• Thanks to all of you who wrote in on Kev’s UMASS appearance. A summary of the events, most of which we’ve repoted here at some time or another, appeared over on AICN earlier today. Dark Horizons ALSO ran a small piece. Here’s a few of the more interesting tidbits that came out of the session anyway, some that we may have referenced at one point, but it’s always nice to hear it from the man himself:

• Clerks 2 will NOT be the next movie that Kevin writes and directs. He promises that it’s nothing that can be guessed at, but has hinted that it will indeed be the flick that wraps up the Askewniverse and allows him to move on to new things filmwise.
• New stories (we haven’t heard ‘em, anyway): Something about “donkey punching” (Don’t ask us!), an anecdote about “Jay’s first time”, thoughts on the Catholic League and ABC.
• Old story: The death of the Supes Lives project (featuring Jon Peters). Seems this question ALWAYS has to come up!
• Episode 2 of Clerks TCS (The “flashback” show) was shown to the audience.
• The Dogma DVD will contain over an HOUR of unseen footage (all the stuff we caught in the workprint back in 1998, and you’re gonna LOVE it!)
• Kevin is beginning work on the Green Arrow comic.

Kevin’s a great guy to see live because he pulls no punches. He’s not afraid to talk about anything and it makes for a fantastic time. Glad to hear that a lot of you got to catch an episode of the show and enjoyed the appearance. We hear that Kevin stayed extra late again after the 3+ hour appearance to sign stuff for everyone. As always, a real class act.
