OBTW, how was your weekend and did you get any interesting conversations with the movie makers?
It was Great, my 17 year old Daughter was with me (my wife as well) and saw the whole askewniverse line up for the first time.
I have a Moobys Hockey Jersey that i wore and it has 37 as the number, she asked multiple times why 37 and i just said wait until clerks and all will be revealed. when that seen happened she busted out laughing... i had mixed feelings a girl dad but then every time 37 is mentioned in the other movies she just kept laughing...
She claimed she liked all the movies but Mall Rats was her favorite. a the very beginning Kevin asked if anyone in the theater had NOT seen the movies and she was one of 2 people and she looks much younger then 17 so he asked how old she was and commentated that she was in for an education. He then checked in with her in-between several of the films to see how she was doing, if she was embarrassed to be watching it next to her dad and if she was enjoying it. it was pretty cool.
We didn't get any one on one time with him this time around because they had almost 700 people in 4 different theaters but i have been able to meet and chat with him several times in the past. super down to earth dude that truly appreciates his fan base and goes out of his way to accessible and accommodating. At the last Vulgerathon before Covid my wife and i met him and chatted for a few, he got it out of her that she was really only there for me as she pretty much only enjoys 2 of his movies... he busted out laughing and said, yea that's a pretty common theme and then whispered, to be honest, i like other peoples stuff way more then my own as well so it was pretty cool.
Hooper from Chasing Amy was thee as well and spoke after that flick about the roll and Kevin mentioned that we have not seen the last of Hooper.
Shannon Daugherty was supposed to attend but passed away a few weeks ago.
Joey Adams was also supposed to attend but had flight delays
Jay Mewes had emergency oral surgery so had to bail to all that kind of sucked but it was still a tone of fun.
Kevin had 5 delays as well and was supposed to arrive the night before but literally landed 40 minutes before it started and arrived from the airport and walked right into he theater to intro clerks at the start. still had his carry on with him when he walked in (he has an apartment above the theater that he stays in for these events.
On Sunday we stopped at the Quick Stop where they filmed a ton of stuff including Clerks, and then went to his comic shop to see some of the movie memorabilia and props. did a little shopping with the kiddo (she likes light hearted comics) so picked up a few for her and some new shirts to replace some old ratty ones i have.
all in all it was fantastic and exactly the kind of weekend i needed with my girls. life has been super busy for all three of us so not a lot of quality time together recently, also been dealing with some health stuff that's had me down but this helped for the mental part of that for sure.
Thanks for asking!!
