Tickets for Kevin’s upcomming show in Hartford are going on sale a week from today – Monday, August 25th, at 10:00 AM. The show takes place on January 24th of 2009 so you’ll be making reservations pretty well in advance, but it never hurts. Kevin’s Canada gigs typically sell out. This link should have your tickets ready for purchase in a week.

The latest Myspace blog from rap artist MC Chris reveals a rough cut of a track deemed “too dirty” to run with “Zack And Miri Make A Porno”. You can listen to that one there, whilst Chris also DOES reveal that another song of his WILL feature in the film (though no clues to which just yet). Visit the official MC Chris site for more from the man.

Who watches the Watchmen? Apparently, one very lucky director. Seems that /Film also shares our jealousy over Kevin’s early watch of the “Watchmen”, currently our most anticipated flick of 2009. By the way, if you’re in that boat with us, you may want to sign this online petition to Warner Bros in the hopes that they’ll keep the running time intact (showing us the same film Kevin saw and not a shortened version).

For the last year or two, comic book artist Ashley Wood has been publishing a series of small art books called “Sparrow”. Each volume features a different artist. According to Mr. Wood’s blog, a member of the View Askew comics family, Jim Mahfood, will be getting his own volume of Sparrow sometime in the future (no release date is given). At $12.99 each for a 48 page, 6 inch square book isn’t the cheapest, but they’re very well done and worth the money if you’re a fan. Worth looking into for sure, as Jim was with View Askew in the comics world from the beginning.
