Today is dragging. Since 7 AM this morning I've been working on a 5-inch-thick stack of paperwork, pricing out the 20,000 to 30,000 reports my company ran in November. But I don't mind because in a few hours.............

Kevin Smith is performing "An Evening With Kevin Smith" at the House of Blues in Boston. I ordered my tickets the day they went on sale (the original date was supposed to be mid-November, then got pushed back) and they've been sitting in my car for months.

If you're a fan of his movies and you haven't seen the Evening With Kevin Smith DVD's, I would recommend checking them out. He visits colleges and other venues and stands on stage by himself, talking about his films and his life, and answering questions from the audience.

I'd like to ask a question but I'm not sure what to ask. I'm sure others will want him to talk about getting kicked off a Southwest flight for being too fat, so I'd like to avoid that particular topic. Chances are I'll probably just stay in my seat and not get in line but if I can think of a really good question, I'm asking it. I would be curious to know if there are any movie or comic book adaptations or reboots that he, as a passionate fan, would turn down. At the same time, I wouldn't want to imply that he couldn't handle any particular project so if anyone else can think of great questions to ask I'll do it!

I have some friends who work at Southwest..they werent the guys who kicked him off, but they know the guys who did...and so go their side of the story first hand. His twitter feed doesnt quite tell the full story...

Ryan I'd be very curious to hear their side. Im sure Kevin's account left out some details. I don't doubt that it happened but I wonder if he didn't do certain things to make the situation better for himself.

I'd be interested in hearing about Red State, which I think just finished shooting if I listen to the Smodcast accurately. Sounds like he's gung-ho about it. After the disappointments of Zack & Miri and Copland, I'm interested to see what a Kevin Smith horror movie is like. I think the comics he wouldn't do would be a good question.

Well, the way it was told to me, he had actually bought tickets on another flight (tickets plural because of his size) but changed his plans and caught a flight at a different time (dont remember if it was earlier or later..anywho...). Well your standby at that point..if theres a seat great..if not, your out of luck until your flight comes. Anyways, the gate agent didnt realize he needed 2 seats and sent him down when there was only 1 seat left on the plane...so the drama ensued. The point being, Mr Smith was quite aware of his need for a second seat before any of this happened.
