NEWS: KEVIN SMITH CANCELS SMORGY IN HALIFAX, JAN. 26
Please be advised that Kevin Smith has cancelled his upcoming podcast event, SMorgy, that was to take place this Saturday, Jan. 26 at The Spatz Theatre in Halifax. All tickets will be refunded by etixnow. Despite efforts to keep the event alive, Sonic Concerts apologizes for the inconvenience to all ticket holders.
In a statement, Smith says:
Dear Would-Be SMorgy Attendees,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce
the canceling of this weekend’s SMorgy event. The blame for this lies
solely with me: first I had to kill Sunday for the TV thing that came
out of nowhere, and now I’ve gotta cancel Saturday as well.
Saturday’s cancellation is a bit of JERSEY
GIRL coming back to haunt me: my daughter Harley entered a battle of the
bands last week and has moved on to the finals. The show is this
weekend – same time as SMorgy. Had I not been the guy who made Ben
Affleck’s character give up a great job opportunity just to see his
daughter’s school play, I wouldn’t be making this call. But she’s 13
years old, she’s never played before a crowd this large, and I’ve only
got one kid: if I miss this moment to tell dick jokes with friends half a
world away, I’m a bigger asshole than if I cancel the event. So stuck
between and rock and a hard place, I apologize – I gotta do the Dad
thing here.
You see kids? It’s just like your parents always told you: There’s a consequence to having sex.
Love,
Kevin Smith
