KS: “I visited Stockton back in late 1988-89, when a friend of mine was going there. I went down there and hung out at a campus party. It was a cool campus. It was during a time when I was wondering if I should go to college or not. It was also at a time when I was using a lot of weed. My girlfriend and I broke up and I spent the summer [after high school] just getting stoned. I went to Stockton to visit Paige and she said, ‘You’re not funny anymore ever since you started smoking weed.’ That’s when I stopped. A Stockton student set me straight.”
  • There’s a nice grade and writeup for Kevin and Jay’s upcoming Degrassi conclusion, “Lexicon of Love I/II”, in Entertainment Weekly from this week (Howard Stern’s on the cover). Those of us in the U.S. get the episodes first tonight at 8 PM EST on “The N”.
  • Those of you intrigued by the concept since the Dante & Randal short might find “The History of the Flying Car” at AOL Autos a fun read.
  • Here’s an interesting one from the UK: The flick “Southland Tales” (in which Kevin appears in a small role) has been given a release date of September 15, 2006. No UK date for Clerks II has yet been announced. As for a US release of “Tales”, same deal — No date, though it likely will be September 15th or before, given this news.

  • Everyone’s favorite “Buddy” appears in the new Wizard (#175). See that scan? There ya go.
  • Congrats to former MoviePoopShoot.com editor Chris Ryall on being nominated for a 2006 Eisner Award (Best Short Story).
  • Finally today, a reminder that there’s a big party happening to kick off the Red Bank Vulgarthon next month. If they get 100 paid attendees by April 15th, one board member will donate $100 directly to RAINN and another will donate $50 directly to RAINN. Learn about the new challenge to fill up registrations HERE. If you want more info on the party itself, check it HERE. We remind you this is not a View Askew-run event, but sounds like a fine time all the same, and a great way to meet some fans before you hafta pick your seats the next day!
