-SATURDAY-

After a relentless day at work (TGI Friday's) i bailed early to hit the road northbound to good ol' Brooklyn, NY. To crash the night, and to pick up my bestest bud Jeff. After a good night's sleep we head out early Sunday morning, heading to a place we have never been to, and hopeing to God we could find it.

-SUNDAY-

As luck would have it, we indeed did find the Stash, and decided to grab a keen parking space about a block down from it. We grabed our shoulder packs, bookbags, cameras and other stalker equipment and made the 150 yard walk to the Stash. When suddenly we were cut off by Kevin and his beautiful wife. We were blown away, not because they were walking in front of us, but because kevin was only wearing shorts and a tee-shirt! Needless to say, my heart went out to the poor bastard, so i spent a cool amount in the stash, and even paid to talk to Walt Flanagan (which is kinda worth the five bucks, if you care for the 'shut the hell up' look he gives you). Anywho, so news gets around that Jeff and I can't find our way to the Holiday Inn, and sure enough, two adorable women swing to the rescue. Courtney and... and... uh... her firend (sorry!). So we are off following the red Mirage to a happy place, and thus the tour begins. We are lucky enough top drive, and sure enough, we get hooked up with two bad-ass passengers. Mike and Dave. We take a large amount of pics (www.dramamonkey.com the pics will be up by wednesday) at Victory Park (whoever has the swings from the swingset... please put them back, you bastards!) and Quickstop only to end the tour eatting at the Marina Diner, which AFTER we eat there Vincent warns us of possible illness, or even death! Thanks Vinny! Soon however Jeff and i return to our lush hotel (Red Roof Inn) and then move over to the Holiday inn, where we take on drinking and conversing. After buying each other rounds, Mike, Jeff and myself take a seat, and meet Chris and Brad, two outstanding gentlemen who build some Viewaskew website, our something... (stalkers). I tell them i'll give them pics and all is cool. After sobering up a bit, and meeting Jen (yeah Jen, REMEMBER US?!) We call it a night, and i drive Mike's drunk ass back to his pad, then Jeff and I's back to ours.

-MONDAY-

A LOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGG Day to say the least. First of all it started by Jeff and I picking up our boy Mike once again, and heading to the theater. We found a cool ass parking spot about 2 blocks away, in the parking lot of a mini mall. I feel for all you people who paid money for the parking meters... i really do. So... we stand in line and i take pictures and walk all over the place, and Jeff and Mike take turns beating the shit out of me, it was fun. When Jen and Adam (who again failed to mention us in HER story) joined us in line instead of waiting in the VERY far end. Soon after many shots of Jen (Jen's Porn site will be up in another month), and many bad jokes, the line moves forward. (also thanks Lenny for being the Monkey in my life this weekend!) Kevin is there to give everyone a "good morning" and a "thanks for coming" with a sincere smile. Jen walks by Kevin when he says "Arn't you supposed to be in school?" the only thing she says in response is "Adam, wait up!" :) We sit, and soon the festivities begin! Kev, walks in and the crowd goes wild, until he tells us to shut the fuck up, but in a very "i love you all, thanks for coming" kinda way. He introduces the VA crew (which you should know who was there by now, being this is a week late. Everyone takes turns saying 'Hi", and Dogma begins. Afterward, me and my dumbself decide to ask every question that pops in my head, which totaled 8. Oh, and JUST in case you wondered as DJANDEE found out, the angels DID get their cocks back after their wins were cut off. Then it was time for the other flicks. Drawing Flies Q & A. Where Lee said to me "Good Question!" (the only time i heard that sentance all weekend, and boy was i glad to be the guy that recieved it, for the question and more details go to www.dramamonkey.com) A Better Place was AMAZING! I loved every secoind of it. Mike Jeff and I were on the edges of our seats for every second of it. I Am so stoked this is getting a DVD release! Soon, break, and we were off to the best fuckin' eatery this side of Wendy's, Wendy's. We then returned to find Brian O'halloran signing and talking to this person and that. of course i had to get my pic with him, cause i am a retard. Then it was Clarks the animated Series, which were the best 4 cartoons i think i have EVER seen! Then it was the other flicks, including Big Helium Dog, who Kevin Smith's performance, alongside Michael Ian Black's was AMAZING! I busted a gut laughing! (clap on, clap off) then we decided to stick around for Chasing Kevin... which again really wasn't worth the stay, i sat bored braiding Mike and Jeff's pubies... i still don't think they know. Then it was back to the bar, ah the bar, the only place you can get kicked out after 20 minutes of your arrival! So the gang went up to Sutie 509, and i must say i met the most interesting person ever. Brian O'halloran's girl Diana. We sat and talked for like, 8 hours nonstop, it was amazing. The one true part of the weekend i wished that would continue a bit longer. But it ended around 5;30am when Brian, Diana and myself at the same time decided to bail. Though we talked a bit in the parking lot, it was a sad good bye to them, they really are great together. Anywho, back to the hotel for about 6 hours of sleep,

-TUESDAY-

back to rooklyn, then immediatly leaving and going straight back to Delaware.

P.S. There's so much to tell, and trust me it will be told (www.dramamonkey.com tell your folks) but in due time! -Darrell
