KEVIN SMITH... IN AKRON... NEWS @ 11:00!!!

So today, I got my new parking pass and schedule for ushering at E.J. Thomas Performaing Arts Hall. I've been a substitute usher at the hall for a couple of years now, although I really haven't done that many shows.

I'm scanning the schedule, looking for shows I might be interested in seeing ("Man of La Mancha... cool, Rent... awesome...") and then look at the last minute notes and see a notice that the report time for the Kevin Smith Forum is different from that listed in the schedule.

Waitaminit... Kevin Smith? My Kevin Smith? Can't be...

Fingers trembling, I flip back through the schedule, reading it with renewed vigor. Lo and behold, there he was, "UA Forum: Kevin Smith, Director" on Friday, March 2, 2007. Kevin Smith, "Silent Bob," coming to my city in a mere seven months.

I don't remember the last time the work "glee" actually applied to me.

So much to do in only seven months. Call everyone I know. E-mail everyone else. Post the news on the VA web board. Fantasize nasty, erotic things about Kevin naked.

Okay, I'd do that last thing regardless of him coming to The Rubber City.

Geez, why am I still typing here? I have things to do!
