View this post on Instagram I shudder to share this, ‘lest I run the risk of someone telling me to grow up (I can’t) or to take #covid_19 more seriously (I already do), but... If the Pandemic passes, we aim to open the new #smodcastle in the ol’ #quickstop building in #leonardonj this July (on the 10 year anniversary of the original SModcastle that the great @cameltoad and I launched in L.A.)! Rick Derris himself @odblues7 is hard at work with the construction and painting (see the video on my @youtube channel), and now the @madeyalooksigns team of Father and Son have put up our window art! I know the world’s on fire at the moment, but if it ever goes back to some semblance of normal, I’d like to still have things to look forward to. And I look forward to making something fun with my friends again - a place to record live podcasts, hold script readings, screen movies and host standup nights! All a mere fifty feet from where I shot my first film! It’s a dopey dream - one that we put in motion before the #corona came - but we’re gonna keep dreaming it while dreaming is still an option. I’ve tried worrying, but worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due. Between worrying and dreaming (both of which merely invent ideas about possible futures, not the inevitability or even the likelihood) I enjoy the latter more. #KevinSmith #ernieodonnell #newjersey #thefuture A post shared by Kevin Smith (@thatkevinsmith) on Mar 26, 2020 at 1:27pm PDT
