Fans of movies like “Clerks” and “Dogma” lined up for an oddball twist on the photo-with-Santa tradition Thursday and Friday as filmmaker Kevin Smith held court inside Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash dressed in his “Santa Bob” best. Fans who made a paid reservation got to meet him, get a photograph with the star (on his lap, Santa-style or not) and received a gift from the shop.

Two huge Smith fans, Robert Luceno and Luke Ross, who travelled from their homes Westchester County, New York described the experience as totally worth it. The tyke in the photo below seems to have found the experience a bit more questionable.
