Posted on July 16, 2025 at 3:26 pm | 2 Comments

The City Winery announcement about Jonathan Coulton did, indeed, say that the show would be on Friday, Sept. 26th, but! when you click through to look at ticket prices, etc., it lists the show as taking place on Tues., Sept. 23rd. Which, I have to say, was a bit of a disappointment for me, personally, as I am significantly less likely to drive down for a Tuesday night show these days.
