• We reported on an Australian release date for Clerks II a few weeks ago, and we’re now getting confirmation on that as well as some UK details (and yes, good news on some personal appearances) from Kevin himself:

• TVShowsonDVD.com had previously reported that the long-awaited Season 1 release of the MNIE DVD would hit stores on September 5, but is now reporting the set has been delayed until September 26. No reason has been given, though we’ll keep you posted. We’re looking forward to this one, so the delay stinks, but at least it’s only a few weeks.

And just in case you weren’t already excited for this set, check out this tidbit from the IMDB on another exciting extra:

• Let the Clerks II press onslaught begin! Brian and Jeff recently appearaed on 91X radio “Cantore in the Morning” to chat up the film, the start of a month-long tour of radio and tv spots to get awareness of the flick out there. You can listen to the podcast at the “Cantore in the Morning” site or directly by clicking HERE.
• Tickets are on sale now for a Kevin Smith tribute and Dogma screening hosted by Kevin’s brother Don at the Raue Center For The Arts. Sunday, August 6th at 7:00 PM. $8.00 for adults and $6.00 for students:

Full details and ticket info at their website.

• We’ve been getting so many e-mails about this topic we thought we’d post up what we knew. With all the cities and dates posted for when Kevin, Brian, and Jeff are touring the country to promote Clerks II, many of you are wondering: Are these PUBLIC appearances? Photo ops, autographs, etc?

From what we gathered, at Vulgarthon, Brian did inform us of this plan, but it sounded more like the tour would allow the guys to do in-person radio and TV interviews, not necessarily public meetings or appearances for fans. That doesn’t however, mean it might not happen in some cities.

Kevin’s revealed the final word on this via the board today:

And a bit more detailed, from another post:

We’ll keep you posted if we do hear anything in the way of PUBLIC appearances.

• Here’s a neat scoop spotted in New York City — A movie theater there gave our scooper a Clerks II promotional flyer, which he was good enough to scan for us. One side features snippets from that glowing Cannes review (watch for minor spoilers), and the other side has a fun little Kevin Smith film quiz. Our scooper also was shown some test TV spots for the film! Here’s that report:

Click the pics for closer looks at the flyer! Great little souvenir from the flick, for sure!

• Kevin’s confirmed a July 10th appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno to promote Clerks II. Rosario Dawson will also appear to promote the film, though the date of her appearance isn’t set just yet. We’ll of course let ya know.
• Superman director Bryan Singer mentions Kevin’s involvement briefly in an interview he did with Aint It Cool recently. Here’s the snippet:

• Earlier this week we let ya know FEAST would hit theaters in September. Seems that it’ll be a brief run, though, as Moviehole is now reporting that the flick will be available on DVD before THIS Halloween! That’s only about a month window. Those who have seen the film claim it could potentially be a huge cult classic, so we’re really looking forward to this one.
