Welcome Home JoCo

The only one to welcome you was a pigeon? sad :(

The only tim I was ever at a baggage claim at JFK, I met Michelle Rodriguez there. I'm not sure, but I think that beats a pigeon.

Great show in Atlanta. I was sad to not hear Chiron Beta Prime for the holidays, but the setlist had nearly everything I could want including Flickr!!

and now I really must insist that someone figure out the tab for "A Talk With George". Jonathan...hook us up!

Thank you for coming to Atlanta and for bringing Paul and Storm with you. What a great show. I haven't stood that long amidst strangers in one place since I renewed my driver's license, but this was definitely a happier crowd.

It was so great to meet you, Paul, and Storm last night. That was, by far, the best concert I've ever been to. Please tour more in the South. The crowd loved you guys.

I enjoyed the show alot last night i hope you come back again soon, and next time play Todd the T1000

Great show and thanks for doing a meet-n-greet afterwards. Come back soon... ya'll.

Loved the show last night!!! And it was great to meet you. My wife came along mostly to humor me but left a true believer. Except that she still finds the zombie song a little disturbing. You can feel honored in knowing that you are one of the very few things that I would brave downtown Atlanta traffic on a Friday for. :)

JoCo, you're the warrior-poet of the geek revolution! Thank you so much for the lovely tunes, especially Code Monkey, Zombie, and of course, Still Alive.

Your spirit animal is a sky-rat?

You're entirely welcome; but we could not have made such big fun without you and Paul & Storm. (Well, okay, maybe we could have, but it would've been ten times harder. And not rocked nearly as much.)

We look forward to seeing more of all three of you down here in future. Speaking of which...Here's the information I promised you on GAFilk, our annual January filk music convention:
Official web site
If you thought people in last night's audience sang along with you with nice voices, wait'll you hear a whole roomful of filkers do it. Will abso-fraggin'-lutely blow your mind. (Come to think of it, you may have had a taste of that at Confluence...)

And speaking of filk, I can't believe I forgot to tell you last night about the filksong I wrote a couple months ago, as a response to "Re: Your Brains."
Re: Your Zombie Ass!
Hope you like it.

Isn't that a line from your new song?

"Gunmetal pigeon making trouble when it should be pooping..."

Bah, wish I could have been there! You should come to the memphis area!

Also welcoming you home? You're featured on YouTube again! Bonnie and Jim's awesome live action Fantastic video is on the front page.

Everybody get over there and rate up nice comments and down with spam and nasty ones (if any)!

Hey Johnathan, your show was simply amazing! Thanks for humoring us with Still Alive (yeah I was the asshole who demanded it at the start of your set). Any chance Valve is gonna let you put out your version of it any time soon?

Setlist anyone? Or recordings even?

The show was awesome. Now, you did sign that affidavit saying that you'd come back, right?

The show last night was fantastic! So fantastic, in fact, that my camera ran out of batteries after the Paul and Storm set and I had to run to the gas station at the corner to get some more. One of my friends came along because one of her friends was in town and wanted to go, and I think I have her hooked. Success. Hope to see you back in town in the future.

It's a good thing you didn't fly into Newark International. You don't even want to know what greets you and then poops on the floor when the buzzer goes off there.

Thanks for the ass-slapping awesome show in Atlanta.WE had fun. You have to come visit again(and bring Ze Frank too).

Hey! Come back here!

More to the point, come back when I can afford tickets! (Yes, I know you're worth twice that price; I just didn't HAVE it.)

And pick a bigger venue, please. I'd hate to be able to afford tickets and then find that there aren't any available.

The show was lots of fun. We got to relive it after looking at the four videotapes of footage shot for Yahoo at the show (damn, I have to upload that sometime this week). Just fantastic.

Wait, there's video for Yahoo?

As others have said, one excellent show all around.

Are you sure that "pigeon" wasn't a DHS drone? The pooping thing sounds like a dead giveaway to me...

I so wanted to come to the show on Friday, but couldn't get tickets. Please say you will come down here again! You should definitely get a bigger venue too - I know 4 or 5 more folks who wanted to go, and I am sure everyone else does too!

As many others have said, 'twas a great show all around. Thanks for introducing me to Paul and Storm, as well as for your own-always great tunes. Now we need to see about getting you to play Dragon*Con...

Pants.

you are creating the illusion for yourself of being talented, but you're not even a valid musician.

"none Says:"

Boy... He must have really thought he'd pulled one over on us with the brilliant lyrics, great singing and wonderful instrumentals. Good thing anonymous people online are not fooled!

Atlanta show was totally worth the 7 hour drive from Orlando (I got lost at one point . . .sue me). If the Zendrum has programmable vocals . . .does that mean "When you go" could be part of a set, too? That song breaks my heart quietly every time.

Thanks, Colin!

Included is a photo of the setlist, which should answer the setlist questions.

Fantastic show in Atlanta. We had a great time, even though crowd playfulness was at times a bit . . . overzealous. Jonathan, Paul and Storm never let that get out of hand, though. Loved the chance to hear "Still Alive," and the Zendrum was wonderfully surreal.

Thanks Andrea :). Most of the youtube comments have been positive, though we have been trying to weed out the spam and the worst of the trolling.

Hey, be happy your spirit animal wasn't flying over your head. :)

I was also disappointed that we missed out on Chiron Beta Prime but I also wanted to hear Kennesaw Mountain Landis, (we were 20 miles south of Kennesaw Mountain after all) and bunches of other songs.

Come back to Atlanta as soon as you can! Best show in years!
