Sunday

It all started early Sunday morning at my friend Mike's house. We woke up around 8 and got our stuff together for the trip. After bullshitting around watching for any accidents on tv that might affect our route we headed out. First we got Mike's car washed cause needless to say, it was covered in bird shit. Then we ran over to McDonalds for some breakfast. I orded the Big breakfast platter and didn't get any hotcakes, SO FUCK MCDONALDS!

Anyway, we had a pretty easy time driving up to New Jersey from Maryland (east coast) until we turned onto route 9. For some assanine reason we forgot to be in the left lane to make a exit and we totally missed it. It wasn't until Mike realized we were in Asbury Park that we weren't going the right way. So we backtracked and made it ok the rest of the way. We got into Red Bank and headed for the Stash. Picked up the tickets and got directions to the Holiday Inn from Vincent being the smart person I was I lost them. We never found the Holiday Inn so we ended up staying at the Motor Lodge hotel. Which wasn't that bad, but I did miss all the fan-made videos sunday night at the Inn. I got over it shortly due to the fact that we had access to the spice channel. HELL YEAH.

Monday

Woke up around 8:30 and took showers. Got some grub and headed to the theatre. While waiting in line I met Hal Phillips(Drunken Uncle Hal) who seemed to know everything that was going down at the thon. I didn't really bone up on information before I left so I felt glad. I also chatted with a Kevin Smith look-a-like (there was a million of them I know) for a while. Never caught his name. I met Glen for the first time who I chatted with shortly due to the fact he had to go find a toilet. I finally go to the entrance and got my pic with Kevin. As did Mike. We went inside and got some food. Found some open seats and waited for the thon to begin. Sitting with me was Hal, in front of me Jennifer_Ann_7 and her friend and Mike next to me. Kevin gave us a little intro with his thoughts and bringing down Jeff, Bryan, Walt, ect.

It finally began with Vulgar. Bryan Johnson's flick starring Brian O'Halloran. My take on the movie was that don't ever watch it while eating Kit Kat Bites. I felt like throwing up when the clown was raped. If I've spoiled this for anyone, MY BAD. Other than that, I thought the movie was great. Then was the famous Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back movie. Which I can't get bored watching over and over again. The deleted scenes and outtakes were funny as shit. And if you think about it, shit can be quite funny. Scott Moiser even made a appearence during the Q&A. The Dogma Commentary played next but I didn't stick around for it. I went to Starbucks with Hal, then me and Mike went over to the Stash. Picked up some comics, t-shirts, met Walt and then went to this deli. I totally forgot the name of the place (chicken grill blah blah) but the subs were fucking huge. Went back to the thon and still had 1/2 left until the break was over. I met some cats who posted on the board and some of the actors which I got my pictures with.

Just to name a few: Andy(Choo Choo Andeee), Brian Lynch, Jeff Anderson, Chris Revier, Bryan Johnson, Brian O'Halloran, Glen(once again) and Rev. Johnny Fabulous.

Now you Know played next and was probably my favorite out of all the films shown. I laughed the most I've ever laughed in my life (except the time Andy told the 7-11 clerk he saved his life from not selling him cigarettes). Good luck with the film Jeff. BHD was next and I must say I was confused, scared, and felt violated after watching this flick. When some of my friends asked me what it was about I shuddered and my eye started twitching. I still can't get over that poor cat. It was a funny ass flick none the less. Well done Lynch.

The bowling alley afterparty was kinda dull for me due to the fact I'm a minor and everyone was drinking beer. So I had to deal with Snapple. But the band was great and met a few more people. Duffless, Ming, BoBarly(Carly) and her friend Susan, TarrikDane, and Misanthrope. Most of the party for me consumed of having a cigarette smoking contest with Glen and the Rev, playing the X-men vs. Street Fighter game, and hitting on the 16-year old who was handing out the flyers for the band. Talked to Revier alot and Andy about his wacky pants. Afterwards Mike and me headed back to the hotel and started having car problems. We left it alone and went back to the hotel.

Tuesday

Went to Quickstop and RST. Waited 2 hours for the fucking video store to open so I could buy Howard the Duck on VHS. What a guy will do for a video eh? Got lost in Leonardo for a hour but rebounded.

Wednesday

Apparently we had scraped the bottom of the car on the driveway while pulling in so we could kinda tell from the weird noises coming from the car we had did something really bad to the car. We spent most of the day waiting for it to get fixed at a Exxon tune-up shop. Hanged out at this pizza parlor which had a really hot asian chick working the counter. Anyway we finally headed home and got lost some more but we ended up getting home at 10 PM.

And so concludes my V3 story. Peace.
