Hee hee! JoCo twittered for people to vote for me today:



(Go vote if you haven't yet! http://bit.ly/frzn )

Friday night was the Paul and Storm & Jonathan Coulton concert in St. Paul.
While at work Friday afternoon I amused myself by following ( the shenanigans on Twitter.  )

( We got set up for the show. )

( The guys were awesome. )

( And the night was over. )
All in all, it was a pretty darn fun night.

Paul & Storm and Jonathan Coulton are going to be here on February 27th!



Do you have your tickets yet? There aren't a lot of seats left on the floor, but the balcony is still almost all available. The green seats on this chart are the ones still available:



hellbob & I are going to be doing merch again, with johnboze as our minion helping us. As always, if you go to the show and I haven't met you in real life yet, stop by and introduce yourself and say hi!

I'm also planning to bring the video camera (and a tripod!) so hopefully I'll get some good video for YouTube. After not having seats for the last two Minneapolis shows, I made sure to buy some good seats for this show. Even though JoCo would have put us on the comp list again, it's worth the cost of tickets for us to be able to sit in the front row. :)

Tickets on sale now!!!!!

Yes, this is a real date this time and not just wishful thinking homework!!



JoCo and Paul and Storm are coming to town!
New venue. Ticketed seating. They are going to play at the History Theatre in St. Paul.

Here is a link to buy tickets. They just went on sale today.

The ticketing chart is kind of weird...
Here's a seating chart to help figure it out.



Go buy your tickets minions!

(nwhepcat, They'll be in Madison on February 26th!)

Have I posted this yet? We really really really want Jonathan Coulton to come to CONvergence next year.



And now there is this one too:


God, can you just imagine both JoCo and Wil at the same CVG? It's like a geek girl's total wet dream! Two adorable, funny, talented & smart guys in one place! :)

On August 6th this year hellbob & I will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary.

On August 7th he will go on vacation without me.

Then on August 14 I will go without him.

It wasn't really planned that way, it is just how things turned out.

I really wanted to go out to Vegas during the NME to meet all my online podcasting peeps and to go to the JoCo/Richard Cheese/Chance Coverville 500 concert. It just happens to be Microsoft's Patch Week, so my darling hellbob decided he shouldn't go.

Then last night as he was reading anything new on the internets about The Police he saw that their absolute final last concert together ever was going to be August 7th at Madison Square Garden in New York. And he started to hatch a plan.

So yes, hellbob will be getting two tickets for that concert tomorrow when they go on sale. He's going to go with kaldeth. They will fly out the day of the concert and fly back the next day.

Damn expensive concert, but how could I say no to him? He's put up with my James Marsters obsession, after all.

It just seems weird that after rarely flying for vacations in all our time together now we are both going to fly opposite directions without each other!

Of course, he will only get to gaze lovingly upon Sting, Andy and Stewart from afar. I, on the other hand, will most likely get to hug the adorable Mr. Jonathan Coulton. *grin*

I also have to admit to a bit of a twinge of jealousy, as I've already been to Vegas 3 other times (and Hellbob's been twice) but I've never been to New York City! Hardly seems fair seeing as how I'm the one that was born in New York state!

Even though hellbob won't be able to join me - :( - I'm going out to Vegas in August! I'll be going for the New Media Expo. I'll be doing the free Exhibit Hall and Keynotes Only registration. Since I don't actually do any podcasting, it would be silly to do the full conference registration at $349!
It's gonna be so cool to meet all these people that I know just through podcasts and the internets!
If any of you on my flist are going to be there *looks towards Phoenix* be sure to let me know so we can meet!

But the BEST part of this trip?
The Coverville 500 Concert!
I'll finally meet Brian Ibbott in person after 3 years of email correspondence & keeping his song database for him. The concert he's going to have was the deciding factor in me going out there.
To celebrate episode 500 of Coverville he's hosting a concert of some of the favorite artists who have been played on his show: Richard Cheese, Jonathan Coulton, and Chance. Also, there will be a singer named Natalie Gelman who I haven't really heard. w00t! You know I loves me some JoCo. And Chance does the most awesome cover of Kelis' Milkshake ever!
If you are going to the NME and want to go to the concert, tickets will go on sale on June 1st. It's at a venue down by the MGM, so it's an easy monorail ride down from the Hilton. Only $20!

Video from Paul and Storm:

The pilot episode of Paul and Storm's new nature/adventure series. In this episode, we try to track down the elusive Coulton. Danger! Excitement! Facts!

I got home to late to even think about doing anything with the pics. Then I was at work all day. But I'll get to them eventually.
Overall I'm VERY happy with how these look!
Here's one of them:


Also, I've got video that I'll be putting up on YouTube as soon as I figure out how to work iMovie. :)

Only one week until the First of May!

Do you have your Coulton tickets yet?

If you don't know the significance of The First of May you need to start listening to some Jonathan Coulton! A lot of his music can be downloaded for free HERE. Some of them are free, all of them can be listened to (the whole song, not just a 30 second snippet)

Jonathan will be performing here in town next Thursday, May 1st, at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown!!!! Opening for him is the excellent duo Paul and Storm.

Y'all should check out the music if you haven't yet, and come on out to the show!

I'll be there manning the merchandise table with the other Sharon (Birdchick) and hellbob. A fun time is guaranteed for all!!!

Tickets can by gotten through TicketBastard, or at the Loring Pasta Bar. They are MUCH cheaper at the LPB because there are no inconvenience fees. Seriously. You save over $5 per ticket. They are just $17 each at the LPB.

Also, if any of you need one ticket, I've got one that's still unspoken for. We just need to figure out when/where I can get it to you. vorrant, we need to figure out some time for me to get your ticket to you. You can just pay me for it at the show. lucky13charm, I've still got your ticket too. Also, lucky13charm, genevra is interested in carpooling with you since she's going by herself.

( And for all of you weeping non-stop because you don't live in Minneapolis and will thus be missing this awesomeness, here is a list of all of JoCo's upcoming shows: )
