• Get your Vulgar DVDs everywhere TOMORROW — Or, better yet, if you haven’t already, get that order in with the Stash, as director Bryan Johnson will personally caress and sign your Vulgar disc for ya.

• Tomorrow night at 9 PM, VH-1 is airing “Remembering the Concert For NYC” from last year where Kevin did his “Why I Love New %*&!# York” short film.

• On last Thursday’s episode of Comedy Central’s Beat the Geeks, the movie geek was asked what three movies John Hughes directed featured Anthony Michael Hall and what was the fictional town. The movie geek responded with the correct answer, but threw a shout out to Jay and Bob for trying to corner the dope market in that fictional town of Shermer, Illinois.
• Two new DVD reviews are now online for Jay & Bob and the Stan Lee disc are now up at DVD Launch. They’ve got a Vulgar review on the way as well.
