Kevin, Ben, & The Clerks Gang Invade Vegas!

  • As announced last week, Kevin was indeed in Las Vegas on Friday as part of a Miramax event to promote the DVD release of Clerks X, Jersey
    Girl, and Rounders Special Edition on DVD. He even played a little poker along with Mosier, Mewes, O’Halloran, and the experience card turner, Ben Affleck.
    Here’s when Kevin had to say when asked about who took part:
We all did. To promote/celebrate the DVD release of “Jersey Girl” and “Clerks X” (and the more appropriately themed “Rounders”), Ben, Mos, Brian O’Halloran, Mewes, and me played in this poker tournament at The Palms, against a bunch of pros.

Ironically, Ben was the first of us to go out, later followed by Mewes and Brian. When we got to the final round (during which all ten remaining players were squeezed onto one table), it was Mos and I against eight other pros (including Annie Duke and Miami John). A pro got knocked out, then me, then Mos. Two poker numb-nuts like us had made it pretty damned far into the tourney (mostly by folding all shit hands and winning a few big pots along the way). It was pretty fun.

Phil Gordon of “Celebrity Poker Showdown” said he wanted to get Mewes, Mos, O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, and me together on an episode. Could be fun, if I don’t play like a fucking donkey.

Let’s hope to see a View Askew table set up on Bravo in Season 4! We’re sure it’d be a blast. Get that bleep button ready…
