Just got home from the sneak. I just want to say that I’ve been around this site since the Rutgers Q&A. I saw Clerks in the theater and stared at the Mallrats poster in the lobby of my local theater, saw Amy in a Philadelphia art house and Dogma countless times. I’ve had the good fortune to meet and speak with Kevin and many others from View Askew and it’s always been a pleasure!
That in mind I’d like to say thank you, no jokes, no favorite moments from the flick just... Thank you for a comedy that isn’t embarrassed to be what it is. Thanks for actually making me laugh more than three times. Thank you for what you do and the manner in which you do it. I’m going to pay you back the best way I can think of… as of this minute consider me a one man advertisement for J&SBSB (as if I wasn't before) and consider me to be repeat business. I’ll even go one further, Walt get out the double XL’s, I’m coming to the Stash to buy some swag!
I usually sign my posts Scott, but tonight…
Humbly,
A fan
PS. I huge thank you to my brother Brian who came home from his movie theater job one night and told me about Clerks and to the beat writer who had the blurb in the Philadelphia Inquirer oh so many years ago that in part said “Meet Kevin Smith at Rutgers University”. You both have given me a gift I can never adequately return.
