thought people who were at the show might enjoy this — I stitched together the photos I took of the amazing theater together into a panoramic picture… can you find yourself?

Hey, I just wanted to say a belated thank-you for a fabulous show and apologize for leaving early. My husband and I slunk down the back stairs just after “Mr. Fancy Pants” because, sadly, we had to get back to our shop vac. No, seriously, our babysitter rows crew and she had to get up for practice at 5 a.m. Saturday, and we had an hour drive home to the depths of the suburbs. I was extremely disappointed to miss the end of the show, which I now see involved not only brains but also cake. Damn. Now I have to wait for the DVD.

The good news is that my husband and the two friends who came with us are now all total converts, so I won’t have to argue about whether it’s worth trying to find parking the next time you’re in the Bay Area.

Anyway, thanks! It was a fantastic show, and I can’t wait for the next one.

[...] we’ve finally pretty much recovered from last weekend’s live concert DVD shoot with Jonathan Coulton (and we didn’t even have that much to do; imagine how Coulton [...]

I’ve had THE BEST time!

I have just returned back to Israel and will be posting my videos and photos soon. First of which, Still alive on Rock Band:

Actually, the brown cake was moist, but not delicious or nondelicious or anything. It was very strange: it had no flavor at all. It looked like it could be chocolate or maybe spice cake, but tasted like neither.

But then I had a piece of the white cake with the lemon-custard filling, and it was indeed delicious. Or the lemon-custard filling was so delicious and moist it made the whole thing so.

That is all.

Not only a great musical experience, but video games, cake, actual physical CDs, zombies, dolls (creepy), half-pony/half-monkey monsters, Andy Bates, Paul and Storm, and most importantly, Jonathan Coulton!

It was worth every minute of the drive to and from Southern California to be a part of this night. Especially since it will likely be one of the last opportunities we get before our first baby arrives. - P.S. I think we’ve found our baby dedication song. Thanks, JC.

Eric, that epicenter title is still up for grabs until he plays Silicon Valley itself!

It was awesome and totally worth the flight from Seattle! The upstairs balcony seats were rather crappy, though. I can’t believe getting there an hour before the show started meant being one of the last people in the theater. JoCo fans are even more dedicated than I thought!

p.s. I already have my tickets for the Seattle show. If it sells out and you play a second night, I’m buying tickets for that show too.

Thank you for coming to SF! Thank you for cake! Thank you for being awesome!

I hope that some of our balcony footage from the show is useful. Or maybe the KneeCam coming in over the bridge — unfortunately the light was really crappy - so probably not.

I cant believe I missed this….I live 20 minutes away!!! Now I know why you quit your job to become a rock star…SCREW WORK!!!

After watching those videos, it pains me to see that I wasnt there to experience such awesomeness!

come back soo!!!

Seriously, if you have a show on the east coast anytime soon, and want to play the Rock Band version of Still Alive, I’d love to play Expert guitar/bass or medium (possibly hard) drums. It doesn’t make you look good when your bandmates are failing out.

And you can be sure that I’m buying that song. Then nailing simultaneous guitar/vocals (X/H) and sending it to youtube.

And when can I preorder this DVD? I needs me my JoCo!

A truly incredible show! I hoped we proved that SF is the epicenter of JoCo fandom. Thanks!

Yeah San Francisco is a great town. You know you should come back and do it again some time. I was visiting San Fancisco while you were playing, but the tickets were sold out. It was torture knowing you were in the same town playing live and I had to sit and play DS. Come back soon you know you’ll sell out ticketmaster that’s for sure.

That was a really, really fun show. I’ve never heard Jonathan in better voice — he was workin those pipes. And the audience was rowdy, witty and game. Paul and Storm played a great opener — the Nun Wrestling song was hilarious — and provided their usual excellent backing vocals. Kristen PWN3D on ukulele and took the greatest one-note solo I’ve ever heard. The whole thing was utterly film-worthy and should make a great vid.

Yay!

Really a fun show, and a much better venue than the first SF show at Cafe du Nord. Seemed like you were having a good time too, no doubt all that was going on made it a little higher-stress than a typical show. I'm sure there are a million photos, but I took a few from the balcony that I think turned out okay (all CC-BY). My favourites:

Jonathan, thank you for letting me realize my geek fantasy of singing backup vocals (and robot vocals) on Chiron Beta Prime! And to everyone else in the crowd, thank you for making me feel so adored! It truly was a fantastic moment, and I will remember it forever.

I took some video with my digital camera, and it turned out pretty good… even the sound!

I just uploaded the first of a few to YouTube (Jonathan, lemme know if you or the venue don’t want this uploaded)

see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZafHt285gE

i’ve got pictures of my piece of cake, too, and some other stuff. I’ll comment here again when that’s uploaded.

Thank YOU, man. It really was a great show. I’ve told some friends that if I have to I will buy their tickets for them so they can attend the next time you’re in town.

I don’t know what I can say that won’t just sound like fangirl gushing. The show was heaps of fun and amazing. A full account can be found on my blog.

Also, is it too late to send in footage?
