Important Hydrangea Update
Hello friends. I just transferred two hydrangeas from pots into the ground and one of them didn’t make it. Just a reminder to live every moment, and also, don’t be ungrateful when someone frees you from your terra cotta prison and places you gently into the very earth, your supposed home.
First, as always, JoCo Cruise YES JoCo Cruise! March 2-9, 2025, sailing to San Juan, St. Maarten, and Half Moon Cay with They Might Be Giants and many more fantastic performers and events and parties and games. Cabins still available!
Second, I’m excited to be doing a show at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH in June. It’s been a while since I did a convention hall gig, so I’ve already begun praying regularly to the sound gods. My show is Saturday night, and I’ll be at a booth somewhere in there on Saturday and Sunday to do signings and photos and sell merch and receive cupcakes, so please come on by.
And finally, more good news! I’m coming back to The Birchmere in Alexandria, and Rams Head in Annapolis, and I’m bringing my good “friends” Paul and Storm.
(Also, you didn’t hear it from me, but I’ll be touring with Aimee Mann in November. Dates to come. OK I guess you did hear it from me.)
Dates I know so far below! Love your hydrangeas while you can and/or curse them when they betray you!

More Shows – Philly and Pittsburgh
I feel a little like Mickey Mouse in Fantasia (google it, youngs). All of these shows have been very fun though, and I have no doubt that trend will continue. It’s good to see all of you!
City Winery in NYC is next, and I’ve added shows in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, also City Wineries. So much wine. Got another one non-wine-related show cooking too, so stay tuned for ADDITIONAL PROMOTIONAL CONTENT.
If this keeps up, I’m going to run out of good Billy Joel covers.

The Mistakes Are Part of the Show
Thank you to everyone who came out to see my sell-out (!) show at Boston City Winery. Now you understand why I carefully configure each night of music to include a number of egregious errors, usually right up top. It helps to humanize me so that I can better connect with the audience. See?
My tiny juggernaut rolls on, buckety-buck. I’ve added a second Boston show October 2 for those of you who didn’t get tix before the sell out, and I’ll also be playing NYC City Winery on October 26. Oh and Birchmere is this Wednesday, are you even ready? This is what the schedule looks like now:

You know what they say about the schedule of Jonathan Coulton shows in New England: if you don’t like the schedule of Jonathan Coulton shows in New England, wait a minute. Mark Twain.
Shows, Actual Shows
This is one of those situations where I go to a place with a guitar and stand on the stage and play it and sing, and then other people hopefully buy tickets so they can sit in the audience and watch. Trying it out!
