This time, I took the whole family to see Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm in Northampton. The show was great. They seemed a little tired and a little punchy, but mostly were able to turn it into humor for the show. The music was great and I got to hear some songs I hadn't heard before, as well as most of the old favorites. Paul and Storm opened the show again and got the audience warmed up. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a larger audience -- I guess I should have put up posters or something. Jonathan played a new song that I don't think is released anywhere yet.
It was fun to have the boys along. Charlie is old enough that I don't worry about him and the language, but Daniel is another matter. He was singing "First of May" in the car on the way home -- that was the one song I hadn't let him hear yet. Oh, well. It was worth it for him to see JoCo play Millionaire Girlfriend and Skullcrusher Mountain. We got to talk to Jonathan for just a second.
