Now, with this new announcement, we’ve got a reason for you all to buy up hotel rooms in and around the town — You’ll wanna stick around until Saturday, as Kevin Smith, along with artist Walt Flanagan, will be signing copies of their highly anticipated new comic “Batman: Cacophony” at the historic Secret Stash East in downtown Red Bank!

For those of you who have never been to the Stash, this is your perfect opportunity to see the place, the props, and of course, meet the man himself in person. DO NOT MISS IT.

A few things to know – First up, the event runs from 2 PM til 5 PM. The line WILL BE CAPPED. The guys gotta stop at 5, so GET THERE EARLY (in other words, way before 2 PM) to secure your spot. If you get there too late, you risk missing you chance to get your book signed. If you want to buy anything else there and get it signed, OR bring something along, YOU CAN GET ONLY UP TO TWO OTHER ITEMS SIGNED. This is not to give you a hard time, but rather, to allow everyone in line the time and a chance to get their stuff signed, too. You MUST buy a copy of the Batman comic as well – But the price is, of course, very affordable.

For full details on this event, visit the official site . Hope to see a bunch of you there. PLEASE HEED OUR WARNING, LINE UP EARLY! We don’t want you to miss your chance to get a book signed, and Red Bank events are always insanely popular.

If you have seen, or plan to see, “Zack And Miri Make a Porno”, HOLD ONTO YOUR TICKET STUB! Ron, owner of Laser Blazer, home of Secret Stash west, will take 10 PERCENT OFF EVERYTHING IN THE STORE if you bring in your ticket stub from the flick. Yep, EVERYTHING – The only exclusion would be the week’s new DVD releases, which are already discounted 20% off the top.

The coolest thing? This promo NEVER ENDS. If you see the movie three times, you can use the discount three times (they’ll take your ticket stub). But you can use it this week. You can use it next year. You can use it five years from now. You just gotta see the movie, save your stub, and bring it with you to Laser Blazer. Simple, right?

If you’re a Laser Blazer shopper, or plan to shop there on a trip into town, this makes seeing the movie again and again an even better prospect. Heck, depending on theater prices, if you’re planning on dropping money on a few things at the store, seeing the movie again will also be free (or better than free) after your discount. Laser Blazer already has the best prices in town, so this 10% makes it even sweeter. Ron is fully stocked up on all the DVDs in the land, plus Stash swag such as those Monroeville Zombie Jerseys and T-shirts as well as the new Bean and Gone T-Shirts and stickers. And yep, the discount of course works on them, too.

See “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” and shop Laser Blazer/Stash West — This is one of the best swag promotions we’ve ever seen in View Askew history.

In which our heroes confront the civic perils of making a porno, debate the innocence of youth, discuss the responsibilities of parenthood, witness the genesis of a northern superhero team, and try to unravel the mystery of one boy’s vestigal gills.

You’ll find SModcast at just one place on the web – FREE at Quick Stop Entertainemnt. With Kevin’s busy schedule back east this week, we might have to wait a while longer for the next episode, so enjoy taking this one in. And of course, we’ll let ya know when the next one arrives.
