I had a great evening. Tonight, my friends and I went to Kansas City to see Kevin Smith in person, as he did his 'A night with Kevin Smith' live.
It was an entertaining and fun evening, it lived up to my expectations and I laughed all night long.
For those who don't know, Kevin Smith is a screenwriter, film producer, and director, as well as a comic book writer, author, comedian, and actor. He is also the co-founder, with Scott Mosier, of View Askew Productions and owner of Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash comic and novelty store in Red Bank, New Jersey. He also hosts a weekly podcast with Scott Mosier known as SModcast. Smith is known for participating in long, humorous Q&A sessions that are often filmed for DVD release, beginning with An Evening with Kevin Smith.
His films are often set in his home state of New Jersey, and while not strictly sequential, they do frequently feature crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon in what is known by fans as the "View Askewniverse", named after his production company View Askew Productions. He has produced numerous films and television projects, including Clerks, Dogma, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
His Q&A sessions are humorous and about his career as a screenwriter, film producer, director, comic book, author, and actor as well as some of his personal life.
