• We’ve got the complete details for ya on the date/place/time of Kevin’s rare appearance in Toronto, Ontario next month. We are fairly certain that the ticket price are being quoted in Canadian dollars (thus U.S. prices will be a bit lower), so be sure to ask the cost before you buy. Keep in mind prices are set by the venue, and not us. We do expect this show to sell out very quickly, so if you’re not in one of the schools listed below, we suggest that you get your tickets ASAP next Thursday. Or if you ARE in one of these schools, hurry up, as we hear they’re going like hotcakes. Here’s details:

• Kevin shows up in a few places in the March 2004 issue (Carmen Electra’s on the cover), now on newsstands everywhere. Not only do they have the full page article on Page 60, titled “A Guy and His Stuff”, AND a Jersey Girl review…but the inside back cover of the issue features your very own Kevin Smith finger puppet! Definitely an issue that you collectors will want to pick up. Enjoy, but please don’t let us know what you decide to use that finger puppet for. Scans of it all are above, and here’s a couple of the smaller tidbits:

• 
• [Pg 58 under Hype Movies] Jersey Girl-The Pitch: A successful music promoter with great hair (Affleck) meet a book editor (Lopez) at a party, and the two fall in love and have a daughter. They agree to raise her Catholic and to never, ever mention Gigli. You can’t be to careful.
• [Same page under On Set] Jersey Girl-Our nerdy roommate Travis gives you an exclusive report from the set of Kevin Smith’s latest movie. A few months after being an extra in Jersey Girl, a picture of my scene popped up on Smith’s web site. But as luck would have it, Jason Biggs was blocking me. Now I have to see the movie and hope that the pie-fucker moves so I can get my face onscreen.

If you click any of that stuff above, don’t miss the Q&A page, it’s one of the best and funniest we’ve read in a while.

• JoBlo’s got a bunch of new Jersey Girl stills up, so we’ve added them to our ever-growing collection over at Exit 37. Haven’t been there lately? JoBlo’s got them all up on this page at his site if you just wanna see what’s new. So pick a spot, and go check ‘em out!
• Be sure and check out “Euro Trip” next weekend, in theaters February 20th. Two View Askew alumni are involved with this one: Some of the film’s writing/directing was done by Dave “Thanks For Watching!” Mandel, he of Clerks: TAS and Seinfeld fame — So ya know it’s gotta be hilarious — And Jersey Girl / J&SBSB / Clerks: TAS composer Jim Venable does the score for the flick. Not to mention, Buffy fans get to check out her younger sister (from the show) in various states of undress. Enjoy.
• Apparently, there’s a page-long interview with Kevin in this week’s Star tabloid. Nothing really new covered, they take the Ben/Jen angle, but it’s a lot of nice Jersey Girl publicity. If anyone’s got a scan or has it keyed in, please pass it on so we can share. We’re strictly “Weekly World News” readers here.
