• Yes folks, you read it right — After many years of sitting there on the sidelines while a bunch of us east coasters had a big party, the west coast is going to have their first chance to experience the joy and bliss that is a View Askew Vulgarthon.

Dates have yet to be set, though Kevin has announced that it WILL happen, though most certainly over a weekday period, NOT a weekend, due to the reluctance of movie theaters to close their doors to the public when ticket sales are the highest. So, look to clear a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday off your schedule sometime in the coming months. Exact dates? MOST LIKELY…February 21-23, or February 28-March 2nd.

Alright, don’t take our word for it — Kevin’s announcement can be found at the View Askew website and he’s also asking what dates and days you prefer. So let’s hear it. Here’s Kevin:

This webmaster’s opinion? Why not do it on a Monday, so folks who come into town special for the show and work a standard Mon-Fri work/school week can come in early and tack a day or two of vaca on before the big show? Just a thought.

So, what will a West Coast ‘thon bring? Surprise “Evening 2″ footage? Your first look at the elusive “Big Helium Dog” or “A Better Place” on the big screen? The first-ever screening of “Jersey Girl” at a ‘thon? Special west-coast-type celebrity guests? We can’t wait to find out.

East-coasters, take heart. We’re also hearing rumblings of an upcoming event that should ease your sorrows of not making it to the latest ‘thon due to distance issues. We can’t say more than that right now, but hope to reveal that one very soon. Stay tuned for more information!
