Also: Coulton

Seattlest just found out that John Hodgman's troubador-in-waiting and coonskin-cap-wearing songwriter extraordinaire, Jonathan Coulton, will be performing at the Jewelbox Theater (chez Rendezvous) after the reading at Elliot Bay. Those who've only read Hodgman's book and not attended any readings may not be so familiar with Coulton--who plays musical and straight-man counterpart to Hodgman on a variety of fronts--but his acoustic remix of "Baby Got Back" brings down the house every time.

Those of you familiar with the man know that he is a profilific song writer, knocking out a new one every week. His songs are silly, smart, smart-ass, and all Creative Commons-licensed. Most are very cheap because Coulton's totally figured out that whole "screw the music labels I'll just publish my stuff online" and his Thing of the Week songs are free if you subscribe via PodCast. It will be a fun time while sticking it to The Man, so you should go.
