• Alright, let’s first get this out of the way: There are somehow a HANDFUL of seats left for Vulgarthon
  at the end of this month. Let’s again go down the reasons why you NEED to be there. The premiere of a four and a half
  hour documentary on the making of Jay & Bob. Two taped Q&A sessions, one for Jeff Anderson’s NOW YOU KNOW, and of
  course, the CHASING AMY 10th ANNIVERSARY REUINION (our personal fave VA film, and reason enough to attend this shindig).
  You’ll also catch the EXTENDED CUT of Jersey Girl, you can’t see that anywhere else (or perhaps ever again, Kevin has
  yet to confirm it’s DVD release). Plus, the west coast premiere of the rarely-seen classic BIG HELIUM DOG. Ok? Why
  are you NOT going? Q&A after every flick with the stars, bigger special guests than EVER before at a VA event, and,
  well, let’s just say if you don’t get tickets, you’re going to kick yourself. A lot. It’ll hurt.

So, before we go further on with some event-specific info we’ve learned, CLICK HERE AND GET YOUR TICKETS! Got them?
Okay, good. Let’s proceed.

• LODGING: Lots of folks seem to be following this POST
  which offers a discount for the Best Western. This hotel offers a close vicinity to the dome, so if you wanna walk
  or carpool, it’s a good bet. Chances are there’ll be VA fans a’plenty partying it up in the bar area on Saturday and
  Sunday. If that’s happening, we’ll likely stop by.

  If you’re looking for another option, and have a car to get to the show, we were able to secure a very affordable rate
  of $70 per night via Priceline. Bid on a 3 star hotel in the Burbank region and you’ll get one of 4 hotels that are
  within about 10 minutes of driving distance to the dome. There’s tons of hotels out there, but if you want to stay in
  a decent place cheap, those are some good options. Regular rates at the nicer hotels are $150 per night and up.

• FOOD: Traditionally past Vulgarthons have allowed a 1-2 hour dinner break. We’re not sure how that
  will work this year, but are told there’s a lot of great food served right AT the Arclight, so no need to worry about
  transporation to the food. With that in mind, expect an hour or an hour and a half for the meal break, as there’s a lot
  to fit into the day.
• PARKING: ArcLight is directly adjacent to a seven-level parking garage. Self-park entrances are off
  Ivar to the west, DeLongpre to the south and off Sunset, just east of the Cinerama Dome. ArcLight offers validation
  with purchase of a movie ticket – effective October 20, 2004, your first four hours are $1 with purchase of a regular
  cinema ticket, and only $2.50 with purchase of a film festival or other special event ticket. Parking is validated for
  1 hour free with purchase in the café bar or gift shop, with a maximum of 4 hours total validation. Regular rates
  apply after validation period with a maximum total charge of $6.00 per visit. So, $6 ain’t too bad for parking in LA.
• SEATING: Last we heard, still first-come, first-served. Get in line early to get the best seats. The
  line should be fun as well. We’ve never had a problem with seats being taken when you take a break, so we don’t expect
  any problems this time. Remember: These are your fellow fans. Be kind and courteous. As always, we remind you not to
  leave empty seats around you, especially singles, as we’re going to need to fill them in anyway once the dome sells out.
• LINING UP & DOORS: We expect folks may show up EARLY, maybe as early as 5 or 6 AM on Monday. Heck,
  some may even spend Easter in line. Who knows. Come when you’re ready to come, especially if you have a desire for
  extra special seats. However, EVERY seat in the Arclight dome rocks, so we suggest you rest up and be ready for the
  day ahead. The event is scheduled to run til midnight, which means you’ll PROBABLY get out around 3 AM. These things
  ALWAYS burn late. But you LOVE that, right?
• AUTOGRAPHS: No autograph or photo taking sessions with Kevin or any of the celebs has been announced.
  It may become a catch-as-catch-can affair, but we remind you, the event is about the show and the Q&As, and is not set up
  as a meet and greet, photo & signing type of thing. If Kevin had to stop and sign for 850 people, the event would turn
  from one day into two days. So if you go in expecting the biggest and best show ever, but not expecting autographs out
  the wazoo, you’ll be happy. We suggest catching Kevin at one of his many Comicon appearances this year if you want to
  get your stuff signed and chat it up with the man.

If anyone’s attending and coming into town for the weekend, let us know what you’re doing, or if you live there, let
us know what WE can do! Staying in an unfamiliar city on Easter Sunday makes us question what might or might not be
open, plus, if a bunch of fans are getting together in one place, why not make the most out of it? Feel free to email
us or check out the Vulgarthon area at the News Askew forums if you want to chat it up. We’d love to meet up with
some of you while we’re in town. We’ll be there Saturday afternoon through the end of the ‘Thon. Look forward to
seeing many of you at the big show! We’ll be the guys with the camera and laptop running web updates all day long
(pretty tough to miss that!). Stop and say hi.
