• VioLenT BoB sent us an ICQ, and Weezerd spotted this post from Kevin on the web board, who said this :

Sources say that the lovely Ms. Hayek will be playing the part of Serendipity, but that’s really all we know since we’ve been refusing to read the script. Funny, I was just watching “Desperado” on HBO the other night and wondering what she was up to. Anyway, sounds like another big win for Dogma. The cast is really shaping up to be an excellent ensemble.

• There’s been a lot of speculation and intrest in the upcoming event (naturally), so Kevin also said this :

Since we sort of agree that “The Gala” isn’t a really snappy title for this thing, maybe we should come up with some ideas. Send us your suggestions and we’ll post them up here. Perhaps we can get some important folks to take notice and help out a bit. View Askew WinterFest 98? I dunno, there’s gotta be some good ideas out there.

By the way, assuming we’ll be amongst the 260 that get tix (we sure hope so, anyway), we plan to give you full coverage right here on News Askew. If anyone’s crazy enough to loan us a digital camera for the event, we’d certainly be in debt, since we never seem to have the equipment to cover these things properly. Never fear, though, for those of you that can’t make it, we’ll have all the info for ya right here as usual!

• We’re very pleased to report that we’ve found a new home on the web and are in the process of setting a “clone” of News Askew/Drinks Askew up there as we speak! We hope to announce our new provider and our new address TOMORROW, so stay tuned and be ready to update those bookmarks! This page will remain, though we’re not sure for how long, with a forwarding address to take you to the new site. Thanks again to all of you who offered to help. You’ll be hearing from us!

PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW E-MAIL ADDRESSES! Most of you have been sending your mail and scoops Brad’s way, and that address is now brad@newsaskew.com. Chris’ new address is chris@newsaskew.com. Please start sending your mail to these new addresses. All links on the site (old and new) have been updated as well. Moving to a new provider sure is a pain in the ass, but it’ll all be worth it once we get through all this paperwork. Sorry for the mess!
