presenting...the top ten reasons you know that you are at a concert attended exclusively by nerds, geeks, and dorks:

10. crowd participation involves acting like pirates, robots, and zombies.
9. the headliner is bragging that one of the songs was written for a video game.
8. the video game in question is portal.
7. the crowd swoons over a love song called skullcrusher mountain.
6. one of the songs is accompanied by, and promptly resampled on, a zendrum.
5. code monkeys boo and hiss at people in the crowd who work in hardware and networking.
4. seven words: they might be giants. ice cream man.
3. it takes eight minutes to get through the intro of a pirate song, because the crowd is so enamoured of saying "ARRRRRR!" in all different ways.
2. the crowd howls with laughter because of a song about the mandelbrot set.
1. jonathan coulton and paul and storm are playing.

then again, i think #1 would in itself be enough to tip you off.

P.S.: if any of you dear readers has $1500 to spare, i can has zendrum? please? i'd love you forever...and play lots of silly things on it!

I hearts his zombie song. I actually haven't heard his pirate song. :)

the pirate song is actually not him...the pirate song was by Paul and Storm, the opening band. it was, however, Made of Shiny.

they've got a couple of live vids of it on youtube (http://youtube.com/results?search_query=paul+and+storm+lament&search=Search)...i haven't watched them yet because i'm at school, and can't really play sound files here, but hopefully one of them is good. it's a funny song.

then again, paul and storm were just plain full of win.
