The first 1,000 attendees(Pre-sale or purchase at the door) at Super Jersey Summer Spectacular on August 29th will receive a commemorative badge featuring Jay & Silent Bob designed in hand-painted form by RZP Art!
It's the largest Mallrats Cast Reunion in New Jersey history that includes a J&SB In-Costume Photo Op(with the Easter Bunny)!
Attending cast members-
I've never met Jason Lee, but I've followed him on social media for longer than I can remember. I did meet Ethan Suplee at FanExpo Philly years back and he was a GEM.
Jersey-area peeps, who's going?!?
While the ending of The Sopranos left my jaw on the floor(everyone thought the cable cut out), I feel like we all knew what it meant.
My Name Is Earl however just…stopped mid-story.
One of my favorite things about the 90s was seeing two completely unrelated companies doing promotional crossovers, like this Pizza Hut collector’s edition X-Men comic. Honorable mention goes to the X-Men Crunch & Munch promo.
Had these about 5yrs now. About 90% of the JOCSA WWF Hasbro figures I see have bubbles that are deep brown, cracked or pulling off the card.
I know that most go with "That kid is BACK on the escalator again" from Brodie or "It's not a schooner- it's a sailboat" from Willam.
Mine? "How is it that I go from the verge of hot Floridian sex with Brandi to Man of Steel coital debates with you in the food court?" from TS.
PS- The cookie stand is not a part of the food court.
I really do not want to pay $250 for a sealed box of Mallrats trading cards on eBay, BUT with the upcoming Mallrats Cast Reunion in New Jersey I want to find a way to expense it to the company account and do something fun at the convention with the cast.
Give me some ideas!
I only recently learned that Ve did Robin Williams' look in Mrs. Doubtfire which became a tie with Beetlejuice for my personal favorites.
Honorable mention goes to Galaxy Quest.
In addition to appearing for autographs & table photos as part of the broader Mallrats reunion at the end of the month in New Jersey, Jason & Ethan will now also be doing a duo photo op session for My Name Is Earl fans!
Each photo op ticket permits up to 4 people, however each person must have a valid admission ticket.
31 years ago you violently attacked me while I was just trying to make ends meet and pick up some extra cash for my girlfriend and sixteen kids.
3 broken ribs and a shattered pelvis, all due to a case of mistaken identity that you never apologized for.
My career as a house DJ at The Ground Round was RUINED and I had to sell my entire Death Of Superman run to make ends meet.
Nobody would hire me after I became a liability for no fault of my own. My life spiraled. I had to start driving for a traveling Donkey Show company. The smell still haunts me.
Now, you’re coming back to New Jersey.
Revenge has pointy ears and a $300/day carrot habit.
I’ll see you slackers on August 29th.
Not a LaserDisc. Not a Vinyl Record.
It’s a combination of both. (That’s an oversimplification)
Say hello to the Capacitence Electronic Disc.
Jay & Silent Bob are coming back to New Jersey along with Brodie, TS Quint, Trish The Dish and more on August 29th in Hillsborough!
Super Jersey Summer Spectacular is the largest one-day comic & pop culture show in New Jersey with 40,000 square feet of comic creators, independent artists, booths to buy/sell/trade comics, toys & card plus NINE original cast members from Mallrats...TEN if you count The Easter Bunny!
August 29th: 10am-7pm
Iron Peak Sports & Events in Hillsborough, New Jersey
31 years ago he was viciously attacked by two slackers when he was just trying to earn some extra cash for his 52 kids.
Now, Jay & Silent Bob are returning to finish the job.
A special In-Costume photo op with Jay, Silent Bob & The Easter Bunny is happening on August 29th at 4pm for Super Jersey Summer Spectacular in Hillsborough, New Jersey- the largest Mallrats cast reunion in NJ history!
It was one of the only reality competitions where the contestants were genuinely talented, the judges actually understood the craft, and the drama usually came from someone trying to fabricate an entire alien species out of foam latex in three days...not from producers forcing people to scream at each other over dinner.
The best part was how often the artists helped one another. Someone would be completely falling apart, and another contestant would stop working on their own piece to help mold, paint, or finish something. It somehow made the competition better instead of less interesting.
And the judging panel was legitimate. It felt like real talent that cared, not influencers or celebrities that were there just for the paycheck.
There really hasn’t been anything else like it.
No influencers. No public voting. No manufactured celebrity panel. Just ridiculously talented artists building monsters, superheroes, aliens, demons, and complete nightmare fuel from scratch.
Sorry for the rant. Ve Neill is making a convention appearance in August, and it sent me straight back down the Face Off rabbit hole.

I'm not a Reddit OG, and I've been nervous to post this here but it went over well on my personal social media so I figured I'd introduce myself and tell you all about how I completely went to shambles meeting Weird Al in Atlantic City a couple weeks ago.
I come from incredibly meager beginnings and along the way I've lost countless people in my life that helped to mould me- two of those people were my Aunt Suzie and my grandmother Marilyn aka "Nanny".
Aunt Suzie and Nanny introduced me to Weird Al & Dr. Demento when I was 6, in 1990.
As a literal child, I was instantly hooked on the fart noises and the accordion melodies of his parodies. From there, it was over and my 35+ year life as a Weird Al fan(mostly in private) began as I grew up getting into Ska, Punk Rock and Hardcore music.
Alapalooza was the very first album I bought with my own money from cleaning up trash around the trailer park I grew up in just outside of Atlantic City. My grandmother worked at the somehow still standing to this day Boscov's at the old Shore Mall, and I went there with my Aunt Suzie when I was 10yrs old...bought the CD and still have it.
The jewel case has been replaced no less than a dozen times, but one thing was constant over the last 33 years since buying that CD-
I had missed every single opportunity to see him live and have him sign this F&$%ING album....for 33years.
I've lost so much in my life. I have no grandparents left. My dad died when I was 5, my Aunt Suzie was killed in a car accident when I was 15, Nanny died when I was 25 and my stepdad took his life when I was 35.
Everyone who raised me is gone except Mom, who isn't in good health. The constant by my side for over 30 years has been Al's music, humor and wit.
When tix went up for this show last November, I committed to buying them within the first 5 minutes and vowed to let nothing stand in my way this time. Well, a bunch of $%&# happened and almost prevented me from going but I pulled it off.
The concert was everything I could've imagined, and I was surrounded by Hawaiian Shirts(totally in my element), but I was highly disappointed in the crowd itself. A ton of boomers just sitting down, kids sleeping in their parents laps...I mean I get it, but I was losing my mind the ENTIRE time. I even almost got taken out by security because I was overcome with joy while carrying my friend around singing.
Then...the Meet & Greet came.
I couldn't spoil the opportunity.
I waited to be dead last in line.
It was around 1AM when I finally walked into the room, and as soon as he turned to me I felt the lump in my throat. He said "Hi there!" in his high-pitched raspy stressy voice and I just broke down in front of him. You could imagine his shock I'm sure as a 6'3, 250lb man covered in tattoos sobs the moment he looks him in the eyes.
He sort of froze.
He asked me if I wanted a hug.
I ran up to him and just wrapped my arms around him and sobbed. This was the uncle that I never got but always wanted. This is the guy who taught me how to use humor to disarm my bullies as an overweight poor kid growing up. It felt like a 30 year detox of trauma, and I just thanked him up and down for being unapologetically himself.
Security and Al's team allowed me a couple extra minutes than normal because they saw how emotional I was, and I told Al about how everyone who introduced me to him is gone and I don't know where I'd be in life without his influence showing that laughter cures just about anything.
This photo was right after I got done hugging him and you can see how red my eyes are from crying like a baby.
I don't know why I felt compelled to post this here for so many strangers, but if you've read this far- GO MEET AL!!!! I will be sure to hit every single show he ever does near me and I'm so upset I had to wait 30 years, but it was SO WORTH IT!!

June 30th, 2023- Opening Preview Night in NYC.
3 Hours of pure bliss.
It was the only time I was able to see the production, but it has stuck with me for over 3 years now. I am an absolute FANATIC of all things BTTF and very protective of the franchise, I loved every single second of this...don't even get me started about the DeLorean flying out over the crowd!
