• With the biggest event in View Askew history now in the books, we look back on a fantastic time, the great people we met, and the event itself, brilliantly organized and orchestrated by Ming Chen. For those of you there: Thanks so much for making this a total blast. By far, the best fans in the world are View Askew fans, and you’re all class acts. Special thanks also to all the celeb guests who we had the chance to spend some time with: Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Brian O’Halloran, Malcolm Ingram, Mattt Potter, Jen Schwalbach, and Susannah Grant. One of the most magical things about the Red Bank Vulgarthons is the amazing accessibility to everyone, and the interactions between fans and creators. With a two day event, this was probably the most laid-back, easygoing crowd we’ve ever seen. Many folks stayed for both days, allowing them time to see films they want to see once, twice, or not at all — So the action outside the theaters was just as exciting as what was going on inside.

As we roll into the weekend, keep an eye on our Vulgarthon 2006 page for updated coverage and photos from us. Also, as news, tales, and photos from all of YOU come in, we’ll be supplementing our coverage with that as well. Thanks again to everyone involved for making Vulgarthon 2006 our best event yet.
