If anyone else is planning to show up early, I'd be happy to try and meet up. I wasn't sure JC would ever make it to Seattle, so I'd been trying to figure out how to get a business trip to New York. I guess I can hold of with that. My wife and I are planning to show up in Belltown around 6pm and grab a bite before the show.

What has the attendance been for other JoCo concerts? I have to work until 8, but I was hoping to bail quickly and zip to Belltown afterwards and be a bit late. I'm wondering if it'll even be worth trying. The JewelBox theater website says it seats 20-60 people comfortably. What has the attendance been for other JoCo concerts?

I think I'll err on the side of neurotic caution and get to the theatre early. Nothing like take-out delivered to a street corner where you're waiting in a line! I'm sure we'll all have a chance to hang out a bit before the show while waiting for the doors to open. Should be fun!

I have friends who want to come, but won't be able to leave Bremerton until the 5:30 ferry though...and I feel bad about starting off without them. It looks like we can make it up there by about 6:50ish, but I'm not sure if you guys want to wait that long for us...I'll see if I can get them to join me on the 4:15 ferry though. Hope to meet some of you JC fans out there some way though! I agree, Jen and LoRe - dinner sounds great! 6:30 should give us time to eat peacably.

Because of getting hit while biking, I am missing Great Big Sea at Malkin Bowl in Vancouver, everything going on at Bumbershoot (including the emergency backup GBS show at the Flag Pavilion), and now JC at the Jewelbox. Someone please just shoot me now. I have the worst timing ever.

Zro, you have officially broken my small, black, lump of a heart. But I'm not sure there's anything I can do given the situation with the law and everything. And I've reserved Sunday night for hanging with the folks I know in town, so this will be the only show. The house manager is supposed to call me to talk about details and I'll bring it up with them, but I'm not optimistic... Erg. Zro, you have officially broken my small, black, lump of a heart.

I then asked when the box office opens, and he said that there's another show there prior to Coulton's at 4:30pm, so they probably won't open the box office again until 7:00 or 7:30. Tony, that place looks like it has potential (and anything in Belltown ought to be good). It'd be fun for the Jonathan Coulton fans to meet up and have an early-ish dinner together before standing in line for our tickets. Nothing makes standing in lines more tolerable than a sated stomach... and it could be nice meeting the fellow fans! Who wants to come?

But I'm a huge fan in Seattle and 15, I've been waiting forever for you to come to the area and would like to here more than just the you talking+1song that you will be doing at Bumbershoot, is there any way possible for me to get in with out needing to get a fake ID? Or maybe if your still in town do a Sunday show at one of the cafes that volunteered to host you. (Again, I know this is way to much to ask) Thank you very much. I know this is way to much to ask.
