- Kevin reveals that both a live SModcast as well as the first ever live “Tell ‘Em, Steve Dave” will take place as part of the big Brantford hockey tournament next month.

- The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Kevin will be honored with the Edge Award at the Princetown Film Festival in Rhode Island, which is running from June 16th through the 20th. Details to come.
- Jason Mewes makes a cameo in the recently released “Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy” DVD, poking fun at a stoner character named Freeburg in “Freddy vs. Jason” that appears to have been inspired by the Jay character. (Another actor in the documentary goes so far as to call the FvJ character a blatant rip-off of Jay.) Mewes begins by saying that being asked to appear in FvJ was a lifelong dream, then stops mid-sentence, realizes he wasn’t in the movie, and walks off. Mewes’ appearance aside, the 4-hour documentary is essential viewing if you’re an “Elm St.” fan. Highly recommended.

- The great Walt Flanagan plays a role in this article titled “Sex, Drugs and Superheroes: Are Comic Books Still For Kids?” . Here’s a snippet:
Walt Flanagan says his comic book store includes a small section of comic books geared toward the younger crowd.
Flanagan manages Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash in Red Bank, N.J., the comic book store owned by film director Kevin Smith (“Clerks,” “Mallrats”). Flanagan, a noted comic book artist who has drawn such characters as Batman, works there. He’s also appeared in most of Smith’s movies and is credited with turning the director onto comics.
At the Stash, young readers can find the age-appropriate adventures of Archie, Scooby-Doo, Spider-Man and Superman along with titles such as “Marvel Adventures: The Avengers” and “Johnny DC.”
