Hodgman’s new book More Information Than You Require was released this week, and on Tuesday evening he did a reading at the Union Square B&N, accompanied by Jonathan Coulton. I attended and found the experience to be pleasant and my newly-signed book to be entertaining. Although the batteries in my Flip died early on, I did get a brief clip of Coulton singing The Future Soon, and also one of Hodgman.

I have to admit that before Tuesday I wouldn’t really have described myself as a Coulton fan – not that I didn’t like his stuff, just that I hadn’t really investigated it (with the exception, of course, of Still Alive). But I enjoyed his bookstore performance enough that I’ve been listening to quite a bit of Coulton the past few days. So I suppose that means it was a success.
