• So how ya doin’, folks? Good? Thanks for stopping in today. We’re sort of basking in the aftermath of all the undercover work that we
  did earlier this year to get the new look up and running for ya’ll. Seems like we’ve got the majority of the bugs worked out right now. We were forced
  to go back to the old method of displaying images due to some issues with the Macintosh web browser users out there. Once we have a universal solution,
  we’ll hopefully be able to present a more convenient way to view images. But until then, at least it’s working for all now.

We urge you to take part in the community at the website, including the talkbacks and the News Askew forums. They’re both great places to meet fellow fans,
discuss the Askewniverse and anything else that’s on your mind. A lot of account were opened, so we assume many of you just prefer to lurk and read, and
that’s fine as well. We love to see the participation. Later this month, we hope to re-open News Askew chat, which will feature live, in person chats
through your web browser or IRC client. We’ll be scheduling set events in the chatroom to allow you immediate interaction with us and some of the celebs
of the View Askew world. Watch for that soon, and lots more as well, as we continue to expand the new News Askew.

Also today, I (Brad) want to thank everyone who sent me Vegas information over the past few weeks. My trip’s just one week away and I’m stoked, ready to
leave NOW! All the info you sent on bars, clubs, gambling, food, and the like has been very useful and is very much appreciated. If anyone’s gonna be in
town or lives and works in town (especially those of you who like to buy beer), let me know! And now, today’s update…

• We continue our special feature on the View Askew issue of Variety today, with two more scanned articles from the magazine, available online here for the first time. First off, “The News on Mewes” catches up with Jay and asks him about what he’s been up to recently.

Next, we’ve got a really nice little clipping where Kevin gives a few sentences on each of his films so far, with some personal feelings on where the company was before and after each film. A very concise, well-spoken piece which covers Kevin’s film history quite nicely. Mandatory reading.

We’ll have more View Askew Variety for you soon!

• Wanna know everything about New Jersey in one book? The New Jersey Encyclopedia is the place! The entries
  page of the website lists a “Smith, Kevin” so we can only assume than the man himself scores an entry. If anyone’s got it, pass it on! Read more about
  the new book HERE.
• Jersey Girl scores a small mention in this New York Times article, “Bringing Up Baby, but Not Giving Up Movies”,
  which focuses on films that some mothers have been seen taking infants into theaters lately:

• And finally today, could a fellow Askew vet be giving Affleck a run for the money at
  the poker tables? Check out who finished 13th in the qualifying series round. Verrry interesting. By the way, Ben, let’s play some cards in Vegas next
  week!
