Here’s a compendium of knowledge to help you get an overview of the JoCo Cruise, and to answer your questions large and small. If your desired cabin category is currently sold out, or if you’re already booked but are seeking to switch to a currently-unavailable cabin category, all hope is not lost! Travis McElroy is a full-time Podcast Host/Producer who works on way more projects than he has time for. He started podcasting in 2010 with the comedy advice show My Brother, My Brother and Me.

Amenities include a private stereo system, use of the exclusive Neptune Lounge, private concierge and an array of complimentary services. Every year on the JoCo Cruise (the nerd extravaganza cruise I participate in annually, on which I act as head of its literary track, moderate panels, do readings and DJ a nerd prom), there’s a final concert on the last full day of the cruise. The musical performers for the year come out and sing songs, with a large segment of the show putting the spotlight on the songs of musicians and songwriters who have passed in since the last cruise.

He was the Creative Consultant for the television show Stargate Universe. Paul and Storm and Jonathan Coulton have both written songs for his books. There was that one time he was covered in frosting by roller derby players on Neil Gaiman’s lawn. He also caused an Internet sensation by taping bacon to his cat.
Performers & Guests
And this one certainly delivers its own charm offensive with a production style that sometimes harks back unabashedly to an earlier era, three decades or more ago, when electric guitars and synths walked the earth together in harmony. The full sound is in stark contrast to her much starker previous album, 2008’s Smilers, which was not so big on the new wave. She might even have been inspired by some fellow former Bostonites. While a struggling music industry fell to pieces over file sharing and shifting business models, he quietly and independently amassed a small army of techies, nerds, and dedicated superfans. Featured in the New York Times, NPR and slashdot, his songs cover an eclectic range of subjects, from zombies and mad scientists to marriage and parenthood. Seeing your first Coulton show is like walking into an insider club meeting, but one that gleefully welcomes and indoctrinates you in short order.

The following friends are joining us to bring you amazing entertainment and share in the fun. Throughout the week you’ll see them on stage, wandering the ship and doing meet-and-greet “office hours.” Get to know the musicians, comedians, writers and other creators joining us. JoCo Cruise is a week-long event where every day at sea is filled with musical performances, expert panels, and comedy showcases that have the boat rocking and roaring with laughter.

Foster friendships with fascinating, creative, and really awesome people during the best week of your year. Sunday, March 12thWe return to port in Fort Lauderdale at approximately 7 a.m., we recommend that no one should book flights before noon the same day. I show off my Crocs (which is a whole other JoCo Cruise subplot I’ll explain some other time, just be assured it was a thing), hop around like a caffeinated bunny (see relevant photo, taken by Steve Petrucelli), and mostly hit my notes. I’m pretty sure you can tell I’m having a grand time, and I think everyone else is too.

AVAILABILITY / WAIT LIST
I always tell performers we’re trying to get for the boat that they will never have a more receptive audience than the one they will find on the JoCo Cruise. They are the complete opposite of snobs; they want to be entertained, and they want you to succeed in entertaining them. The second I stepped from behind the curtains to sing the song, I could feel their excitement and affection for me flowing onto the stage. That sort of support was huge, and made feel like I was supposed to be where I was.

We get it.’” Mann’s co-writer on this one was comic Tim Heidecker, of Tim & Eric fame, who also signed on to direct a video for the tune. This roughly coincided with Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia, which featured a good number of Mann’s tunes as a song score—including “Wise Up,” the tough-love anthem that might still be the best summation of Mann’s entire unflinching catalog. Another song from the film, “Save Me,” was nominated for a Best Song Academy Award, which explains the “Oscar loser” self-description in the tagline on Mann’s Twitter account.
Writer and dj riz rollins (just ‘riz’ to his friends) has been a presence in the seattle music landscape where he hosts a variety and electronica show on 90.3 fm for almost thirty years. A stalwart in both the club and event scene, he has played alongside a diverse roster of artists that includes nirvana and james brown, die antwoord and funkadelic, amon tobin and osunlade. Proficient with a plethora of styles that include disco, hip hop, house, world, r&b,ambient, jazz and gospel he regrets that he won’t be slugging his vinyl on this trip, but maybe he’ll invite you over for tea and rekkid playing hopefully soon.
Also in 2013, their song “Another Irish Drinking Song” was featured in the hit movie Despicable Me 2, and in July had their guitar smashed on stage by George R. R. Martin (and deserved it). Their fifth full-length CD, Ball Pit, came out in 2014, and was the central item of the duo’s wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. They are staff writers for, and contributed numerous songs to, the rebooted season of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Currently, the JoCo Cruise online booking process can accept ACH transfers from US-based bank accounts.
Super-fun is not a term that everyone would expect to escape the lips of Mann, who well knows that she has an image—and possibly preternatural gift—for songs some would consider sad and downbeat. But there is a subtler kind of levity in her music that, followed to its natural end, leads to the kinship she feels with certain comedians and explains why she frequently does shows with the likes of Patton Oswalt and Paul F. Tompkins. And perhaps it explains why you’ll hear some of the biggest laughs this side of a Bridesmaids screening at a Mann show, sometimes arguably morose subject matter notwithstanding. You might say it naturally follows that an album named Charmer would need to be musically seductive, as well.
“Just Can’t Get Enough” was the opening song of the tribute segment, so we needed to set the tone for everything else, and I think we managed that. The JoCo Cruise is bookable through jococruise.com/2021overview/. If you're interested, sign up sooner rather than later, as the cruise sells out quickly. The cruise encourages passengers to set up their own activities and programming, called "the Shadow Cruise." Gamers have their own special setup in the main dining room (over one ton of games, organizers say) where you can play 24-7; "friendly fez" signs let people know which games are looking for players. A page is dedicated to helping you with everything that comes before you board the ship, and after you disembark when we return to port.
