London (and elsewhere, hopefully) Calling
Eventful says that JoCo's playing Union Chapel on the 20th of September. That's a Thursday. They've been right before...
Brits and other Europeans may now join me in being very excited while we wait for the official announcement and see where else he might be performing on the side of the pond.
Excitement is compulsory.
Comments
ETA: I wonder if he'll bring the band. Or Scarface. I wonder if he'll bring Paul and Storm or John Roderick. Probably Paul and Storm, since Paul said something to the effect that they were planning on coming to Europe again this year. I'm going to throw panties regardless. I wonder if I can convince more people from Geneva to go with me, since several of my local friends seem to be JoCo fans nowadays, and there was a girl I met a few weeks ago who actually quoted W's Duty to me, of all the non-Portal non-Spiff somewhat-obscure JoCo songs. Oh boy oh boy oh boy! One of my friends lives in Amsterdam some of the time now, so if he's there and JoCo also goes there, I could drag him along.
EATA: I hope he plays The Princess Who Saved Herself somewhere in Europe, since apparently he plays that live now, and I know Jutze really wanted to see it. (As do I.) (Jutze also wanted to see Big Dick Farts a Polka, but I don't see how that's possible without Mike Phirman.) And Millionaire Girlfriend at whichever concert @dantes can get to. And A Laptop Like You in my dreams...
I edited that last bit so many times, I feel compelled to add a new paragraph: I also hope he does a show in Paris or somewhere else French-speaking, and sings Je Suis Rick Springfield and Re : Vos Cerveaux.
Yay, JoCo!

... well, okay, my reaction was a bit knee-jerk because I just saw "JOCO IN LONDON" and was overjoyed, until I realized there'd be complications in attending. I can skip a couple of lectures and then just make it a long weekend in London, I suppose, though I'll need something to do for those extra days. Does London have things to do? I'm not sure if it does, it seems like a bit of a small-town backwater.
Also, I shall require someone to accompany me... hmmmm.... That could be the trickiest bit of all.
Yep, I can confirm this since I already have my tickets for London.
My Songkick app on my iPhone told me about the gig at least last week and I bought tickets that day.. I actually already have a spare ticket if anyone wants it for free. I am going with my brother who is in a wheelchair so I would get in for free anyway Can't wait to see him for the first time
Let me know if you want the ticket guys.
Oh yeah: I have already reserved front row spaces for myself and my brother so I am sure who ever wants the ticket can join.
Of people in the UK, I suspect only the venues they are in discussion with are likely to know at this point. I suspect only Jonathan, Paul and Storm and their booking agent really know where is likely.
Also +1 for having him play Princess who saved Herself, it's one of my favourite songs and I'd love to hear it live
I wonder if there will be any concerts between Stockholm and London? It doesn't take 3 days to get between the two.
Still no concert in Ireland or Scotland yet.
