The one with Kevin Smith part 2 - The main update!

Long haul day yesterday! I had bought tickets for Kevin Smith’s first ever Irish Q&A a while back, just before it sold out. Little did I know I’d be introducing him. That came about when he asked me was I going to the gig during an interview last week, to which the conversation continued with Kev asking me to intro him as he’s been coming on the show for so long!

The wife got home from work early and we hit the road around 1:40pm. All was straight forward until we got to the shithole that is Abbeyleix. Well maybe shithole is too strong a word, but the traffic was just unbelievable. And speaking of traffic, we took about 50 minutes to drive a distance of 5 minutes, in Dublin rush hour. Bonkers (In a Dizze Rascal way too). Between the jigs and reels we got into the worlds narrowest car park for around 530pm and after a 58 point turn managed to get into a space. Then I had to ring Kevin and on the first attempt no joy as I got the “Out of coverage” (here we go says I) and then on the second one he answered and we sorted out the details which basically I had to ask for a dude in Vicar Street. So after a bout of food we met up with Roar (who was also going) and rocked on to the venue. The nice blokes at the door had no idea who I was looking for and the box office folks were a little bit unsure, but then Carl (The legend) sorted us out and brought us to a green room of sorts.

I then get my Access all Areas badge and Kev turns up with his beautiful wife Jen. A small bit of chit chat before hand and I’m on the stage stairs at Vicar Street, with it undecided whether I’m going on stage or just using an offstage mic. Kevin confirms me going on stage and then another few minutes are spent hanging by the curtain until I’m told “GO”. Kevin shakes my hand says something I can’t remember and tells me we’ll hug when he comes on. So I go do the spiel we hug and I eventually make my way back to the wife at our table and Kevin Smith absolutely blows the roof right off Vicar Street.

We got to hang out afterwards with the legend himself for a bit and then we hit the road, getting home just after 3am!

Anyways, the important parts….

 

The one with Kevin Smith at Vicar Street Part 1

Right, incredibly long day down. Home about 35 mins. Had an absolute blast introducing Kevin Smith at Vicar Street! Tonnes of photos and the intro video as well. But for now, my bed is screaming at me so this will have to do...

The one with the best slow motion video you'll see today

Apparently its a million frames a second. I'm sure its a great achievment, but to hell with that. Lets get with the bullets and slo-mo

The one with, actually I'm not sure what this one has

Damn, its late in the afternoon. This day has disappeared and any hope of a half decent blog post is fast disappearing, but there is a little something to put a potential, big dopey smile on yer face!

The one with the dogs

I don’t know how many of you have dogs, and to be honest I won’t be losing any sleep about it either. But for those of you that have…

We have 2 Yorkies. And they’re definitely bi-sexual at the very least. Not that it bothers me or anything, but to be honest (and you may not want to be eating when you read on) if I want to see 2 dogs eating one another’s ass then I’ll go off and look for it online. But as  I don’t its a bit rude on the dogs part. Now that said, they can be subtle at times. Take last Saturday evening. The wife went out and I hung out in the bedroom watching Christ knows what, before I headed off to the Club. As soon as the dogs realised “Hey, there’s nobody downstairs, we can have a fuckfest” off they thundered down the stairs. Usain Bolt wouldn’t have got down the stairs any faster.

I’m not entirely sure what goes on. At times there is lots of howling. Other times there is silence. So after a while I called them back up to the love room and one (the older one) was all out of breath and the other was just chilled, making it quite obvious who was the bitch. That said, I still believe they don’t get it one with each other. Its more of a scenario where the older one gets his groove on with a blanket, folds up just right and goes at it like a hungry Mike Tyson. The younger one then just stands by, whoopin’ and hollarin’.

If you thought that's bad, then there's the constant rim jobs that are happening. And both are guilty of that. The blanket banging goes in a more private setting, while the rim jobs just happen any time, any place. And they cause the dog’s teeth to start chattering like its 40 below freezing. Bizarre and crazy shit!

The one with the Zombieland review

Right, so yet another Zombie movie. Zombie movies are after experiencing a bit of a comeback over the last few years, but none of them are anything like this. Many zombie movies have gore, many have some humour, many have action but not many combine them all into one big pile of awesome!

The one with the Up Review

Pixar have raised the bar every time they release a movie, in story telling, in style, in visuals. You name it they’ve raised the bar for it. So how much higher can the bar be raised. Well Up, is raising the bar very, very high indeed….with no balloons attached either.
