Christmas Comes Early For Those Without Tickets…

November 5th @ 7:00 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith

  • Kevin has confirmed that there will indeed be a second Vulgarthon day on Tuesday, January 8th. This program will be the same flicks, Q&A, etc as the Monday program, so there’s really no need to attend both days – Like Kevin says, if you already have tix, at least let folks who didn’t get them have first dibs. Here’s Kevin with the official announcement:
Alright – it’s official.

There WILL be a Day 2 added to Vulgarthon.

Tickets go on sale THIS SATURDAY, November 10th, starting at noon.

If anyone from Day 1 is considering attending (God knoweth why), please be considerate and let folks who DIDN’T score tickets the first time around order from twelve ’til two. I doubt Day 2 will sell out as quickly (if at all), so this shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Best of luck, all. And congrats.

  • Jason Lee has been frequenting the WWWBoard lately, and thus has dropped a lot of info on his upcoming projects, favorite actors, and musical tastes. Lee has revealed he’ll reunite with “Mumford” director Lawrence Kasdan to work on the new big screen Stephen King story, “Dreamcatcher”. Sounds like a very cool project.

If you’d like the chance to ask Jason some questions, or just check out what he’s been chatting about, be sure to surf over to the View Askew WWWBoard for all the details.

Details On Possible Second Day Of Vulgarthon…

November 5th @ 3:00 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith

  • It seems like there’s a lot of posts from folks begging for a second day of Vulgarthon, giving those that didn’t get tix for the Monday show a chance to catch the same program on Tuesday. Kevin’s still working on setting this up, and nothing is definite yet. He does have an update on what’s happened so far, here’s what’s up:
Oh boy…

Still trying to figure out if we can secure the theater. Might not be a big deal, but who knows?

If we were to do this second day, tickets would go on sale next Saturday, same time (noon, east coast).

We’ll try to figure out how to give folks without tickets preference, but I doubt double-dipping is going to be much of a problem, as most folks won’t want to shell out to sit through the same program twice, two days in a row.

So rest easy, folks. If there IS going to be a Day 2, you have a week to prepare for it. I don’t think it’s going to be as hard to get tickets for Day 2 (i.e. – we won’t be selling out in two hours and fifteen minutes again).

The other thing to think about is providing something to do post-show on Monday, as many more folks are going to be in town. We’ll be working on that as well.

Would anyone be into some kinda live music shindig?

Keep in mind, this would all be going down at about midnight or one in the morning.

We’ll let you know as soon as something’s been decided. As always, feel free to show support for the second event and express your thoughts on an evening concert, etc. at the View Askew WWWBoard. Like Kevin says, the show would be LATE at night, as the thon runs usually around 12 hours, so a lot of you might just be ready to head back to your hotels (or home) and pass out. It’s your call!

  • It wasn’t Vincent Guastini on Conan last week, but one of his assistants. Here’s Vinny with the details:
The person in question was Louie Zakarian who was my Assistant on Dogma and one of the coordinators with Joe Macchia on Dogma.

Louie sculpted a correction of a life cast of Ben Affleck they were doing a sequence on him for Conan he mentioned his credits one of them being Dogma and they showed a clip the clip was not cleared through me or was it asked if it could be ok to show it,, I’m sure NBC got clearance of the clip, Just to put the record straight the execution and design of the over all effect was conceived by me, and the technicians who carried the effect out was done BY Louie who corrected the head in clay, the head was then made in Wax and run by Joe Mecchia, he made many of the heads, and did all the hair work, also all the heads were painted by myself, as well as the animatronics of it, the Pyro or explosion was done by Charlie Belardinelli. No big deal just in case anybody wanted the full details.

  • In a “hot gifts” section of last week’s Entertainment Weekly, Jay and Bob are mentioned while describing how the Cast Away Wilson Volley ball is perfect for “The Silent Bob to your Raving Jay”.
