He responded not in the Comments section, but with a full post to me and anybody else who might consider asking him the same question. He did set up an account at Eventful to gauge interest in various markets. Just click here, enter your e-mail address and reply to the confirmation, and hopefully he’ll book a show in the nation’s capital. Hopefully on a night that doesn’t coincide with a DC United match.

Where'd you see that? To join a demand it just needs an email address so it can verify you're a real person (you get sent a single email validation message) and so the demand can actually be counted (otherwise it'd be so easy to "stuff the ballot box", as it were). Or, you can join a demand by becoming a user of Eventful, in which case it asks you to sign up (with an existing Eventful name and password if you've already signed up) or register (if you're new to Eventful). As for your location: It guesses where you are based on your IP address, that's all. So actually, it's guessing the location of your Internet Service Provider, not where you are exactly. Most often, your ISP is located in the town you're in, so it guesses correctly. Once in a while it guesses wrong (because the ISP is based in New York, or somethig, or worse, it just shows "United States" or "Great Britain"). It wants your password? Where’d you see that?

I'm that one guy in San Diego with the first demand in the system, so I thank you for noticing it. One thing you can do to help (aside from the actual singing part) is to post a message on each demand with the number of people who'll need to demand you before it's worth the bother to go. For instance, 15 people in San Diego might be enough, but Moscow could require at least 10,000 screaming fans. (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149460/quotes" rel="nofollow">with blackjack! and hookers!</a>) That way we know how many fake accounts to create, errr, friends to encourage in order to make something happen.
