Gonna give this a try, but forgive any technical issues. Hope this is at least readable..

Nice crowd upstairs at the Dublin House pre-party tonight, and I’m getting ready to head down to the theater. Props to Ming who just dropped off my ticket, he’s a busy guy today.

7:03 – Back rows getting free upgrades! Epic guy on stage talking about it being a new network we can download off the Internet. Coaching audience to get us all excited. First audience warmup I’ve ever seen at a Smith show.

I’m closer now…it’s Zak! And he’s killing! Crowd is highly entertained as he fills in a couple empty chairs and telling jokes and rules. The guy’s quite the entertainer! Good on ya Zak.

7:15 – Kevin is on stage! Wait until you see the Quick Stop and RST set. It’s awesome. Kevin stood at Silent Bob’s old spot at RST when he walked out.

7:30 – kevin is talking about his trip up to Brantford which was the inspiration for his tour bus.

7:45 – Q&A has started! Kevin’s opening story about the prom bus to Canada was full of Malcolm impressions and an instant classic.

The first question is all about working with Bruce Willis.

8:00 – He’s tangented off to a funny story about starting to smoke weed and ordering from a convenience store that delivers.

8:30 – Check newsaskew on twitter for a photo. Kevin’s run with the Willis question to talk about hockey, Zack and Miri, and his life leading up to Cop Out. Assume he’ll get back to the Bruce question soon!

8:45 – Jokes at Affleck’s expense so far – 3!

Kevin did get back to the Willis question with lots of good stuff. By the way no details tonight, since the show is being taped. Don’t wanna spoil jokes.

9:30 – He’s been telling some stories about George Carlin.

9:40 – The Southwest Air incident!

10:00 – Crowd is going nuts for the toilet bowl incident, Always a classic.

Fresh story now happening on a border stop on the way to Montreal.

10:30 – The Michael Parks casting in Red State has a story!

Kevin did 3:15 on one question, wrapped up, and is now back for an encore for rapid fire questions to close the night – another first!
