Jonathan Coulton - In Houston!

Squeeee! Jonathan Coulton will be in Houston on September 20th at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck. So awesome of him to come to Houston a week before my birthday as a special treat just for me! (ok, FINE. I know he isn’t coming just for me. But it is a week before my birthday, so I can pretend.)

He’ll be in Austin and Dallas too, along with a long list of other places. Check out the tour dates if you’re interested. While you’re on his site, be sure to listen to the Ikea song and the BEST VERSION EVER of Baby Got Back. Seriously. Even if you hate the song, you must check out his cover of it. It is AWESOME!

So, who wants to go with us???

I’m sorry to make my first comment like this, but I have to disagree after listening to his cover.

First, he didn’t do the “Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt…” line. Points off right there.

Secondly, I don’t believe that when a round thing gets in his face he gets sprung. I just don’t. Mildly aroused, maybe.

For your consideration, I give you Richard Cheese’s take on the song…

I’ve seen this man live many a time, and his version just makes me so much happier.

And that’s my 2 cents.

Me, but it will depend on how ready I am for my mother who arrives the next day.

Mee, mee!!! Not that I can just get to Texas. :-p

hmmmm….. it’s on a school night, but really when was the last time I celebrated your b-day?

I would SOO love to accompany you - but 1) I’m in Ohio and 2) You don’t even know me

Have a great time though - J.C is a hoot!

I wanna go! And I live in Houston!!! See ya there Christine! Should be a fun birthday celebration!

Oooh! I need to tell Katie about this, I’ve been trying to play the Ikea song for her, forever! Maybe she and Adam will want to join you.
