people-powered booking : help jonathan coulton
Jonathan Coulton, known to perform in a coonskin cap and sing funny songs about mountains made of candy, will be joining the star-studded lineup for the 826 Seattle benefit on Friday night. However, an appearance in an ensemble cast is not enough for some of his most ardent fans. More than fifty of them have demanded that he hold a solo show on Saturday and are looking for a spot to hold the show [eventful].
Once you’ve listened to a few of his songs [#] online, you might find yourself among his devotees. If so, try to give him a hand in finding an unbooked venue on short notice.
update: Rendezvous/Jewelbox, 8pm, 21+, $10

They’re more than willing to use my backyard, if the 50 or so people are willing to trim the out-of-control wisteria and blackberry.
Better yet, they can trample it.
What are the odds he’ll do “Baby Got Back” again? That remains one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
The chances of him playing “Baby Got Back” seem high. I’ll bet you could pay him a few bucks to play it at the 826 benefit show.
