[I’m so into you, but I’m way too smart for you]
This has been the week of geek rock, which basically rules. Sunday night was Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm at the Triple Door, which is such a darned swank venue that the disconnect between the room & the show I’m seeing is generally pretty entertaining. Sunday was no exception, with a show that required the audience to participate as both pirates *and* zombies, and offered prizes from Archie McPhee.
Paul being chill; Storm rocking out:
Paul presenting the winner of the door prize. He got a Darth Vader mask (obviously), a brain mold, and probably other groovy Archie McPhee stuff.
Jonathan Coulton:
Who called up Paul & Storm for a large part of the show:
And, Mr. Fancy Pants:
From Paul & Storm’s blog: And we expect many more P&S/JoCo tours in the near and far future. I really hope so, as it was super fun having Paul & Storm doing so much backup.
Then last night we went to They Might Be Giants at the Moore (which, seriously, needs to consider replacing their seats). I read the website, and so didn’t risk bringing my camera. Tragically, I totally could have brought it in. Instead, I have a crappy cell phone shot of John Linnell & his accordion.
Lookit how close we were! Yay. They did “New York City” (introduced as a song by “three women from Vancouver” YAY CUB!) and “She’s an Angel”, both of which I had sort of assumed I would never hear live, so that basically ruled.
No more geek rock this week, though, unless it’s rocking out on the iPod. Woe.
