Here goes...

Smalls (yes, this board's very own Smalls) has been hired to work at View Askew.

Alright, that's not the big news. Sadly, there will be no big news today. Thought it would be
alright to talk about by today, but it's not. Sorry. I'm hoping I can bust it by Friday, but no
promises. I'm at the mercy of the parent company on this one, so cut a brother some slack.
This is not me toying with your hearts and minds, because I assure you, if I'd had my way,
I'd have told you a month ago. But some shit's out of my control, and this announcement is
one of those things.

To assuage this cyber pull-out of sorts, what follows is a list of OTHER news - various little
tidbits to hold ya'll over 'til the bomb drops.

- Variety, the film trade magazine of record, is doing an issue celebrating View Askew's
Tenth Anniversary. It's a very cool honor. They'll be talking about our little secret club-
house website as well, so keep an eye out for the issue. It hits stands in March, I believe.

- Today I'm shooting a guest spot on the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear", in which I play... well, me.
Already shot a little bit on Monday (an exterior at the front gate of CBS Radford; ironically,
the same gate Jay and I snuck past in "Strike Back") and had a good time. Not sure when it's
gonna air yet.

- We started press screening "Jersey Girl" last week (in NY and LA) and it's going very well.

- The "Jersey Girl" screening to benefit the Kenny Gordon Foundation will be held March 4th
in NYC, five days before the premiere. Ben, Liv, and I will be at the benefit, and tickets are
gonna be open to the public (heads-up: the prices will be a little steep, as it's a benefit). I'll
let you know where you can buy tix next week.

- There's also gonna be a screening up at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY,
on March 10th or 11th, I think. The beloved Janet Maslin will do some Q&A with me
following the show. Tix will be open to the public.

- I'll be in Toronto on March 12th doing a college Q&A (for Ryerson, I think) at the Roy
Thomson Hall. Tickets are open to the public. No "JG" screening beforehand or anything.
This is straight up Q&A.

- Ya'll have already read about the South By Southwest/Austin Film Society Screening of "JG".
The "Strike Back" Austin screening was about the best public screening of the flick I'd ever
attended, so hopefully, this'll at least match it. Q&A will follow.

- The L.A. Secret Stash's opening has been pushed back to June 1st now. There will be a
Bash for that Stash, rest assured.

- Saw the completed 3D-animated View Askew Productions card that Chris Bailey made for
the front of "Jersey Girl", and it's fucking awesome. It's based on the new Jay and Bob logo
that some of you have spotted at the bottom of the "Jersey Girl" poster. Imagine the
InAction figures having come to life, and you'll get an idea of how it looks. Would be cool to
do a whole movie with them...

- I am finally... FINALLY... finishing both "Spider-Man and the Black Cat" and "Daredevil:
Target" for Marvel. Big apologies on the delays, but I'll try to make it worth it.

- Along those lines, I'm also finally... FINALLY... getting all the free "Strike Back" posters
signed and out next week, with the help of the mighty Smalls (who's been too modest to
admit here that he's now a View Askew employee).

And that's about it for now. Keep checking back for the biggie tomorrow and Friday.

For the record, though - the big news has nothing to do with Tom Cruise.
