My Life in…

El Scorcho (with lots of fans)

I cannot say enough about the Jonathan Coulton concert at the Highline Ballroom. Even though I had a drink spilled on me, they were playing Beck before the show started so I can’t complain. The openers Paul and Storm won over the audience with their first song. I can’t resist a funny band that sings everything in harmony. Jonathan Coulton was amazing. He opened with my favorite song “The Future Soon” and even covered “Birdhouse in Your Soul” by TMBG. Even though we were Rickrolled not once, but twice it was an absolutely amazing concert. The sound was amazing and thanks to the tables I had a great view of the stage for the first time ever (I’m short.) It was fun to see a concert with a whole bunch of fellow nerds and the geek humor flowed the entire night. I told Stefan that we should have brought a sign that said, “Hey, we’re from Jersey and looking for friends.” It might have been effective there.
