That links to Part 1, there are links to Part 2-6 on the right under Daily Posts.

Shit is heartbreaking and extremely well-written.

Since the gossip sites have seen fit to print only the portion of the Jason Mewes story I told at UPenn (that portion being what said sites seem to feel is the only interesting aspect of Mewes

Thanks for this, I've only read the first part, but it was very well written and peaked my interest. It's nice to get a look at the entire story instead of hearing little blurbs here and there.

There better be. I started reading the first one and couldn't stop. Interesting writing and a nice glimpse into the part of peoples lives you never see. Thanks for the link Ty.

These are dope. I haven't really liked a Smith film since Dogma but he's got a writing career regardless of dubious direction.

i never really thought the guy was a great director but he sure is a good writer. i have been hooked to this blog for the past hour or 2 and can't stop reading about mewes' downward spiral.

The Highlands is pretty friggin white trash and Jason Mewes is quintessential Jersey Shore white trash.

serious. after each part I couldn't believe it would get any worse, and part 6 sounded like a good end right up until that last line

If you've never seen the "an evening with kevin smith" dvd i suggest you do so.. the stories about meeting prince are hillarious !

kevin has a way with a story and dialog. i'd like to see jay and bob in a movie with tenascious d as thier rivals...

I watched half of the 1st dvd a couple days ago and turned it off.. he is kinda funny but he was being a total dickhead to his fans who worship him.. I thought he was acting like an insecure lil bitch.
