All My Shows

For those of you who are still unsure about these "band shows," I can say from personal experience that they're excellent. You should go.

If you're *still* unsure after that glowing recommendation, there may be a bunch of videos from a couple of band shows (maybe the July 23rd Somerville show, for example) on a certain online video site. Just sayin'.

I'd be happy to buy some if you stopped a little closer to Northern California.

do you still have that policy of, "if ____ [number] of people ask for me to come to their town and play, i'll do it"?

I've heard that you'll be at the Hat Factory in Richmond, VA in May 5th. Can you confirm this?

I'm really bummed. I just discovered you had a show here in SF last week, just a block from my apartment. And yet I never heard about it until today, when your previous blog post from the 14th suddenly showed up in my RSS feed (apparently your RSS feed was backed up or something). Apparently I was also removed from your mailing list, because I didn't get the email you mentioned in this post. This all makes me very sad.

Please tell me you're coming back to SF sometime soon!

You should come to (southern) AZ. Must unleash you live on the unsuspecting hordes here.

Seriously, saw you at PAX Prime, raved about you, have a number of friends who now need to see that we were not lying...

Yes, do come back to SF :( I, too, missed you. (And come preferably when I don't have a deadline, although I understand that's kind of unpredictable.)

Woo! I got to see you last year when you played at the World Cafe, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again! Nothing quite like a Coulton concert.

Wait, what? JoCo came to SF? WTF?! *cries

I was really excited to see you're coming back to Seattle, but disappointingly it looks like it's a really upscale venue with low capacity and really expensive tickets. I don't suppose you can do a Seattle show sometime for us groundlings? :)

This list is sorely lacking in New York...but I suspect it won't be, eventually.

If you're in New York, might want to hit up a little thing called PAX East in Boston this March.

I meant that to Seth. I know JoCo already mentioned it above :p.

Is there any chance of a show in England, or Britain at all, in the forseeable future? Please come! Your underwear-chewing fans need you!

Tom: If you don't get dinner seats the Triple Door has some reasonably-priced tickets available (~$25). Just get in there quickly as, alas, the small capacity is true.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jason, but I usually can't take a whole weekend off for a con (I work retail), plus it's right around midterms.

If I come to the concert in Seattle can you promise to sing "Re: Your Brains"? I heard it on Pandora and immediately bought it via amazon. I LOVE IT!

In another lifetime, I have so much money and clout that I can fly to each concert and meet all of the awesome nerds who throng the halls. I'm devising a plan to make that other lifetime my own.

I certainly hope the other venues didn't oversell and make people stand and also that your sound mixing gets better. The Pittsburgh concert was disappointing to me. Finding videos of the newer songs on youtube tells me that it was probably the Rex's fault.

The show last night in Pittsburgh was great! I thought the band sounded awesome, the atmosphere was great, and my wife and I had a great time.

Nice job Joco, Paul and Storm and the band!

Seth,

You could get Friday and Saturday passes (or 3 day, best value) and just go the concerts at night (sorta pricey, but there's no confirmation whether he will be at the Saturday or Friday concert. The last few PAXs he has always played on Saturday night though...).

You also don't have to worry about wristbands this year, as the concerts will be on a first come, first served basis. Just throwing the idea out there. If you don't have time for the con, but are willing to put $55 bucks in for it (for a 3 day pass, $70 for Friday/Saturday individual, and only because Saturday is not confirmed...) and from 5 PM to like 3 AM (to ensure you get a spot in line), then you can just enjoy the concert.

Man, I need to move back to the north east, or out to the north west!

Are you coming back to Atlanta this year? I really enjoyed the last one, and I have about three or four people that want to come, too.

Just got back from the Philly show, it was Fantastic!!!! Can't wait to see one of your shows again, hope it's soon!

Philly show last night was awesome! It was a great mix of new and old. Looking forward to the show at PAX in a few weeks!

If Newt Gingrich and Michelle Bachmann can't stay away from Iowa, what makes you think you can?

Hey, don't forget to show the Midwest some love! You need to come to Illinois! Champaign-Urbana and the U of I would be a great place for a show!!!

Nothing in KS. :(
sad face.

why, why, WHY must the Seattle tickets be sold out :(

I saw Jonathon Coulton opening for the Presidents of the USA in Seattle at the Showbox, fun show! As a software engineer I wish he'd covered COde Monkey, but he did some great material and Shop Vac in particular had a subtle power and emotional impact. I blogged about it here and included videos (mostly of the Presidents, only 1 of Jonathon Coulter): http://virtualsoundnw.blogspot.com/2011/02/pusa-fest-at-showbox-feb-19-2011.html

Hey I saw your Portland show at the Alladin theater. I can't get over the thought that Space Doggity would be better if it were turned into a speed metal space opera.

I'm surprised nothing has been announced about the May 28th Toronto show yet.

Already got my ticket :)
