Jonathan Coulton in the Lehigh Valley?

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Fri, 01/25/2008 - 12:35pm

Geek musician/singer Jonathan Coulton (Skullcrusher Mountain, Re: Your Brains) lives in Brooklyn, New York, which isn't all that far from the Lehigh Valley. Yet to the best of my knowledge, he's never played here, which is something I'd like to change.

There's a Lehigh Valley "demand" for him in Eventful:

http://eventful.com/demand/D0-001-000000412-0

This is basically a webified way of asking someone to come play in your area; by accumulating votes we can show that there's enough folks in the Lehigh Valley to make it worth his while.

Click the link and vote if you'd like to see him perform in the area.

Was there ever any progress in getting John to come? We'd love to cover him if the performance ever comes off.

Unfortunately, our demand stands at 13. I think it needs to get up to something like 50-100 before he considers the venue. I've got to think that that's doable in the Lehigh Valley, but I'm not sure what the best bet is for rallying those kinds of numbers.

Site does not seem to respond here, my friend. :(

Hmmm. Odd. I tried the link just now, and it worked ok. It's ticked up a vote or three since I posted this blog entry, so I'm guessing it works. I recommend trying again later.
