: Thanks for coming, one and all. Sorry we couldn't do any Q&A's, but it was rather late for the theatre folks.
: Some thoughts I forgot to mention or didn't realize until later...
: What you saw was what we screened in Toronto and New York. It's virtually the final, but not quite. The credits are different in the release version (including the dreaded 'Jay and Silent Bob will return in....'), as well as some of the music (Beastie Boys are out, unfortunately) and some minor dialogue cleanup. Other than that, it's the same flick.
: The sound in theatre one sounded muddled. Vincent made some inquiries, and it turns out that - while they did install a new stereo set-up in the theatre, the lens that reads the optical sound track was still the old lens. Hence, muddled sound - in stereo!. I apologize for that.
: We did raise over ten grand for Diabetes (the exact name of the organization that gets the check escapes me right now; rest assured, it's not m bank account, though - this is legit). After the minor expenses (like renting the theatre), we'll be able to present the foundation with a ten thousand dollar check. Not too shabby. Thanks again
: for your generosity.
: Isn't the kid's hat just adorable? If only they made them in adult sizes.
: Thanks to Brad and Chris and especially Ming for coming out, as well as getting the word out there about the screening. All three gents are an integral part of what we do here at View Askew, and I can't thank them enough (and a special heads-up to Ming for the cool mention in the last Entertainment Weekly, about the 'Dogma' website; that makes
: two EW pieces for the Mingster).
: That's about it for now. It was great seeing you all - you're why I do whatever I do, so getting together with you and sharing our latest is always a pleasure.
: Next event: Vulgarthon 2, featuring 'Vulgar' and 'Big Helium Dog'. Coming sometime in 2000.
