Reply To: Felicia Day sings “Still Alive” with JoCo at PAX2008
Well, here’s the relevant section.
And last but not least… well, if a musician you kind of are a fangirl of suddenly emailed you out of the blue and asked you to sing on stage with him, what would you do? MMm, same thing I did when Joss emailed me and asked me to do “Horrible.” Yes please!
Jonathan Coulton, brilliant singer-songwriter, hero to geeks and musicians everywhere, asked me the week before PAX to sing “Still Alive”, the song from the end of “Portal”. Coincidentally I had just played the song at a Rock Band party the week before, so the universe was trying to tell me something. I was pretty nervous because I’d never sung on stage live with a mic, it was quite a learning experience. But the minute I walked out on stage, 3000 people or so cheered and instantly I knew why people become rock stars! I had so much fun, the crowd basically sang along with me, and standing next to JoCo was a thrill beyond compare. I can’t claim to have done justice to the song (one of my faves), and in fact performing with a monitor and a mic was totally new to me. It’s on my list to have that skill set prepared for the next time someone cool asks me to sing 😉 Still, this was an amazing experience. Here’s video:

Couldn’t have been more spectacular! Hmm, now I want to join a band… lol.
