Well, probably not mine!
Felicia Day (perhaps best known from Dr Horrible) has a new video, in support of her other web series, The Guild. If you've spent some time in World of Warcraft, you probably already know about it.

Dr. Horrible
I wasn't quite getting into the pre-publicity for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog -- but now that the first act is out, I can certainly recommend it if you think a superhero musical is long over due, and, well, are in favor of watching something by Joss Whedon.
It is free...for now... so definitely check it out.

CONvergence Video!
We've had the opening ceremonies video posted on You Tube. I'm in both parts -- though I'm pretty well covered in the first part!
Though I can be seen in the second part:
It's not a secret that we'd like to convince Jonathan Coulton to come some year. And certainly, if this video is any indication, Mercedes Lackey would agree:

CONvergence Guest Wish List
After seeing him perform twice in Minneapolis -- and seeing the audience at his event, recognizing that there was a large crossover with CONvergence's membership, we're trying to make it clear to JoCo (in a friendly fashion) that we think he'd be a great match for CONvergence in 2009 or the future.
Just to be clear -- we're talking 2009 or beyond, and not in two months. But it is worth putting out there...

Funny!
Well, at least now we know that a Cat with a Theremin is funny...I would imagine almost any other animal would be as well...

First of May
I'm very psyched to see that Jonathan Coulton is planning a return trip to Minneapolis on May 1st.
And since he's got a song called First of May -- which doesn't have work safe lyrics -- it's a particularly good day for the show.

Life Outside Your Apartment
I went to see the touring production of Avenue Q tonight here in Minneapolis. I've had the soundtrack for a while, and have hoped to see the show for a long time.
I was familiar with the soundtrack -- and as someone who grew up with Sesame Street that sort of style is very much ingrained in my brain, but it was interesting to see an actual production.
And this is something that's really most appropriate for a live production -- a filmed version would be tempted to hide the actors, and you'd lose half of the acting there. It's a great example of something that is done well as a live production, and would be something completely different in a filmed version.
They'll only be in Minneapolis for a few more days, but the tour is going to continue around the country for most of the year -- and is definitely worth seeing.

Huge Success
I'm not enough of game player to have the game, but I'm enough of a fan of Jonathan Coulton that I had to pick up the two versions of Still Alive from the Orange Box Soundtrack
.
And since it's available on Amazon's MP3 service, I was able to just get the songs.

Code Monkey Video Coolness
Continuing with the all JoCo, all the time nature of the blog this week, I found a couple of more YouTube videos -- which really show how cool the nature of our interconnected world on the Internet is these days.
Code Monkey, of course, is the anthem for software creators everywhere.
Amongst the cool videos include this Anime Music Video:
And also this version of someone dancing...
But then, in Chicago, she comes up on stage at Jonathan Coulton's Chicago concert:
I love how this brings it all full circle and points out one of my favorite things about the internet -- the myth is that the internet means that we're all more isolated than ever. But really, it does a lot more to connect people than anything else.

He curses the cold in Minnesota
A version of Curl from the Jonathan Coulton concert last week here in Minneapolis.
And since winter has been in full force this week, I've definitely been cursing the cold.
This was definitely one of those concerts where I've become a bigger fan of the artist after the concert...which is always the best kind.

Zendrum
One of the neater things during the Jonathan Coulton concert this week was seeing a Zendrum in action during a performance of Mr Fancy Pants.
It's obviously an instrument outside of my non-musican budget -- but it was one of the cooler pieces of musical technology that I'd seen in a very, very long time.

Opening Band
Opening up for Jonathan Coulton earlier this week was Paul and Storm. They were definitely a natural fit with JoCo, especially as they also provided occasional backup support during JC's main show.
I picked up the rest of their songs -- and they are quite funny.
