March 12th @ 7:54 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Alright, back on track! SModcast number FIVE appeared exclusively at QUICK STOP ENTERTAINMENT today which certainly has us convinced this show is here to stay. Kevin and Scott once again take to the mic for some good ‘ol FREE entertainment that we just can’t get enough of here at News Askew. Here’s the plotline for this week:
SModcast 5: Nipples You Can Hang a Coat On –

In which our heroes talk poker and casino etiquette, analyze Mos’s frugality and greener instrincts as well as his corn-oil burnin’ car, chat about their missed moment of Oscar glory, muse about the danger of mouth-breathers at a comic book convention, come clean with tales of unsolicited homoerotic escapades from their youth, and refuse to shower in gym.

With “Heroes” off the air until the end of April, we’ve got a new Monday night tradition for ya – Listening to SModcast! Enjoy another 52 minutes of hilarity and insightfulness from View Askew’s pioneers!

March 12th @ 7:54 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • This looks to be one of the biggest non View Askew-organized events ever, folks — Kevin Smith Fan Fest is coming on April 14, 2007, in Franklin, New Jersey! This is a fan-organized event which invites all fans of Kevin and View Askew from across the world to a gathering full of fun, food, games, flicks, and more. The price is right, too – Just $3.70 to show up. And yep, they’ll have booze, too. Here’s the full details:
It’s basically going to be a combination of a Con, Film Fest and Party. Features include: showing some fan made films revolving around Kevin, Star Wars, etc., a band called HURT Ninjas that will be playing songs from Kevin’s movies, contests based upon stuff from the movies, including the Ultimate Kevin Smith trivia contest, Movie-oke (like Karaoke, but with subtitles movies projected onto the wall with you in front of it with a mic doing the dialogue), a Sega Vancouver vs. The Whale hockey tournament, Food Askew such as Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Veronica’s Lasagna, soda with no ice served in dixie cups, and a ton more, plus there will be a cash bar as well.

It’s happening April 14, 2007, at the Franklin Fire Hall, 137 Buckwheat Rd., Franklin, New Jersey, 07416 in Sussex County, 11am-5pm. Tickets will be $10 at the door, but we’re doing a special — If anyone emails KevinSmithFest@yahoo.com, they can reserve their tickets for just $3.70!

Want more info? The official site is over at Myspace. This is a huge undertaking for fans, and sounds like a TON of fun. If you’ve got the ability to make it out, it sounds like a heck of a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon in New Jersey, where the weather will be turning all nice and Spring-y.
