• Well, after a week of fun in the sun on our respective vacations, we’re both back here in Wintersylvania, and it feels COLDER than ever. A fine time was had by all, met some great people, hit Clearwater Beach and soaked up some sun, drank way too much alcohol in and around the Tampa party scene, you know…The usual stuff that should be done on a vacation. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks to all who asked about our vacations. Chris tells me he finally got to ride the Spiderman ride at Universal Studios (which has gotta be the coolest ride in the world right now). Oh, and by the way, Chris turned the big 3-0 yesterday, so be sure and send the dude a birthday wish, it’s gotta be rough saying goodbye to your 20’s (not gonna be any fun when I do it in 3 months either). Can you say “Vacation #2?”. I knew that ya could. Fred Rogers, you will be missed.

Anyway, feel free to resume using the ‘ol SCOOPS address when sending stuff in, and watch for updates to go back to a more even pace now that life’s getting back to normal. Bleh. At least summer’s only a few months away here. Got some great news for ya today, so let’s get movin’!

• Yes, you read it right. Write it down, spell it out – F-R-E-E! Kevin’s coming to the University of Minnesota, and we’ve just been told that Q&A is now FREE and on a first-come, first-served basis for seating. Everyone STILL needs a U of M ID card to get in, so unless you’ve got a friend that looks a lot like you and isn’t attending, it’s still gonna be tough time for a non-student. Expect a big line, as we’re sure they’re gonna start showing up early. Don’t miss it, though, as you saw on the “Evening” DVD, it’s a fantastic time.

• “Drop Dead Roses” (starring Brian O’Halloran for those of you unfamilar with the flick) will screen at the New York Independent Film & Video Festival on Friday, April 4th at 6:10 PM, Village East Cinemas, Screen 6. The cinema only has 168 seats, so it’ll be a nice, intimate showing. We know director Jessica Hudson will be in attendance, and also believe Brian and the cast will also be hanging out for the showing. I’m even trying to swing a way to get up there to finally screen the flick (mostly because I think Jessica will kill me if I miss it AGAIN!). For more information on the movie, check out Dark Features, and for tickets and festival info, hit the Festival Site. Tickets are $10.
• Jay & Silent Bob show up in the most recent edition of web comic “It’s All Been Done”. Check out the final frame.
• The Varsity Theater on Lincoln Way (Ames, Iowa) is going to be having a special Midnight Showing of Clerks on Friday March 28th and Saturday March 29th. Go jump in line that weekend and check it out on the big screen!
• An absolutely beautifully framed, and incredibly rare Daredevil cover from Kevin’s run is on sale at eBay. It’s the one-of-a-kind, signed, cover from Guardian Devil #4. Too rich for these two webmasters, but if you’ve got the scratch, it’d sure look cool on your wall.
• The Syracuse NewTimes make a few mentions of Kevin in their Daredevil review (including “Mutants, Monsters and Marvels” among other things). Here’s the portion that deals specifically with Kev:

• And finally today, Jay Mewes: Rock singer? Apparently, he’s been spotted practicing with a Rhode Island ‘hardcore punk/emo/rock/metal’ band called Transparent. Check out Jay on thier Pictures page.
