It was a great show, albeit too short (IMO). JoCo, I've flown down from MI to see you in Austin, and this time I didn't go to Cactus (suck it, waiting in line!) but dropped what I was doing Sunday night to show up 20 min into your show at Emo's. So worth it. As always. Tan Sharpe 4 lyfe! Anyone get footage from the Emo’s show?

Thank you so much for starting my spring break off so amazingly. I sang along with almost every song, and can only hope I can go to another one of your concerts in the future. I am saddened, however, that I was one of the only two people with lighters left for concert purposes. Anyway, I love you music, and am saving up to buy some of your albums as soon as possible.

I had no idea what I was in for, and just showed up off the street because Yelp pointed me here! I liked the atmosphere and small, connection-oriented feel you have with the performer on stage. It was like a TCP show, rather than those large stadium UDP shows where you think that dot on the stage is the guy who is singing. Ummm, I don't know how to work in ICMP here... Anyway, I actually showed up because I was in from out of town and looking to find some female companionship for my lonely hotel room in Austin :-( Fortunately, the girl at the register let me buy in, even though I didn't have a ticket. The bouncer guy told her I would be the last admitted. Maybe destiny brought me here, because I am totally a comp sci dude. A kid in high school warned me that the eccentric performance might throw me off a little bit and seem random, but his worries melted away when I told him I had just written a stenography tool in python to leak data covertly via various text-based formats :-) So, I didn't make it back to my hotel room with a lovely lady, but I did buy Coulton's 4CD box set for $50 at the show on my way out and even listened to the whole thing on my drive up to Dallas. Great stuff! Keep it up. Oh, and don't forget little Michael's performance at Cactus Cafe. Definitely one of the most entertaining ad-hoc mishaps I have ever witnessed. Take care... I was the last person let into the packed Cactus Cafe show to see Honathna Coulton. I had no idea what I was in for, and just showed up off the street because Yelp pointed me here! I liked the atmosphere and small, connection-oriented feel you have with the performer on stage. It was like a TCP show, rather than those large stadium UDP shows where you think that dot on the stage is the guy who is singing. Ummm, I don’t know how to work in ICMP here…

We saw you for the first time in St. Louis and I got to help out with Chiron Beta Prime. A highlight of my life. I was thrilled that when I moved to the DC area you came to play and I got to see you again so soon. Both were great shows! I'm looking forward to seeing the picture of the plush angel.

I'm so glad you posted this clip so quickly after the show. I can actually see a highly pixellated form of myself and sporksmith in the audience:) (we're at one of the first rows of tables in front of the stage) awesome show, definately worth the drive from pittsburgh:) Also you guys rawk with your harmonies That was awesome.

Just so you know, we went to see Styx last Thursday and your show was better. Their's was sort of like listening to album at high volume and staring at a moving poster. I think they played maybe 8 songs. I left having enjoyed the show more than I expected, but without any greater appreciation than I had before. Your show was more like you were playing for friends and telling stories about your songs. I like that a whole lot more and left a bigger fan than when I walked in (if that was possible). So there you have it. Jon Coulton is better than Styx! Another vote for a bigger venue next time you’re in Austin, although I really did enjoy the sound at the Cactus.

Too bad you could't make it to the party. It was pretty much winding down by the time we got there anyway. So, guess what? We were running out of tape/battery by the second set so we didn't get any of Chiron Beta Prime. (I'm still mad at my husband for this one) Hey, it was awesome to see you at the Cactus Cafe last night. Too bad you could’t make it to the party.

I love the bit of laughter alone backstage at the end of the video. Despite being away from home so much, you must be having such fun. Kudos on realizing a dream (your talent, ingenuity and hard work certainly came in handy in that regard :)). HA! I love the bit of laughter alone backstage at the end of the video.
