Vulgarthon Day 2 Sells Out in 3 Hours…

November 11th @ 10:23 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith

  • It’s been a busy weekend, so there hasn’t been a lot of time to drop in here with an update, but we assume that those of you who knew about the event tried to get tickets, and hope that most of you got in. That’s right, the 2nd day of Vulgarthon sold out handily, in just a slight bit longer time period than the first. Congrats to all that got tickets, and we hope everyone’s got their rooms lined up and plans for a fantastic time. We’re going to be on hand for just the first day’s events, but look forward to seeing you there, at the inevitable hotel party, and the bowling post party. Here’s Kevin’s message announcing the sellout, and an exciting hint of what’s to come at the events:
Cease your incessant dialing. All tickets are now accounted for.

It’s gonna be a helluva pair of days. Wait ’til you see what we’ve got planned…

If you are interested in trading your tix or selling them, for example, so you can share a day with a bunch of your friends, be sure and read this VERY IMPORTANT POST from Vincent. He’ll tell ya how to get it done.

Villanova Ticket Information!

  • A Villanova student managed to get to us with this information on Kevin’s upcoming appearance at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, which we believe to be his last Q&A of the year. We also hope to attend this show as well. If you’d like to attend, here’s some details, though it looks like (so far) the event is reserved for students only, unless you can pull some strings with the ticket folks:
Tickets go on sale on November 12th (for students only, as far as I know), and cost $12 a piece. Other pieces of news: The show was originally planned to take place in the Villanova Room (a convention- style room), but will likely be moved to The Pavilion, the college’s indoor stadium, which holds about 2500 people for events like this.

Also of note: this is still tentative, but the college is planning to screen Kevin’s movies during the week before he comes (all except for “Dogma”, of course – the priests that run the school wouldn’t look too kindly on it, unfortunately.) 🙂

The info comes from the school newspaper (http://www.villanovan.com), and from the Campus Activities Team that runs everything here. Hope the information’s helpful!

If those priests would object to Dogma, we’re wondering what they’ll do if they’re in attendance when Kevin speaks! Should be interesting…

  • The new issue of IFCrant, the Independent Film Channel magazine, features a small article called ‘When Harry Met Indie’ detailing author Erika Youngs’ thoughts on Indie directors taking a shot at Harry Potter. Here’s the portion you might find enjoyable:
Kevin Smith returns with “Harry Potter in NJ’:

“Yo yo yo, muthaf——-!” “Convenience-cottage” clerk life in Red Hogs-Bank, New Jersey, is filled with the steady hum of microwaving Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Bean Burritos and the continued pilfering of packs of Kools under the eye of surveillance owls. Harry and his pals Silent Ron and “Jay” Hermione Granger spend their days discussing the nastiest things one can do with a stick of Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum and a pumpkin pasty.

  • More UK Press: Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was voted movie of the month by this month’s Maxim UK. The trailer for the flick can also be found on the CD inside UK Playstation 2 magazine PSW.
