I loved Clerks and the latest installment looks pretty good from the previews. The original was released just about a year after I left my job as an itinerant Sound Warehouse employee. From the summer of 1990 to late 1992, I worked at three locations: Coit Rd in Richardson, the 10th and Lamar here in Austin, which is now a Whole Earth Provision Company and I spent the most time at the 49th and Burnet Road location. My favorite scene from Clerks was the montage of video customers, especially the one who says “Do you have that one with that guy who was in the movie that was out last year?” Classic. I can’t tell you how many times I heard nearly the same question.
It looks like there are still some balcony seats available for the premiere with a Q&A session with Smith in attendance at $37/person for non-AFS members after service charges. I didn’t want to see it that badly.

Here’s your chance to buy only one day of dust instead of three.
Austin City Limits Festival 2006 will release schedule grids and make a limited number of single day passes available tomorrow for $50 a pop plus service charges, shipping and your first born child.
If they put Ted Leo, Aimee Mann, Nada Surf, Flaming Lips, Massive Attack, Gnarls Barkley and Ween on the same day, maybe I’ll buy one. Otherwise, I’m sticking to my boycott and catching one or two of those on the inevitable alternate shows. There’s nothing on the Stubb’s schedule for that weekend yet. The festival runs Sept. 15-17th this year.
Update (4pm): I just got the official e-mail about tomorrow. I’ll say three things:
- They’ve definitely improved their e-mail system. I’d subscribed multiple addresses after having so many problems with the first pre-sale and I got all of them within 6 minutes of each other.
- The e-mail addresses the dust situation:
Shade and Water: Bring Your Mittens
As we speak, water cannons are irrigating the park every day, and the new sprinkler system is about to begin sating the thirsty earth. Also, as promised, our shade and water programs are taking shape to enhance your comfort and hydration. Can you say, “Brrrr…”? - You can also get to the schedule already: Day1, Day2, Day3
