Birthday!
On Saturday I turned 37 and boy do I feel terrific! 37 is the new 36!
I want to thank all the people who sent me nice messages, bought bananas, and paid tribute in various ways. Special thanks go out to those particularly dedicated minions who participated in this grass roots campaign to punch all media in the nuts with the fist of me. We didn’t make it to the Today Show this year, but I bet we made Ann Curry nervous, and I count that as an enormous victory.
Here are a couple of links to things that to me look suspiciously like bday tributes:
Molly of previous uke fame sent in this video of her struggling through Mr. Fancy Pants. I feel the same way when I play it, believe me.
And it wouldn’t be a birthday without a video from Spiff, this one for Chiron Beta Prime. I’m a huge fan of the “Yoink!” sound effect and have just now decided that I’m going to use it a lot more often in daily life. One bunny was harmed during the making of this film.
Even in France they celebrate my birthday, usually by making cards that have a picture of me dressed up like a French zombie mime. Here’s one of those from Jeremsoft, the translator of Re: Vos Cerveaux.
Many thanks to one and all. Onward.

I love the Chiron Beta Prime video, it's very well done.
Lex says
Molly's video is perhaps the most adorable thing I have seen today. And I'm the father of a one-year-old. So Molly, kudos to you.
Mark says
Happy (belated) birthday, Jonathan!
Apparently Molly has also had a birthday recently. Happy (belated) birthday, Molly!

I didn't even know it was your birthday -- many happies! :D
Justin says
I daresay the Chiron Beta Prime video is giving the Charlie Brown Christmas movie a run for it's money...
Trampas says

Yay you survived to 37! Although you don't look a day over 25 :)
Happy belated b-day JoCo.
M_pony says
Hey you're finally 37, I beat you to your birthday by three months (Like I've been doing for the past 37 years, evidently). Even still, you're talented and famous and I'm not. ;)
genkiboy says
Happy Birthday, JoCo! You know, 37 may be the new 36, but since 40 is the new 30, that means you'll be getting *younger* for the next three years. Good Job!
Gle3nn says
On my 37th birthday I realized I was turning 37 not 38. The whole year before I had thought I was older.
Again, Happy Birthday!

Hey! So, I'm a bit late, but I've been working on a video project for JoCo's birthday - finished last night and there are 5 videos of people ballroom dancing to different JoCo songs up on youtube. Will be mailing a fancy dvd copy to you, Jonathan, soon!
Here's Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance:

Welcome to Club 37, JoCo! On your birthday, I introduced a whole new victim^H^H^H^H^Hfan to you music.
manstraw says
I remember 37. A grand time. Less back aches, better vision. Ahhh. Yeah, so, I didn't get the memo, didn't know you were putting another mark on the wall. So happy B-Day.
And yeah, Molly, ain't she the bomb! :)
Giggleloop says
Happy belated birthday, JC! Great videos too. I gotta say, I love the harmony part on Chiron Beta Prime, it has a knack for getting stuck in my head. :)
Jonathan says
Happy B day JoCo!!! I'm trying my best to spread awareness in PA through my online cyber school.
P.S. If I win a chess tournament in my school, i get an Ipod so then I can buy all your songs ^-^
Grant says
37? In a row?
Jacob says
Cheers to you Johnathan, and kudos to Molly. Too funny.
Lindsay says
Just so you know, JoCo, I requested a song of yours to be played at Trivia this week in Harvard Sq, and lo and behold, Code Monkey came through in the 3rd round. Boston loves all 37 years of you!
James says
Happy Birthday! I loved the video's! Molly's was hilarious. I want to e-mail the Chiron Beta Prime Vid to all my friends! Only they would understand!!!
ouija repair says
What a great way to start the morning! Well done, Molly, Spiff and Jeremsoft. I hardly ever grin that broadly before the first cup of coffee is gone. To echo, Manstraw's point, enjoy 37, Joco. Those are the wonder years before the eyebrows go Andy Rooney on you.
Sarah says
Hope you had an awesome birthday..... and You rock :) Keep it up..
Roman V says
Maybe it would be easier to do it with that sampler do-hicky you seem to be using nowadays...
Sara says
Now I want to be a french zombie for next year's Zombie Walk!
Cerveeeeeeeeaaaaaaux.....
Nim says
Hey, happy birthday! Looks like my blog entry got sucked up as a comment. Sorry about that! At any rate, hope you had a great day!
BucketHatBobby says
Wow, big boy turned 37?
I hear in the U.S. of A, you can go in bars without a parent at 37.
Congrats.
Rachel says
Happy belated birthday! I'm so glad it was a good one.
Patrick M says
I like the developing Wolverine/Rogue dynamic between Coulton and Molly...
MOLLY: When you play Mr. Fancy Pants.. Does it always hurt?
JC: Every time...
Molly says
We need 4 (well, now 3) more people to comment here! We're so close to having 37 comments! NO WIRE HANGERS!
Mark says
I must say, 1970 was a good year. The Unix epoch always made so much *sense* to me!
