- Well, the time has come again, and we’re about to make the trek into Red Bank, NJ for what promises to be another big historical View Askew event – Vulgarthon 2002! There’s some nasty weather on the way here in the northeast, a rain/snow mix, so hopefully the drive in will be a safe one for all of you (including us). Red Bank’s just calling for rain at this point, but it wouldn’t be surprising if things freeze a bit or we see a few flakes out there. Early reports indicate that all is well in Red Bank, and folks have already started arriving for the event.
Confirmed flicks for tomorrow are Vulgar and Big Helium Dog, we also assume Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back will screen (though we’re unsure if it’ll be the final version or something more rare). We’re also assuming there’ll be some videotaped greetings from celebs not in attendance for us to check out, probably the New York short and perhaps the new “Flying Cars” short featuring Dante & Randal (first time anywhere!). With rumors of Jeff Anderson in attendance, and O’Halloran’s excellent track record of appearing at these events, chances are we may even see a small “Clerks” reunion, so don’t rule out that one showing again either. All in all, should be another great program this year.
Check with us here at News Askew for the latest from the scene, as we’ll be checking in with updates and a lot more over the next two days. And now, a final news update before we hit the treacherous highways on our way east…
