Of course, I would be freaking late to this AMA. Damn it, I hope you get to see this, Kevin!
Several years ago, you came to Crystal Lake, IL to do a charity performance of An Evening with Kevin Smith, in support of the Raue Center for the Arts. I believe your aunt is part of the board, and this small little venue was raising money for a projection screen to help keep the venue open. It started out early, with a screening of "Clerks", and then after a small break, you came on stage. You literally stayed until 2:30 am, on a Sunday, and had the entire audience in stitches with your stories. You invited the crowd to come down the aisles and ask you questions, in which it took about 45 minutes to answer each fucking question.. and it was glorious. Your "It's ropey!" story still sticks with me, and my husband and I use it to this day whenever we're talking about epic shits. Of course, because of your generosity and time, the center was able to raise the funds, and it still remains open to this day.
So, not a question, but just a statement of gratitude and adoration - my husband and I are huge, huge fans of your work and to this day is our favorite show that we have seen. This small town in IL is grateful that you were able to help the arts survive, and you are an amazing person for doing this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Would be the first in line if you ever came back to do another show :)
