ironymaidenoh, that was awesome.
we met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
markbourne and e_bourne for dinner and the first night of Jonathan Coulton's sold out two nights at the Triple Door. the food was lovely, the drinks were full of life-giving alcohol, and the audience was (in the words of openers Paul and Storm) "off their Adderall".
antics ensued: someone threw a package of unworn panties, there was a pirate hat, and there was a banana (with a flavor-ring). Coulton is still oddly attractive and somewhat resemblesbuhrger. (if buhrger trimmed his beard and took several inches off his hair and got new glasses and highlights...)
Paul and Storm back JoCo for part of his show. this time there was also special guest Molly, aka sweetafton23 on YouTube, a talented ukulele cover artist who joined in on several numbers as well as getting a moment to sing her own "Roadtrip".
all the performers got together to do a ( very special number - cut to not spoil Sunday attendees ) which i had never heard performed live.*
watching our friends see their first JoCo with Paul and Storm show was an added delight. we laughed till we hurt, we arr-ed, we sang on cue. it was a goodness.
we saw the best license plate in the parking garage (as seen in my previous post).
we hit every light green once we were on fourth avenue, and we rolled down the windows and sang along with INXS all the way home. (our car still has a cassette player, which means that the music selection is mostly frozen in time. Kick is an enduring classic in my household.) sometimes (especially after an evening out) there really is nothing better than crossing the ship canal with the wind in your hair and the lights sparkling on the water.
*ETA: i am not being a bitch. they did a live Rickroll - the patter was that they were going to do a cover, so we were all primed for Baby Got Back. they played enough of Never Gonna Give You Up for everyone to get it, then segued into Baby Got Back. i think this is the official end of the meme.
