Wednesday night I made my way to Ridgefield for the Jay and Silent Bob “Aural Sects” tour, I wasn’t entirely sure of what to expect, but it was essentially a live version of them doing a podcast. We had gotten an email the night before saying that there would be no audio or video recording allowed but that photos were ok, but I felt that had to be wrong so I didn’t bring my camera, just my phone, but it turned out that was true. I still felt a bit awkward taking photos anyway so I only took a handful and they’re not all that great because I felt like they could see me and it was just awkward.
The show started with Kevin playing several voice messages from CT native Justin Long trying to give him topics to talk about with a CT crowd including praying mantis, John Mayer and some local spots. The rest of the night was a lot of them just telling various stories of their travels and their life.
To end the evening, they auditioned 3 audience members and chose 1 to join them on stage to read a comic book with them as the role of Alan Rickman’s Metatron.
Overall the evening was a lot of laughs, a little bit of serious, and a ton of fun. It sounds like they’ll be trying to do another tour this year revolving around DOGMA as they got the rights back to the movie.
