Kevin Smith and Paul Thorn
They are my two obsessions. I'm not really sure if that's the right word. Maybe they are a hobby. A curiousity. Whatever they are I sure spend a ton of time and money paying for tickets for their shows (movies for Kev and concerts for Paul). Then I spend more money on CDs, shirts, and any other related items (inaction figures, magnets, buttons, stickers, posters).
My dream is for Kevin and Paul to meet. It one of those things in life that I think has to happen. Both men are incredible story tellers. They know how to entertain an audience. They know how to turn their own life experiences, good or bad, into something that is relevant for many people and it's pure entertainment at the same time.
I have been reading, studying and watching what Kevin Smith has done ever since I first saw Clerks when it came out. Reading his words have led me to write my own for others to see. He makes me laugh, think and sometimes cry.
I was lucky enough to see Paul Thorn for the first time in concert about 17 months ago. Since then I have seen him perform 16 times in 6 different states. His shows are the best of seen. Paul writes one hell of a song (with the help of Billy Maddox) and the band (Doug Kahan, Jeffrey Perkins, Michael Graham and Bill Hinds) is top notch.
These guys could create something amazing together. Paul, as a character, would be great on screen. Kevin's words could develop into some cool lyrics.
If I knew of a way to get these two guys together in a room and shut the door I bet what they created would be great. Or at least it would be some of the funniest stuff you've ever heard. Someday I would love to make that connection. It would be a selfish act that I would share with the world.
Next time I have to write about Don Dixon. He's been neglected here and he's the man that started all of my fan girl antics in the first place.
