Hopefully, this is the last time we see this graphic. This is a photo op mess, but trust that we are currently fixing it. We lost three guests due to filming production. Diane Guerrero is stuck filming a current project and cannot leave the set to join us. Famke Janssen had to leave another convention yesterday and for filming. She will be filming Friday evening and into Saturday cancelling her appearance as well. Both of their individual photo ops are currently being refunded by Yapsody. If you had Orange is the New Black trios or Family Madrigal trios, a portion of those photo ops will be refunded this evening as it was too late to replace her spot in the trios. The Jean Grey x2 photos are being refunded tonight as well. Finally, Patina Miller was extended on her project also and would have to fly from the east coast early Sunday morning and be with us for only a few hours. We all decided to postpone her appearance until her schedule freed up. All of her solo photo ops and the Madam Secretary duos are being refunded by Yapsody shortly. But all is not lost for the Hazbins. We made some feverously calls and have a wonderful surprise to announce at 9pm. All is not lost, and we are not afraid. :)

After the show floor closes at 7:00pm, this late-night panel is your chance to hang with the legendary filmmaker, podcaster, and pop-culture icon in full after-hours mode. Expect Kevin to dive deep into his View Askewniverse, share stories from the set of Clerks, Mallrats, and beyond, and deliver the kind of candid conversation that only happens after the show and the regular crowd heads home. It’s the director’s cut you’ve always wanted—funny, honest, and probably a little filthy. We will start with some opening remarks by the Honorary Mayor of Puyallup, Ming Chen. The event is completely free and open to everyone with a Saturday badge, but because of the adult subject matter and language, we strongly recommend it for audiences 18 and up. This event is festival seating on the new turf surrounding the stage and nearby beer garden. For those who want to guarantee a prime spot right up front, a limited number of reserved seats are available for just $25—first come, first served, and they won’t last long. Come early, stay late, and join us at the Showplex stage for what promises to be one of the most entertaining evenings of the year. Kevin Smith after hours? Yeah… you’re gonna want to be there.
