Fan Recaps and Comments:

• Jonathan Coulton's setlist was, in order, Code Monkey, Shopvac, Sticking It To Myself, Artificial Heart, Big Bad World One, Still Alive, Sucker Punch and I Feel Fantastic.

• The Apes lost this show, which Flansburgh pointed out is common. Linnell, however showed confidence the Apes will rise in time.

• A fan presented the band with a hand-made doll, of which whose likeness is unknown. According to Flansburgh, it will ride at the front of the bus for the next seventeen weeks.

• Linnell didn't play the accordion once.

• A spontaneous "People/Apes" chant broke out while waiting for the first encore.
