its not everyday a cult hero appears in a local record shop
a lot of stuff happened in 1994 including my notoriously mediocre sophomore year of college, but one of the highlights had to be kevin smith’s film masterpiece clerks, a movie that rang true for anyone that had ever spent more than two minutes behind the counter at a convenience store.
fast-forward to 2006, smith is a cult icon and even took a shot at the mainstream*.
oh, and he is back with the sequel, clerks 2.
as part of his promo tour the director will be in town at criminal records in little 5 at 4 pm on thursday. apparently, signing, chatting and hanging out.
my guess, the place will be packed so I would get there early.
thanks to drive a faster car for the tip.
UPDATED ON 6-27******
the kevin smith appearance at criminal records is officialy cancelled according to their website for “circumstances beyond out control”*.
I believe he just cancelled:

yup, it sure is. i just called criminal records and they said it had and they were working on updating the website.
no reason offered, although i did ask.
bummer.
BOO!
