If anyone’s interested, I’m scalping one ticket. It’s only me going, so don’t bother if you’re not going to be good company.

Requirements: $50, and be pretty cool.

Is there any chance of a second date being added?

If so, please email me at the address that will not be published.

Thanks!

Hey,
I’m Oded, from Israel. I happen to be in town for GDC and Wondercon, and I heard about this concert and got excited, but then got very disappointed for not being able to buy tickets…
Should anyone have an extra ticket to sell me, I would appreciate an email

Howdy all -
I’ve got my ticket for the show, but it looks like I’m the only one from my group of friends going. My wife wasn’t interested (and is 7 months pregnant to boot) either. This will be my first JoCo show, and it sure seems like it would be more fun with a group. I’m looking for some folks to hang out with before/during the show.

About me:
I’m a 33 year old Electrical Engineer. I’m also a PC gamer and lifelong geek. My friends seem to think I’m a fun guy, and they don’t freak out too much when I sing in public. I don’t drink or smoke (although I’m not sanctamonious about it). I live in the Sacramento area and will be driving down the day of the show.

If you wouldn’t mind a fifth wheel to your gang of geeks, drop me a line at:

The tickets may have lasted a little longer than they would have. Great American Music Hall sold however many they planned to sell on their site; then they put a link to tickets.com, with the instruction that if there weren’t any tickets there, it meant the show was sold out.

I already had mine but I was curious, so earlier this week I typed “jonathan coulton” into tickets.com’s search, and was told they had no such concert available. But for some reason I tried just “coulton”. Ah! John Coulton was playing GAMH in February, tickets available!

Plus the webmaster link at tickets.com wasn’t working. I emailed GAMH and got an “Oh my god! We’ll get that fixed!” email from them the next day.

So if any of you got your tickets from tickets.com in the last couple of days, thank the poor sad people who gave up when “jonathan coulton” produced no concert hits–

Damn! I’m glad you sold lots of tickets but bummed that I won’t be able to get tickets.

kerrin in the forums points out that the video will look even cooler if we have a lot of people wearing JoCo apparel, so if you’re going to the show, now’s the time to buy that cool t-shirt you’ve had your eye on. (Check the store on this site, and there are also some designs by Len on Zazzle.com.)

Oh for a teleporter, I’d be queuing already. I don’t care about not having a ticket, I’d have a teleporter, I’m sure I could trade it for one and a flight home again.

Can’t wait to see the DVD - I hope it will be available to download as well from somewhere.

Oh great. Every time I find hot new artist that nobody knows about he gets all famous and sells out.

So did you get the marching band for the show? Are they looking for a kazoo player?

Ooo, look–a reference in xkcd.

Thanks to that, “GLaDOS” is like #15 in Google Hot Trends today (it was higher).

Your tentacles are slowly entwining everything.

So, will we have to bribe you for specific songs, or should we just hoot “Mandelbrot!!!” during the encore?

Nobody’s yet pointed out that it’s disc, not disk?! They’re very different things, I promise! (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_of_disc)

Anyway, we’ve got our tickets and will be flying in the night before. (We’re also responsible for a total of six of those tickets, so if you’re one of those unfortunate people who procrastinated a little too long, blame us!)

I could get behind a flying monkey-slingshot that *didn’t* scream. [Speaking as someone who has a screaming monkey-slingshot in the house.]

Congratulations on the sell-out crowd! That should be some fun.

Just want to say my recommendation of flying screaming slingshot monkeys (and offer of my extra FSSM) still stands. Saw Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller in Milwaukee, and they are traveling with three flying screaming slingshot monkeys. It’s clearly the thing to do if you’re a superstar doing a largely acoustic tour.

You could go them one better by actually having the nerve to fly yours. They were content with the screaming part.

Well, if you are going to swing down to LA, you should then turn around and come up north to Portland (or Seattle, I’m not picky). I’m sure I could sell at least 10 tickets in Seattle, especially if you go back to the Triple Door

Congratulations on selling out

I’m guessing people going to GDC figured out you were playing at the same time.

Apologies!

Hate to get nitpicky Chris, but since no-one actually knows what it stands for, so even Deer-Velvet Dictophone would be correct

Well, that settles the conflict I had. Your concert is the same night and time as the Video Games Live concert happing at Nob Hill Masonic Center. A really hard decision I don’t have to make! :/

So… second night performance in SF? Please?

I’ve been dying to hear the new song. I hope nothing stands in your way.

Congratulations on the sold out show. Come back to Austin and I’ll contribute 2 people to selling that show out.
