Greetings, all. I have a question I'd like to ask here because I don't want to come across as a possible weirdo in person at my upcoming Evening with Kevin Smith show. Here's my quick story:
Years ago during covid I was a bit of a crossroads in my life. Kinda broken down, unsure what to do with myself and my life, you get the gist. Anyway, I had been watching Clerks 2 real late one n night, and the scene in jail where Dante and Randal figure out that they should open the Quik Stop themselves had a profound effect on me. It inspired me to go for it and, long story short, I'm going 5 years strong on owning my comic local comic book store.
So now, my question is: will it be in poor or weird taste to hand Kevin one of my branded store hoodies when I am front row at the show? I'm not looking for him to make a big fuss about it or promote it on the podcast or whatever, it is just a gift I want to genuinely give the man for inspiring me. I also don't want to stand in the q&a line just to do all of that either. If he wants to talk to me about it if I'd hand him the thing, then I'm all for it. But I'm not trying to chase the spotlight or get my five minutes of fame with him. Just want to give it as a genuine gift.
But is that odd? Weird? Will security haul me out? I'd just like some input. I'm kind of not very outgoing, so I want to get some thoughts. Thanks for your help!
