You all know Kevin Smith as a pretty sweet filmmaker, but did you also know that he’s a virtuoso public speaker? Some guys play the violin, he paints pictures with words, and he does it so well that he’s doing it at Carnegie Hall. Hey he’s earned it with practice, practice, practice.

Smith just announced on his website that he’ll be conducting a new Evening With Kevin Smith at the one and only Carnegie Hall on June 17, 2009 in Midtown Manhattan. It’s a legendary venue where Smith will almost certainly preside over a legendary experience.

So here’s the deal film geeks. You want in? Then get moving. Tickets go on sale April 16th, today, at 11AM. Roll your ass out of bed and make plans to see Kevin before they're gone. You’ll be able to order tickets online right here at the appointed time, or just head over to the View Askew info page over here for pricing, directions, and all of that.
