After ‘Thon Party With Merrick, Bowling & More!

November 8th @ 4:40 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith

  • Great, great news from Kevin that we kept forgetting to post – There will indeed be an after-party (or a pre-party, depening on your Vulgarthon attendance) at a bowling alley in Red Bank, NJ. The band Merrick will be rocking the joint along with bowling, beer, and pizza! It sounds like a blast, in fact, we’ll likely hafta show up for this one and sacrifice some sleep before returning to work Tuesday. Here’s Kevin with the good news:
The Monday Night After-Thon Show…

…will be held in a bowling alley.

That’s right – Memory Lanes in Red Bank (just a few blocks from the theater, though not really a “walk”) is playing host to the after-gig, as they’re about the only place large enough to fit you lot, that’ll also serve booze (for you drinkers) and pizza (real pizzeria pizza from real pizza ovens) until 2:00am.

The Memory Lanes folks will be shutting the place down for everyone but ‘Thon-goers (from either night), and this most excellent band Merrick will be providing the music (I’ve been to a few of their shows, and they’re the proverbial “bomb”). I don’t think there’s a cover charge, but Pizza and booze will cost you (you must be 21 or older to drink, of course). After Merrick’s set, the lanes will be open for bowling (how fucking cool is that?).

Len, if you could map out some directions for folks, that’d be helpful.

Everyone happy?

Jay & Bob Video/DVD Release CONFIRMED!

  • Disney has officially confirmed that “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” is set for a video/DVD release on February 12, 2002. We’ve got no details yet, of course, and aren’t sure if the flick’s DVD again will be a slimmed down version in lieu of a large SE later in the year. We haven’t heard many details on the disc yet, which tells us that the DVD in February will probably be a movie only deal, as there’s bound to be a TON of work to do on the disc, including commentaries, that famous documentary, deleted scenes, and lots more. It’s bound to be the best disc yet in the View Askew library. We’ll keep digging for more details on this breaking story as the days go on. Stay tuned.

  • We’ve been receiving many details on the recent J&SBSB preview in Australia. Word has it that audiences there loved the screening, and that a Buena Vista rep there declared it “such a fun film” that they had to keep the screening scheduled despite the delayed release. The flick is still scheduled for February 2002, but there’s a rumor that the film MAY get pushed up a month to a JANUARY release, according to an unnamed source that attended a press screening. We’ll keep you posted on that one.
  • The Billy The Stick comic this month is a tribute to Clerks and View Askew. The simple comic features a black stick that comments on things.
  • And finally today, this story might remind some of you of a female customer from Clerks…Scary stuff. Enjoy.
