The next show was a series of stand-up comedians, the last of whom was Robin Williams. He wasn’t billed. Even the people who bought tickets to that show didn’t know he was going to be there. So when he walked out, the crowd went nuts.

Seeing Robin was fun for the sake of seeing Robin, but he wasn’t at his best, and truth be told, I rather more enjoyed Paul and Storm and JoCo. But it was all fun nonetheless. And all for a $25 ticket. Can’t beat that.

Awesome show, looking forward to seeing you here in Chicago the next time around.

I’m sorry now I made Paul give you back your Milk Duds. Especially since you stole his guitar when you left the stage!

Gamertag: Gingerlink, if you’re interested (worth a try, of course this goes out to anyone else reading this too)

I’m so upset that I have resorted to verbal irony to express my chagrin.

That is all.

Thanks for signing my shoe.

Otherwise that was a fucking awesome show.

when this tour is over, will there be more jonathan coulton for the masses? a thing a month project? a new craft section, where instead of writing songs you do macaroni collages of werewolves? perhaps you will sell your used clothing like a japanese high-schooler? make a hip-hop album and team up with leslie hall?

i’m just brainstorming for fun, no pressure. maybe i will do all of the above before you get a chance to.

besides, folks in the midwest / great plains are used to driving hours and hours and hours to do stuff – everything’s too spread out in that part of the country. if i’d been living within like four hours of either show i would of totally gone.
