Main Act Thoughts:
     •JoCo does a phenomenal performance. He's a lot of fun. He is a really talented musician, with an acoustic folk style, but mostly he is a geek. Yes. He was once a software engineer, but quit his job to become a musician. Rising to fame for his project in which he wrote a song every week for a year, and released it to the internet fo' free. He rose to further fame when he was asked to write the song for the closing credits of the extremely popular game Portal. [Came with Orange Box] He's extremely witty and clever, and provides alot of intelligent songs. He works with the audience nicely, and performs just as well live as he does on the recordings. He's something of a geek hero. We lurve him.

Today I went to see Jonathan Coulton in concert at the Paradise in Boston.

It was an amazing concert, well played, fun, great environment, and just an all around good time.

Because JoCo is fucking awesome, he lets people bring their cameras to concerts. I was able to creep up close and get some pictures next to a pillar before slinking back upstairs to get out of peoples way and enjoy the concert.

It was one of my top 5 concerts I've been to methinks... if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it.

All of these were taken between ISO 1600 and ISO 2000, so sorry bout the grain.

They may get a bit redundant... I'm okay with that.
