This will be the official blog post that we’ll update throughout the day/evening with information for the premier of Kevin Smith’s new flic here in Austin at the Paramount. This will be the US Premier of the film as well. While its been shown in Toronto, it will premier in the States here in Austin first. This is also the 2nd premier that I have been to of Kevin’s here in Austin. The first was Clerks 2.

This is brought to Austin by Fantestic Fest and Alamo Draft House. Where Kevin Smith is kicking it off.

Harry Knowels will be in attendance of course. You might remeber we have an interesting history with him. Well I don’t but Finley does…and Finley also got a response from the writers of Harold and Kumar as an apology to what happened…so he has that going for him.

Tickets were may still be available for purchase here. Update the good seats (up close) are sold out.
Update - looks like sold out for good now.

Larky, Davis and I will be heading out this afternoon and hopefully will be able to do some live blogging prior to and during the event.

Update: Looks like several groups are meeting up prior to the event downtown - follow the chatter on that here at the forums of View Askew.

9:56pm Airsex championship is about to start

11:58pm
And I got some video of the air-sex as well as full audio of Kevin’s pre-movie and post-movie discussions I’ve got to edit etc so it could be some time before I have it up, and it might be better if I waited until after the movie comes out so we don’t spoil it.  But holy crap.  That was good. Tell your friends, see Zack and Miri Make a Porno when it comes out.  Much thanks to Tim at the Alamo Draft house, once again put on an amazing event and this weekend should be awesome also.

I’ll post high-res pictures tomorrow.
