In support of his new film “Brutal Massacre”, Brian will be appearing live in Ft. Lauderdale and Pittsburgh, meeting and greeting fans, signing autographs, and the like. First up, Brian has JUST been added to the list of guests to appear at the Florida SuperCon in Weston Fla., just outside of Ft. Lauderdale, this weekend May 23rd – 25th. This is Brian’s FIRST EVER appearance in the state of Florida.

To promote the show, Brian will be on the air on 93 ROCK FM in the Ft. Lauderdale area, sometime between 9 and 10 AM this Friday.

Finally, don’t miss Brian, who will be appearing with Jay Mewes at the massive Pittsburgh Horrorhound in June from the 20th – 22nd. Watch News Askew for the latest appearances as Brian continues his tour to support the flick. We’ll have the latest news and dates right here, as well as in our events rundown on the right.

We’re going to guess this will not only be a fun way to spend a night out and benefit charity (and possibly call BINGO!), but that Kevin will lend a lot of his own brand of entertainment to the evening. More information can be had at the Legendary Bingo site. We suggest booking right away, as once word is out of Kevin’s involvement, we’re betting fans will fill up the sports pretty quickly (so go and find yourself 9 friends!).

Been knee-deep in “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” type stuff, preparing for our first official test screening on Tuesday night (somewhere in the midwest). The flick’s current running time is 1:45, so we’ll see if putting it in front of an audience sheds light on any further possible cuts. Fingers crossed the flick plays great.

Thursday night, I’ll be in Jersey for another poker tourney at Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. There are about five seats left, if you’re on the east coast and feel like rolling cards with us May 15th at 8p.m. Interested parties should drop a line to donkey@viewaskew.com.

When I get back from the trip back east, I think I’ll be ready to post the first internet-only “Zack and Miri” teaser. I’ll let you know when it goes live at www.quickstopentertainment.com (home of SModcast).

I’ll be at San Diego for ComiCon yet again this summer. More details when I know ‘em (but figure a Friday night panel in the big room).

Anyone remember the Crazy for Cult art show Scott and I hosted last summer at Gallery 1988 on Melrose, here in Los Angeles? Remember how awesome that turned out? Well Jensen, Scott and I are doing it again this August…




Trust me: you’ll love it.

And that’s about it, for the time being. I’ll check back after the test screening to let you know how we did, as well as hip you to the ‘net teaser.

As always, you can read Kevin’s full posts on his MySpace blog or Silent Bob Speaks.com.

“We regret that we have to move the Bergen PAC date again, but those of you that know Kevin, realize this has never happened before. Due to the editing and release schedule of Z&M, we are going to have to move the show to Feb 21, 2009. For those of you with tickets to the show, please call the box office at 201-227-1030 for more info on how to exchange your tickets for the show. Again we regret the inconvenience.”

Hopefully everyone understands here, the flicks are the bread and butter, so we’re sure that the reschedule has to do with getting the best possible flick out to us this Fall, on time and in fantastic shape. We’ll keep you posted on any further details and other chances to see Kevin live. Looks like there will be quite a few across the country in the second half of 2008 and early 2009.

First up – On Tuesday, September 30th, Kevin returns to the Great White North! He’ll appear live at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary, AB Canada.

As previously announced, on November 7th, the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ will be jammin’ once again when Kevin returns home for what we’re sure will be another sold out show. Tix are now available for online purchase at the Basie box office.

Then, on January 24, 2009, Kevin comes to The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford, CT.

Again, no further details at this time, but we did want to get the early word out on these shows. Once we have them set in stone along with ticket purchase information, we’ll have it all right here at News Askew. Oh, and we’re also hoping to have an official reschedule date for that Bergen Q&A soon, as well. Stay tuned.

So, when we heard that the Basie was being closed for renovations from July to October, we were first bummed, but then excited. While this would mean Kevin wouldn’t have a chance to hit this great spot over the summer, we were hopeful to see what would come after the place re-opened.

So, here’s the good news – Kevin will be appearing at the Count Basie LIVE, one night only — Friday, November 7th, at 7:00 PM. This being a Friday night, it’s going to be a BIG show, considering it kicks off the weekend. Also, it’s likely to sell out fast. For this one, it’s not a question of IF it will sell out, but WHEN, and how quickly.

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE! BUY THEM NOW BEFORE THEY SELL OUT!

Prices range from $25 for the balcony all the way up to $75 for those nifty front of theater seats.

The show is scheduled for just one week after the current planned release date for “Zack And Miri Make a Porno”, so it’s likely that Kevin will have a lot to say about the film — And will hopefully be celebrating from a big week of box office grosses!

We’re not going to miss this one and neither should you. Buy your tickets TODAY and be among the first to see the beatifully restored interior of the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank. You don’t wanna miss a Smith in Red Bank show! See ya there. And please, buy today. You don’t want these tix to go extinct on ya.

We’ve had the pleasure of spending quite a bit of time with Marliyn and Brian over the years, and can attest to the fact that these are two of the most kind, gracious folks in the biz, who love their fans. Don’t miss this chance to visit the Con and meet three View Askew icons.

Note – This hasn’t yet been published on the website, but we can confirm this inside information is TRUE and that both Brian and Marilyn have booked their appearances. A good horror convention just got even better. We’ll see ya there!

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:

Chiller Theater Convention: Parsippany, NJ (May 2nd – 4)

Horrorhound Weekend: Pittsburgh, PA (June 20 – 22)

Horrorhound Weekend: Indianapolis, IN (August 29 – 31)

ScreamFest: Orlando, FL (October 17 – 19)
