Hmmm.... Thursday sounds doable, it being the day before Good Friday, i.e. I'll have to travel back from Telford that afternoon anyway! 
I'd forgotten about Digitonal/Amba/Hopkins in London on April 1st... Unfortunately, I'll probably be seeing the Fall that evening at Hammersmith Palais (the last gig ever at that venue)... Arse...

How was it? The DVDs from his previous tours are fantastic, I could listen to that guy talk all day.

Ok as I was too ill too attend heres a brief round up of the Q+A from Tuesday nite Kevin Smith Q+A in London from my friend !!
--------------
Tuesday nights Q&A...
Firstly it was hilarious watching the people confused by the huge queue... mainly because they hadn't changed the marquee so people would walk past looking confusingly at the few hundred people lined up, then they would look up at the marquee which had in bold letters "THE SKIN DEEP SEASON"... they would look back at the line disgusted shake their heads and carry on walking!
I can't do Kevin's stories justice but I'll give you the run down on a few!
Firstly I'll mention his discussion of sexylabia.com which is a website for women with large labias... or mighty beef curtains as Kevin was calling them.
The discussion of porn led to a story about Spielberg and Lucas as passed on by Affleck. Ben was invited to Spielberg's Thanksgiving party because of Gwyneth's connection to the Spielbergs and was telling Kevin about how nerdy Steven and George were (they were sitting at a PC comparing each other's websites)! Later on Ben walked in on them looking at porn but it was a really weak porn site filled with lingerie models and Steven and George were giggling like little girls... Kevin tells it funnier and he ends with an impression of them giggling over the idea of Cate Blanchett wearing lingerie in Indiana Jones 4!
He also told us all about working on Die Hard 4 which was really funny. Basically Bruce Willis is a complete diva and Kevin was only supposed to spend one day on set as an actor... and not one bit of film was shot that first day because Bruce decided during the blocking of the scene that he didn't like the dialogue! Eventually Kevin volunteered to rewrite the scene and basically wrote it to Bruce's spec! They then had to wait for approval from the studio who were reluctant until Bruce shanghaied the phone call and asked the execs who their second choice to play John McClane was! Eventually they got around to filming but Bruce still didn't like his lines and Kevin had to explain that he basically wrote the scene under his supervision just a few days earlier! Eventually they got on and Bruce got to adlib some fat jokes and Kevin slipped in a joke about Bruce singing career (which probably won't be in the movie)! So all in all Kevin's one day on set as an actor turned into four days as an actor, writer and all-round mediator (plus he managed to write his own scene to be a bit bigger)!
Of course there were many more stories... no real news was broken. He did mention that he hasn't written his horror film yet but he still plans on making that next followed by a non Askewniverse comedy. That wasn't really news but he did say that he's actually writing the comedy and he couldn't say the title because it's the most explantory title ever and if he announced it the whole premise of the film would be given away (he said it's even more explanatory a title than "Snakes on a Plane"... because that still left questions... "Snakes on a Plane... what kind of snakes?")!
