- We’ve been posting quite a few reports of Jason Mewes making public signing appearances at horror conventions across the country over the past few weeks – Mewes is starting to branch out into the genre, with small roles in the Project Greenlight horrorfest “Feast”, as well as David Arquette’s “The Tripper”. He’s also promoting a turn in the horror-comedy “Netherbeast Incorporated”.
We’re taking what we’d previously announced (in our right sidebar “Events” area) and adding in new dates for Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Orlando. Dates and links straight ahead:
Jay’s always of course happy to meet his View Askew fans, so if you’re in the area of any of these shows, be sure to stop by for your chance to meet this View Askew icon and get some swag signed.

- The Devils are off to a shaky start in the playoffs this season, but Kevin’s blog with the NHL is smokin’. The first installment went live right after we announced the blog late last week and will continue to be avilable exclusively through the NHL website. Let’s take a look at a few highlights, though, shall we?
“…Devils fans live to hate the Rangers. Sometimes, it feels like a large cross-section of those folks in the stands at the Rock (and formerly at the Meadowlands) aren’t there so much to love on the Devils as they are to hate on New York: proof of this can be found when the Devils play any team that’s not NYR, and inevitably, at some point in the game, you hear an ornate series of whistles, followed by a mass shout of “RANGERS SUCK!” Even when the boys in blue aren’t anywhere near the building, we’re still seething about their very existence. You’d think we’d hold a special place in our hearts for the Rangers, as they gave us our first ever win back in ’82. Granted, they don’t roll over for us as much as Philly does (except, y’know – in that last game this season), but the Rangers’ve been hoisted up high on the Devils’ pitchfork enough times (the ’06 four-zip playoffs come to mind) to warrant at least a degree of affection.
…
Still, the Devils have nothing to be ashamed about – not even Marty who (that Callahan Sneak aside) played like the living legend he is. The Red and Black kicked off this year’s playoffs with authority, reminding the Rangers why they hate us almost as much as we hate them. All this one-game deficit really means is that we’ve gotta give just a little bit more in Game 2 to make it an even series again. And that’s something the Devils historically know how to do: give a little bit more. We’ve got three Cups to prove it.”
At presstime, Kevin’s New Jersey Devils are down against the Rangers, losing both of the first games in the playoffs. They face each other again today at 7 PM EST. Our beloved Flyers, down a game to the Washington Caps, skate today at 2 PM EST. The NHL playoffs run as a best-of-seven series, so the first team to win 4 games will eliminate the other. More blog highlights from Kevin as they come in.

- We’re from the Northeast US, so hockey is a sport that’s always been dear to our heart. From our beloved Philadelphia Flyers to all the influence we get from Canada, as well as great hockey teams out of New York and New Jersey, it’s tough to be a sports fan here and not love hockey, despite its overall lack of attention here in the States. So, we couldn’t help but crack a smile when we saw an AP press release come across the news desk today, indicating that Kevin was going to be part of a new NHL blog area at their official website. Here’s a snippet:
Jason Reitman, Lauren Conrad, Dierks Bentley and KEVIN SMITH are among the celebrities who will blog about their love of hockey on the National Hockey League’s Web site.
Beginning Wednesday, more than a dozen celebs will follow their favorite teams through the Stanley Cup playoffs, said NHL spokeswoman Bernadette Mansur.
“As NHL.com bloggers, they can be irreverent and candid about their love for the NHL,” she said.
The NHL says that, beginning today, celebs can check in, chat about the playoffs, and how they fit their love of hockey team (Kev’s a Devils fan, naturally) into their hectic schedules. We’ll keep our eye on the blogs, as we’re sure that our fellow hockey fans will be, as well. You can check out Kev’s new area, just underway, HERE. Now, if only Philly would have an easier playoff schedule ahead of them…
