• Hi there folks, we’re back again after the busy weekend – No day off due to the Veterans Day holiday here! Sounds like a lot of you spent your Saturday dialing the View Askew offices, as day two of those Vulgarthon tickets sold out just about as fast as day one. Wow. Certainly a TON of demand for these events. We’ll be gearing up coverage for those events in the coming weeks, and hope to run a few events of our own as we lead into the big show. News on other stuff has been coming in much smaller doses, with the bulk of it focusing on Jay & Bob’s overseas release, especially in the UK. Look for more news on that below.

A couple of unrelated requests – First of all, I’m thinking of switching from a DSL to a cable line here for internet access, but I’m concerned about losing newsgroups. If anyone here has access to one of those top secret, fast and FREE binary news servers, drop me a line. I know there’s some you can pay for as well but if I have to do that, I’ll likely stick with the slower DSL line.

And finally, if the guy I talked to a while back who works for the Hoyts theaters is reading this, drop me a line. Alright, let’s see what’s going on today:

• We have just received a report that Kevin has added an appearance scheduled for Tuesday, November 27th, at Syracuse University. We are working to confirm this and find more details as we speak. Watch for more news on that soon.

• More UK press! These scans come from Empire Magazine’s December issue. The magazine gives the flick a mixed, mostly positive review, and ran a huge multi-page piece on the film itself. Way too much to key in here, but we’ve got the scans, so be sure and click them if you’d like to read the article and check out the layout, sidebars, etc. Enjoy.
• The latest Previews includes that new C.L.I.T. shirt and some other new items from View Askew and Graphitti:

• The “Cathlolicism Wow” White T-shirt
• A “Sunday Yeah” black T-shirt
• A special issue called “Wizard Edge”, which will feature Jay & Bob on the cover

We’ll snag some photo scans of this stuff for you ASAP.

• Jay & Silent Bob has been officially pushed back to a March 2002 release in New Zealand. The flick had been set for release this Friday. This mirrors the unfortunate Australia delays.
• And finally today, we’ve been receiving many reports of the View Askew spottings in “Shallow Hal”, which hit theaters this weekend. During the closing credits, there’s a shot of a dude with REALLY big hair wearing a View Askew t-shirt. Jack Black’s character also refers to a couple of characters in the film as “Mallrats”.
