris,

Well, what can I say, I had a blast. My friend Tom and I drove down from Warren, a short forty five minute drive. We get to the stash a little after one. We are greeted by the very amiable (sp?) Jennifer. I was blown away the moment I walked into the store. It was an askwers dream come to life. The was were lined with stuff from all the movies, including Dogma. Tom and I laughed for so long after we saw the Jesus statue in the back of the store. I only wish I was able to get a picture of it. About the picture talking, Kevin wasn't so strict about the no camera rules. I was able to get two great pics with him and another with Jimmy and Joe, who were two of the friendiest guys I've ever met. Forty minutes and 70 dollars later, we saw the preview of dogma, clerks, and vulgar. Everyone laughed as the tagline for Vulgar flashed on the screen. After the previews, I got to chat a little more with everyone there. Shortly before we lef to take the tour, Rick Derris himself showed up, which was a pleasant surprise. So we went onto the bus, surprised to see that both Brian and Jay were going to give the tour. Right after the bus took off, Jay fell asleep, not waking until after the bus stopped. Brian had such a great sense of humor. He was periodically ripping into the New Yorkers who sat in the back of the bus. Brian told us about how Kevin and Bry weren't much help on the dry run of the tour, mainly just pointing out the house where a girl used to live that kevin used to fuck. He also spoke in great depth about what it was like while filming Clerks. We really got to know a lot more from him than from anywhere else, such as the laserdisc commentary. When we arrived at Quick Stop, we saw that it hadn't changed a bit from when Kevin filmed there. His TV was still there. We made our way over to RST, where we were able to see the great sign Kevin made for the porn room. Overall, everything was great. I would go into more detail, but I bet others will be telling the same story, so I'll save it for them. I'll get out a few pics when I get a chance to scan them. I want to thank Kevin, Brian, Jimmy, Joe, Jennifer, Walt, Bry, and Jay for the great time. They out did themselves. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you guys, but there will be other occasions.
