And I was the one who brought JoCo the glass of water with the lemon on it. Drinking out of a pitcher just seemed so uncivilized.
Oh pdxgrrrl, that water was too fancy! JoCo doesn’t deserve water like that…. 🙂
As for the crowd: I seem to be in the minority, but I didn’t think it was so bad. Definitely loud, and into the show, and “participatory.” And yes, there were a few too many “Freebirds,” and maybe a few too many “arrrrr’s.” But on the other hand, some of the banter was funny and fit in fine with the relaxed, informal nature of a Jonathan Coulton show. Nothing against bigger, “classier” venues, but I’d hate to lose the intimate feel of a place like the Mission Theater.
And I agree totally about “When You Go.” That was fantastic! (video on the wiki show page, if you didn’t know…..)
