Thanks, Jonathan! I'm hoping Portland Succubus ends up becoming a Coulton song, but you'll have to tell whether a night sleeping in that former brothel was enough to inspire it. (I can just imagine it: a ghostly, invisible hand turns the "hot" and the "cold" water spouts on and off in alternation, with an otherworldly shriek of "OWW!! and "BRRR"...) Spartacus is waiting... (I'm the one who shouted that, by the way) Please return to the Pacific Northwest sometime! Even if you never make it to Eugene, extending my commute from Salem to Portland was worth the trip.

It's not your brains she wants to eat. As someone else noted, it also rhynes with "one of us" - if you want Joan Osborne's lawyers to bother you. Don’t worry too much about the Portland succubus.

I don't think they've ever had that many people there for a show -- especially that many geeks. One of Colin's friends asked me who is JoCo. He told me that they were worried not many people would come because the tickets were pretty high for a show there. I think if it was a $20 cover we would've still packed the house.

We were soft rocked. We were folk rocked. We were geek rocked. We were even moon rocked. The best part was that we got to help him get started on a song about his haunted hotel room with a sink that has hot and cold water coming out of faucets on opposite sides of the sink (I think it'll be on Thing a Year volume I). A tip for other cities who want a lot of encores: If you don't let him have a green room, he'll have no choice but to keep on playing. Eventually he said that the 2 liters of beverages he had during the show were starting to get the better of him, so we let him ... um ... go (Jonathan: I hear NASA has technology to take care of that). Thanks again!! That was a great show. We were soft rocked. We were folk rocked. We were geek rocked. We were even moon rocked.

The encore was also quite dramatic. Our table was in the front and on your left. Great seats, considering half the crowd had to stand. Only drawback was from that angle it's difficult to see the guitar chords. Here's one example of how free music pays off. I downloaded the song "Millionaire Girlfriend" last summer. After it played while my MP3 player was in shuffle mode, I thought to myself "I wonder how the Thing a Week is going. He's probably got an entire album out since I last checked." So I visited the website and saw the Portland show. I contacted friends, who contacted other friends. 11 of us showed up. At least 1 bought the entire set of Coulton music.
