: After waiting in the seat for hours, editor of Wizard, Jim McLaughlin tried to entertain
: us by beginning to unbutton his shirt. Finally, the moment everyone was waiting for
: the Q and A with Smith and Mewes. It was hilarious. Some stoner kept yelling
: "SING THE FUCK SONG!" It was better than watching "An Evening with Kevin
: Smith."

That was some funny shit there. Especially when Jay just kept replying "Fuck You!" to those requests.

: I know PyThomas(which is now offically pronounced Pie Thomas rather than
: pith-o-miss) and DamnYankees were in the house,b ut I didnt get a chance to talk
: to any of you.

Yeah... that's why I capitalized the "T" in my nick, so that hopefully the "pie-thomas" pronunciation would be more evident. It's basically a combination of "Python" and "Thomas", me being a big Monty Python fan... and the fact that I was posting in a Monty Python board when I first got news of this board.

: Those Storm Troopers who made Kevin Smith an "honorary storm
: trooper" were fucking hilarious. When Smith asked "HAVE YOU EVER MET A GIRL
: IN YOUR LIFE?" i was laughing my balls off. Then they tried to show him apicture,
: "DUDE YOURE FUCKING SHOWING ME A DRAWING, GET A LIFE."

LOL... that was funny. Shades of William Shatner on SNL.

: I think I asked
: the lamest question however, "HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT DOING A
: SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE?"Yeah, I looked like a jackass. I got the least response
: out of that question. And I tried to keep up with the quick-witted crowd, when
: someone asked about a future View Askew flick. I shouted " JAY AND SILENT BOB
: AND SPACE." God I am an idiot.

Nah, that was a good question to ask. Actually I thought "Dogma" had some legitimate sci-fi elements in it.

: Is it just me or did Kevin go a little overboard with
: the details about the first time he slept with his wife? I mean that was a little too
: much information, but it's all good cause the whole presentation was hilarious, and
: he needed a funny way to wrap it up. He talked about experiences with the actors
: and on the sets of his movie including his, "Prized Egg" Clerks. It was very
: disgusting, but I laughed. We were the first to see the Upcoming CLERKS Cartoon,
: plus we saw the never before seen Hosties commercial(intended for Dogma.) We
: also got to watch Heroes(the animated parody of clerks with Daredevil and Captain
: America starring as Randal and Dante.

I liked how the "prize egg" phrase kept popping up. The animations were a laugh riot as well.

: After the convention, in the hotel I went to
: Jim Lee's twisted karoke benefiting the CBLDF. LMAO! I GOT PICTURES of Joe
: Quesda singing "Back in the USSR", and "Man I feel Like a Woman." I bid on a
: piece of exclusive art by Jim Lee, but I didnt win. Mewes came in midway through
: and was challenged to sing "copa cobana" by Barry Manilow. Natrually he didn't
: want to, but Jim Lee bid 300 bucks and Jason Mewes didnt want to fork over
: anymore than that. So he got his ass up there and sang Copa Cobana lmao. I took
: pictures. (Copa Cobana and not the fuck song, go figure.) Jim Lee DID NOT WANT
: TO SING AT ALL. He bid 1400 bucks not to sing. When someone bid 1500 to sing
: "ACHY BREAKY HEART" he really couldnt fork over anymore cash. He was
: horrible, but I managed to get two shots of him singing it. My man, Skottie Young
: got up and started singing " I will Survive." I saved his ass, and forked over 20
: bucks to get him to stop. After that night of Fun, I got to take a picture with Marvel's
: head hancho Joe Quesda and chatted with him a bit. I signed up with the CBLDF
: with a 100 buck donation afterward, because of all the fun I had. The next day,
: Skottie Young remembered the favor, and did a badass head sketch of Gambit(the
: only character from my Hometown) for free. To make a long story short, I went to the
: autograph session with Kevin Smith and Mewes. We got to sit in chairs while
: waiting for the autograph, it was the most relaxing session ever. Anyways, some
: stupid musaic waiting music played on the PA so Mewes brought in his boombox to
: cancel that nausiating shit out. I got a laugh at of Mewes after he starting blasting
: "Like a Pimp" by David Banner when I bellowed "REAL THUGS GET DOWN ON
: THE FLOOR!."(yay 4 me.) I got to take a picture with SMith and Mewes and tey both
: signed by Clerks graphic novel. I shook Kevins hand and shit and asked them
: some questions. They were both really cool, otherwise I'd probably never post on
: this board again.

I wished I could've stuck around for that... I had other errands to run that weekend, though.

: Anyways to wrap this shit up, I had a helluvagoodtime. Kevin and Jason's
: sessions were funnier than a fart. They were fucking awesome. The karoke session
: was great. I got to "rub elbows" with Quesada, Jim Lee, and Skottie Young.

I had a wonderful time too. This happens to be the second time I got to see Kevin in person... the first time around he was in Denton in 1997 to screen "Chasing Amy" for some UNT students. I met Jay for the first time, though... and that was a blast.
