[...] Friday, October 6, 2006 events Oct. 6th – The opening reception for the Plush You! show at Schmancy and Fancy + Pants. The show will be up through November 2nd. Oct. 11th – John Hodgman will be at the Elliot Bay Book Company with the paperback edition of his book The Areas of My Expertise. I believe he’ll be bringing along the amazing Johnathan Coulton, making this a night to avoid missing if at all possible. updated: Jonathan Coulton has announced he’ll be doing a show at the Showbox the night of the reading. We went to the last show there, during Bumbershoot weekend, and it was excellent. Details. And here are some good suggestions for Autumn-y things to do near Seattle. [...]

The turnout was actually not as lame as some would lead you to believe. I’m pretty sure the Jewelbox was at or near capacity by the end of JC’s set. There were empty seats at the beginning, but not so much by the end.

Argh. I’m not used to checking the website as frequently now that TAW has ended. Had I known, I definitely would have gone last night. I’m part of the lame turnout, I suppose. I suck. Alas.

The show was really well done although clearly Mr. Hodgman trapped a couple of your would-be lighter-wavers at his sinister “book-signing” and general girl-grab.

Your voice was in excellent shape, although several female observers were heard to say that you looked “tired” followed immediately by suggestions of how they might comfort you and help you rest easy.

You own the town.

I really wanted to go, but I couldn’t swing a babysitter (I tried). Hopefully the low turnout won’t discourage future visits.

Embarrassingly lame turnout last night. Seattle, wth happened? My wife and I almost didn’t go, thinking it would be sro. I’m glad we took the chance. Another great show, and we added a fourth cd to our collection.
Jonathan, please come again, preferably on a non-work night.

Hey Johnathan, we saw you (only briefly) accompanying Hodgman last night at Elliott Bay…just wanted to let you know we very much enjoyed your songs, and will be supporting your experiment with purchases quite soon.

Man, what’s with the timing? I won’t be in Seattle until after Christmas, and you know how important seeing you play is to me.

When are you going to play in San Fransisco?

Dang it, just got back from Seattle, can’t make it on a weekday. Maybe I’ll be able to catch you when I travel to your side of the States.

You are officially an international star. When are you touring Israel next?

I’ll be there with a lot less clothing on, I tell you what.

Though, yeah, considering the previous SRO, maybe I’ll hang out and have a drink in the bar and come in if there’s space. Else, rocking in absentia.

I’m thrilled to hear you’re coming back to our little town so soon, and I’m glad it will be at the same wonderful Jewelbox theater.

You know, for the briefest moment, I seriously considered not going. For the following reason: The Jewelbox is small, and it was standing-room-only last time you were there. If I don’t go, that means that’s room for one more Seattle-ite in that tiny little place. A chance for one more new JoCo fan on this coast.

Then I thought… Who am I kidding? This is America, and I can do what I darn well want to do. And what I want to do is go see Johnny C again.

You’re gonna rock Seattle to its geeky little knees again?! Hoooooray! Holler if you need anything.

HELL YEAH! Now that I know where it is, count me there! WOOOOOOOOOHAAA!

I’ll be there to rock with you, though I was going to try and make the book signing too, so it’ll be tricky.

Welcome back indeed!

Are doors opening at 7:45, then? Given how packed the last show was, I want to make sure we’re there in time.

Yay! welcome back! I know I’m ready for another JoCo show I might even be able to make this Hodgman reading as well! I’ll be sure to bring extra monies so that I can buy the 3 cd’s I’ve not got, and possibly a Re: Your Brains shirt. I look forward to rockin’ out with you again at our favorite Jewelbox.
