We’ve arrived in our row S seats, just below the balcony. There’s a couch onstage and the lights just went down, kevin has taken the stage!

Kevin is going to run a shorter show than usual tonight, 3 to 4 hours.

So far, questions have been about Zack and Miri. Kevin is now telling his tale from the ratings board.

iPhone battery is at 20 percent, and the ATT signal in the Basie is rotten, so we’ll check in if any major revelations are dropped. Thanks for checking in.

Our favorite question of the night so far – an enthusiastic costumed guy from Philly in the balcony just proposed a “View Askew Zombies” comic book series to Kevin.

Different from many sessions, Kevin has been moving more quickly through questions and there haven’t been many extended tales. It’s a fun format and allowing Kevin to get to more folks.

The new Basie is nicely renovated, but very hot and seats are a bit tight – The packed house can’t be helping. Note to self, t-shirt next time!

Red State: Kevin speaks confidently about it being made, but financing is still not final. They are eyeing a Spring start, and may do a multi-way finance to get it done.

It’s 9:50 PM, lines are long but the 4 mics have all been having their say, with am average of 5 to 10 minutes spent per person. Questions have been generally good and Kevin has continued to answer them and move on.

The audience has just confirmed via cheers how hot it is in here, and Kevin has just jokingly left the stage for a quick shirt change due to the heat.

10:45 and going strong! Kevin is fielding a question about future plans, and reveals we won’t see much of him in public for six months.

Lots of topics covered so far tonight, with questions ranging from Jersey Girl to Zack & Miri, as well as some words on doing these Q&As and if a question has ever offended him (so far, none have).

While there are no Vulgarthon plans, Kevin expects that Big Helium Dog will arrive on DVD within the next year.

Kevin won the best wingman ever award by hooking up to fans who came in all the way from Ohio. A true highlight!

The show ended at 11:15 – After a brief chat with faithful fans Karla and Robb in the lobby we’re hitting the road home.

• Later this afternoon, we’ll start the 3 hour trek into beautiful downtown Red Bank, New Jersey for Kevin’s Q&A appearance at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank tonight. We hope to see many of you there. Stop and say hello if you catch us, of course.

  
  Unlike the last show filmed here for “Threevening”, tonight’s show has no set agenda or time limit, and the Basie is known to let Kevin riff as long as he’d like, so we’re prepared for anything tonight.

  If you line up to ask a question, please do your best to not ask something you know the answer to or to elicit a story that’s been told on a previous DVD – Kevin’s not known for repeating tales told on the previous discs, so expect new content tonight. Who knows, maybe your good question might result in a new classic tale being formed before your very eyes.

  If signals and battery strength allows, we’re going to attempt some live blogging via iPhone tonight, so it’s possible you’ll see any big news or interesting tidbits dropping live, as they happen, on News Askew this evening.

  We hope to see you in Red Bank tonight, and look forward to another historical show at the Basie.
