This from the Wired Blog Network today:
GeekDad: You recently performed "Still Alive" (closing theme of the videogame Portal) at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, on the video game Rock Band. Your back-up band was comprised of additional geek-celebs Leo LaPorte [sic], Merlin Mann, and Veronica Belmont. As a foursome, if you were The Beatles, who would each member be, and why?
Jonathan Coulton: Well, based on the instruments, Leo would be Paul, I guess Veronica would be George, I'd be John, and Merlin would be Ringo. That doesn't quite feel right though, especially considering that Veronica was the only one who kept us from bombing out of that song much earlier than we did. So I have to give the Ringo award to her for that one. And in that case, let's say that Merlin is then both George and John, and I can be George Martin (please please please let me be George Martin).

And what do you know. There were one or two people with cameras at Jonathan Couton's SF concert. Who woulda thunk it?
If you've been following the Jonathan Coulton/Code Monkey phenomenon on net@nite, on The Merlin Show or elsewhere, you can now get the story behind the story behind the story in the New York Times Magazine, which did a multi-page piece on Jonathan. See "Sex, Drugs and Updating Your Blog."
