NewsAskew On Location

(Story Sent In By : Jason Evans)

Just got back home in Rochester, NY after an exciting trip to the Garden State, and just wanted to send some of my pics over to you.

Mostly your standard pics of me with Kevin, Jen, Jeff Anderson, etc... mixed in with some shots of my roomate and I, with 'thon goers we had just met and hung around with over the weekend. We went to RST, and signed up for memberships (no Navy Seals though) hehe. The signs on their "porn door" were pretty funny. Of course shots at the Stash, the Victory Park swingsets, the outside of Quick Stop, the theater, and Memory Lanes.

The BEST (and probably only unique) shots we got were at a random bar down the street from RST and Quick Stop. The group of eleven of us went in. Two of the girls from Chicago had stopped in for a drink last year, and wanted to stop again. We were just having a good time talking to the Bartender about why we were there... she was really super nice.

Anyhow to make a long story longer... This guy walks in... and the bartender says "Oh, there's Stanley" He knows all about the movies... He was in them. Yes that's right... it was none other than Dr. Jones himself... number 812, Wynarski... How cool is that?? He was almost as excited as we were. VERY VERY nice guy. He took pics with all of us, told us stories about making Clerks, and A Better Place... and even offered to send us copies of his keys :) We tried to get him to go to the afterparty at Memory Lanes or the thon itself... but he said it had been a year or so since he had talked to Kevin, and he didn't just want to show up :(

Anyhow... The pics probably speak for themselves... So I'll shut up :) All in all I went home with what seemed like 900 new friends, and some great great memories. I thought last year couldn't be beat... but I think this one did it.

Thanks a bunch for keeping me up to date with all the info I needed. See ya next year!
