for you
Yeah, so, the Jonathan Coulton show last Friday was pretty great. I'm not doing a real report but I don't think I need to since (for those of you who care) this show was filmed for a DVD which will bring the full delightful experience to the masses. (Um, in a few months.) Mostly I just want to pass on the link to this excellent video from the evening, in which he, along with illustrious guest stars including Leo Laporte, plays his song "Still Alive" Rock Band-style. (Spoiler alert: they fail. But just barely.)

Really an amazing show. This was my first time seeing him play (and my first time at the Great American Music Hall which is a lovely venue) and it was well worth the trip. I'm not a super-hardcore fan so I think there were a number of things I didn't "get," and I don't do audience participation (of which there was a small but significant amount), but I had a great time (thanks especially to my BFF who invited me along [and got me in for free]).

Also, there was delicious cake after the show was over. Yellow and chocolate! Would that every concert ended that way.
