The Clerks director will put hundreds of costumes and other items from his films up for auction in April at the Pasadena Convention Center to raise distribution funds for his new film Red State. According to TMZ, auction items will include the &amp;#039;Bluntman and Chronic&amp;#039; costumes from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as well as Bartleby&amp;#039;s angel wings from Dogma.
