• The Vulgarthon Tip Sheet that’s been assembled lovingly by board members, Kevin, and us, has had its
  final update prior to the event.

Seating: We ask everyone to pick a seat they’ll be happy with all day long. Please don’t sour other fans by moving to
a different seat later in the day. Pick a spot you’ll be happy camping in, and stick to it. Also, keep in mind we
sold the place out, so there won’t be empty seats around you. Pack it in there, or risk being forced to do the “Stand
up and shift” trick down the line to fill in empties.

Schedule: No finalized schedule is up yet, so we have no idea what the Q&A order will be or the film order. With the
Noy You Know and Chasing Amy Q&A’s taping though, we’re guessing those flicks will happen smack in the middle of the
event, once everyone and everything has been settled. That’s just a guess, though.

Since it’s the first thing of the day, and it’ll set the tone and schedule for the REST of the day, we ask you to PLEASE
note Kevin and Jay’s request: No photos or autographs at the door. Kev and Jay will greet you and bracelet you up,
after that, be on your way to finding a seat. You’ll have an entire day for photos and autograph requests, remember.

Looks like the weather for Los Angeles will cooperate for the most part for us — Sunny all weekend with just a chance
of some showers on Monday (but since we’ll be indoors all day, as long as those showers hold off til 9 or 10 AM). Much
better than the rain and 40 degree temps back east here. See you in sunny California!

• Don’t forget…Tonight is a HUGE night on Encore for Kevin Smith fans! We’ve got “The Directors”, “Chasing Amy”, “Clerks”, and the US broadcast preem of “An Evening with Kevin Smith”…All tonight on ONE CHANNEL! Here’s what the Hollywood Reporter had to say about Kevin’s episode of “Directors”:

The director of “Clerks” and “Chasing Amy” plays interviews in this docu with apparent uber-honesty, pushing his pet theory that “any chimp can direct.”

At the same time, Kevin Smith muses that there must be a God, otherwise how could his film career have taken off the way it has? This engaging report should appeal to fans of Smith’s work and inspire beginning filmmakers on a budget.

On the other hand, Smith’s disarming frankness might unsettle people who believe filmmaking is high art.

Some nifty clips from Smith’s films are welcome reminders of his craft, which ranges from disaffected youthful angst in “Clerks” to the wacky slapstick of “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”

It’s not every filmmaker who can bounce back after churning out a second movie like “Mallrats,” which bombed at the boxoffice. The docu covers his misses as well as his hits and delves into the controversy of “Dogma,” a film about fallen angels that was boycotted by the Catholic League.

There’s plenty of praise and admiration expressed by some of his favorite actors, including Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams and Jason Lee, and producer Scott Mosier. Also heard from are George Carlin and Alanis Morissette, who appeared in “Dogma.”

Starz premieres Jersey Girl tomorrow, though many of us will be watching a freshly-cut, never before seen version of the film on Monday.

• Lots of emails coming in on the IMDB’s trivia question today:

And as we all know, the answer is View Askew’s beloved Jason Lee.

• Documentarian JM Kenny would like to send out props to all of the wonderful folks who came to the
  shows in Toronto and London. Kevin was on fire and the audience responded in kind. JM tells us that the Evening 2
  footage he shot is looking great, especially since it was shot in HD. His words:

We’ll keep you informed of the progress with Evening 2. We’re sure it’ll be even more hilarious than the first.

• Kevin gets a mention in this interview with DC’s
  Bob Schreck:

• The beautiful and talented Aimee Mann’s official site has posted a pre-order for her new concept
  album, “The Forgotten Arm.” The CD is about a boxer in the early 1970s who gets sent to Vietnam and has to leave his
  girlfriend.” It contains the tune “That’s How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart” from ‘Jersey Girl.’
• And finally today, okay okay…We know you’re tired of the Easter Bunny attack stories (though isn’t
  it disconcerting how many happen across the country?) but check out the bunny’s name in this
  story. Oh, the irony.
