This past weekend we got the chance to see Jay Mewes….you know Jay and Silent Bob, yeah that Jay! And we had a blast, it was funny because I kept telling myself that if he ever came to the Bay area I was going to go.
Then I see on his Instagram page that he was going to the San Jose Improv in 3 days! It was short notice but fuck it I NEEDED to see this. There were two comedians that went on before him, I wish I wrote down their names because they were good. If you walk out of a show quoting a comedian and still laughing about it they are good.
Jay did not do comedy per say, it was just him telling his story in his way. I love how candid he is about his life, his matter of fact way of his delivery and his level of inappropriateness just touches me in a way no man should every. But in this case I will make an exception.
He spoke about growing up with his grand mother, how he forced himself onto Kevin Smith and made him love him, and how he said that he did not feel the fame until after the movie Dogma. Which was his 5th movie…..he did not feel the fame until his FIFTH MOVIE!
I am not going to spoil his show, it is worth the money. I will also say that he is an awesome guy. They did not post that there was going to be a meet and greet after the show but they were selling merchandise and he came out and signed pictures, took selfies and even talked with us. We mentioned we were from Elizabeth and he lit up, I swear we probably bumped into him while we lived there! And for the record, if he comes back I will go see him again!
I have been MIA for a little while, just my usual lazy self I guess. I have been on point with my gym, work is cool and the kids are good. So no real complaints, just need to come here an play a little bit more. So until next post; journal often, journal more and take pictures of everything.
