Whykay's happenings

JoCo rocks @ Whelan's

First of all, it was fantastic to see JoCo live again. Although I must admit the "Oirish" crowd was much more fun to watch with than with the PAX crowd (PAX crowd were great too). The intimate settings of Whelan's, i.e. we are up close and personal with JoCo. The Irish witty heckling seemingly tickled him no end, and he even lost track of where he was singing once or twice (see video for re. your brain's one). I wonder what he thinks of Irish fans now, with coconut and monkey puppet signings!?! A maths fight broke out at one point after his mandelbrot song, it was all so fantastic. I quipped with hyperactive joy when I realised he was going to play Mr. Fancy Pants. I cannot believe he played "Oh Danny Boy"! Although most folks tried to murmur the song. All in all, a brill experience, especially when the crowd knew almost all of the songs and he pretty much had to sing louder over all of us. I hope he comes back, either that I could still catch him on the UK tour or even PAX next year. Funny thing about the Re. You Brains part was that most of the audience did not pretend to be zombies, except for a few of us (yes, I was flailing and groaning the chorus). I think he likes Ireland though. :)

Anyhoo, a taste of what happened that evening:
