Jonathan Coulton

(UPDATE: someone pointed out to me that Dublin is not actually in the UK, and that really I should be talking about my trip to the UK and Ireland. I assure you this is geographical stupidity and not a political statement, proof of which is my recent email blast saying that Pittsburgh was in NY. I don’t like to make political statements, as you know.)

I’ve mentioned before the possibility of me returning to the UK for another London show, this time with a longer stay that lets me hit a couple other cities. Well, it’s becoming official. The London show is booked and tickets are now on sale – October 30 at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Yes, I know it’s very big. And I think I’m bringing Paul and Storm with me.

The rest of the trip is less certain right now, but it may look something like this (I don’t know which dates, if any, will also include Paul and Storm):

Oct 24: Dublin
Oct 25: Glasgow
Oct 29: Manchester
Oct 30: London – Shepherd’s Bush Empire
Oct 31: Nottingham – Game City
Nov 1: Oxford

That list is all very tentative, so don’t go making travel plans quite yet. I’ll give you more details when I know them…

Here is the dramatic conclusion of “From Behind a Beard,” the story of my trip to the Northwest last month (oops, I mean April). Here is episode 4, my second day in Seattle:

And here is episode 5, basically episode 1 in reverse:

Three great shows – not the many-numbered throngs I am used to in coastal cities, but enthusiastic nonetheless. Plus, there was at least one boob signing opportunity, which really when you think about it is sort of what rock and roll is all about. Many thanks to everyone who came out to see us – if you’ve got set lists or photos, remember the wiki is always ready to gratefully receive your informations.

NYC is next on the 21st – I hear the place is sold out of actual seats, so it’s SRO from here on out. Don’t delay!

Also, it’s hot here!

You may have already received one erroneous email about this, and then a second one that is slightly more correct (but still probably erroneous in some way).
