Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I ran the Jersey idea by my wife and then she took over the computer for hours. She calculated direction, distances and lodging. It seems the trip is a go. The only ever-so-minor problem is the showing of Clerks has been moved. It was supposed to be shown in the empty lot across from the store.

The event has now been moved to a park in Red Bank, NJ which makes less sense but should work out better. From the first time I heard about the original location I was amazed that they were going to show Clerks in a residential neighborhood. The city council moved it because of the language in the movie and I don't blame them one bit since it would be like having a neighbor with tourettes syndrome and a bullhorn. The change has actually convinced people on various message boards to skip the event. That's great news to me cause that will make getting a seat much easier. It should also make seeing the store much easier since the event won't be right outside the thing. The event is supposed to attract 2,000 people and it would be tons of fun to try and get some ample time in the store with that crowd. I'm going to do my best to each most of my meals from the Quick Stop. I just hope the same angry man isn't there that we ran into last time. I took a few pictures last time but this time I am hoping to borrow a camcorder for the trip from my folks or my in-laws.

Seeing the movie, the Quick Stop and The Stash again will be great but meeting Kevin is the real reason for the trip. I still have no idea what I'll have signed. I believe that normally you can have 2 items signed and one of them has to be bought at the store. That seems to be the way they work. Since my wife is going to be there with us that would automatically double the stuff I can have signed. Yay!! I think I want my Clerks X DVD signed in that crazy silver pen. I know I'm going to buy my Chasing Amy figures at the store but since I open them it's totally pointless to have them signed. If they have the Kevin Smith figure I might have him sign that. If they are cheap I can get two so that one can be opened.  I'd like to think of something creative but I'll probably end up being like every other nerd.
