And that’s the news so far - Lots of other stuff in the works though,
including a return trip to the UK sometime in October, and the release
of the concert DVD sometime in the Fall. More details and updated
information can be found on my shows page
(jonathancoulton.com/shows). As always, I have probably made
mistakes, so please check my work before you buy tickets.
And you know what? Take the rest of the day off, it’s really nice
outside.

Cheers Brian @Happy Being Miserable Promotions

I know returning to Burlington, VT is doubtful, but what about Montreal? Even Amherst, MA isn’t too far a drive…
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Needs moar ‘o hai oh”. It’s warm here this time, I promise…..
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Look for a possible Columbus at some venue we really don’t want to play on June 6th….Cinci at 20th Century possible for 5…..
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
…I’d kill for a Columbus date!
In other news, it’s pretty much a requirement for a First of May playdate isn’t it? You need to plan it somewhere with an outdoor venue. LOL
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I was actually asked to leave a coffee shop for being disruptively loud and boisterous when I read in the Phoenix New Times that you’re playing a show in Phoenix. It was worth it.
I hope you enjoy the weather while you’re here. I’m from the Northeast myself, and before I moved out here, I used to think the “But it’s a DRY heat!” line was going to be a load of puckey. As it turns out, it’s actually surprisingly pleasant… y’know, for a desert.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Here’s hoping for another Massachusetts area show. (NYC isn’t unbearably far…but Boston would be nice.)
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I can’t believe you are going to be in Los Angeles, when I’m in CT again… Un-freaking believable!!! Seems I will never see JOCO live… Damn damn damn
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
LOL, I actually did take the day off and it is nice outside.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Phoenix is anxiously counting the days!
I second, that which was typed so well by THE WALDO.
You will ‘trip out’ on the weather. Bring your swimsuit!
till then…………

April 23rd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
The Detroit area has over 100 requests on Eventful… Any chance you might decide to pop around up here in Michigan sometime? We promise we’ll be nice.
April 23rd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
sigh…this always happens. I don’t return home to L.A. until the 20th, and then the day after I leave, you’re in NYC, the place I will have just left! Is this karma? Did I kick some puppies and then forget about it?
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:27 pm
NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I’m from Phoenix and I am out of town on vacation from May 14 - May 24…Dang you JoCo!!!! You gotta come two days earlier.
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:33 pm
No cameras allowed at the House of Blues show?! That can’t be right…
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
[...] Jonathan Coulton » Blog Archive » Springtime for JoCo Hmm, coulton coming to NYC for a saturday show. May need to check that out. (tags: coulton) [...]
April 24th, 2008 at 2:25 am
Already got my tickets for Portland.
Can’t wait to take my fiance to your show.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:03 am
Add my voice to the group of L.A. residents who will be elsewhere when you’re here.
It’s only made worse by the fact that I was in Portland last week … and now I’m not.
Rats.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Great to hear you are returning to the UK - maybe this time you’ll play to a non-cardboard audience in Scotland?
April 24th, 2008 at 10:19 am
I feel fantastic that I’m going to hear JoCo sing “First of May” on the first of May in Minneapolis. You’re all jealous.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Coulton:
The main page says 7 for the phoenix show, but your “Shows” page says 8:15. Any hope for clarification?
April 24th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
A quick glance at the contract we have:
doors 7pm, show starts 8-8:15pm.
Hopefully helpful,
P&S.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Jonathan Coulton has just a simply gorgeous voice. I don’t think it gets said enough. That is all.
April 24th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Will there ever be a trip to Australia in the works for JoCo? That’d be nice.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
simply gorgeous voice. agreed.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Darn! I wanted to see you here in Seattle…and Saturday was the only day that worked. I’ll have to settle for PAX…hopefully.
…You ARE coming to PAX, right?
April 24th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Awww… no S.F. concert? This saddens me. Well, at least we have the concert DVD to look forward to in the fall!
Also, in the JoCoWiki… no Andy Bates article?! What the frak?!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:14 am
I’m pumped for the Minneapolis concert. I’m sorry to all you who can’t hear JoCo live. But hey, we Minnesotans kinda deserve it, having to keep the Canadians down and all
April 25th, 2008 at 1:56 am
I have tickets for the 9:30 show on Sunday. Hopefully that’s what you meant above, otherwise I got screwed.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:07 am
Jason, if you’d like to set up an Andy Bates article on the wiki, go ahead! This link will send you to the page where you can create it.

April 25th, 2008 at 6:54 am
This’ll be the third time I miss a Chicago show of yours… I’m playing a concert the very same day.
April 25th, 2008 at 9:55 am
WOOT!
The Sunday tickets for The Triple Door show are sold out, but they had someone cancel on Saturday AND we found a babysitter short notice. Oh, yeah, we’re soft rockin! Saturday Night.
April 25th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Lex, I don’t know enough about Andy to write the article myself. Besides, I was half-joking… although he certainly deserves an article.
April 25th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Paul & Storm’s showlist has an appearance at 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati on June 5th. Are you tagging along for that one as well?
April 25th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
4.5 hours until the doors open for my first JoCo show! Can’t wait!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Your continued avoidance of Houston is most disconcerting. I’ve seen the numbers buddy, there’s plenty of us clamoring for you. Don’t think I haven’t noticed.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 am
C’mon, he played Austin! How far is that from Houston?
April 27th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
The National Day of Prayer this year is on the First of May. Hmm… If only I could think of a *special* way to join in the celebration.
April 27th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
“C’mon, he played Austin! How far is that from Houston?”
2 and a half hours.
But no one…NO ONE, wants to drive IN Austin.
April 28th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Great show at the Mission on friday! Paul and Storm kicked ass, and Johnny C soft rocked us up real good!
April 28th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Looking forward to the u.k shows. Fingers crossed you can do Edinburgh or Glasgow. Although October is a tricky time of year for me. My best friend is getting married. Keep that in mind, thanks. Don’t suppose you do weddings?
April 28th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
My wife and I had a great time at the Triple Door on Saturday. The show was exiting and funny, as always (this was our third time). The surprise appearance of Molly was wonderful, as well. We can’t wait to see you guys again!
April 28th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
[...] Jonathan Coulton/Paul & Storm [...]
April 28th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Molly was amazing with you guys in Seattle. PLEASE get her to tour with you, she is insanely good.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Aw, needs more Baltimore, or at least DC!
April 29th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
I don’t believe it. Home of the national robotics museum (opening next spring) *and* site of the filming of zombie flick “Dawn of the Dead” and we still can’t get a JoCo gig in Pittsburgh???
AND… I just bought a motorcycle (you’ll have to view the photo to get the JoCo-only joke):

April 29th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
“….and we still can’t get a JoCo gig in Pittsburgh???”
Oh, yes you can. JC has yet to post details, but:
June
5 20th Century Theater (Cinci)
6 CBR (Columbus)
7 Club Cafe (Pitts)
April 29th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
*Sigh* our culture drought continues here in the Tampa Bay area. Oh well. At least the weather IS nice here. Almost like the first of May, every day of the week!
April 29th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Just got the message for the Pittsburgh show, awesome to hear!
April 29th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Poo. Chicago is sold out.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Cincinnati — HAPPY DANCE!!
After driving to Dayton for two years for shows, JC is playing two blocks from my house!!
You should stop by before the show of a BBQ. Better yet, I’ll treat so to some Cincinnati specialties, like Skyline Chili and a little cornhole (not what you think it is
)
April 30th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
A Pittsburgh show after the college ends. Somehow I had a feeling this is how it would play out… but I didn’t want to be a pessimist. =(
Oh well. You are still awesome, even if it might be another year before I finally make a show.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Looking further it appears the Pittsburgh show is 21+. So maybe it isn’t so bad after all…
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:59 am
Hm, can I close this tag?

Denver neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds Jonathan Coulton.
