That's not even a California tour, it's a Southern California tour. 10 dates and the closest he comes to the Bay Area is Sacramento?

I hope it's an hour of bass solos and there's no backing band

Anyone who shares my last name and rinses it up on bass is a friend of mine.

One of the coolest moments of my life was rushing the stage during a Stooges show, dancing to "No Fun" and totally losing my mind, then looking over and seeing Watt with a mile wide smile on his face. Iggy had goons stationed around him to keep the fans at least a foot away but not Watt of course; I ran up next to him and couldn't say anything except "YOU'RE MIKE WATT!" like a total goof. Then once the song was done he wrapped me up in a bear hug and lifted me a good two feet off the ground.

I love Mike Watt.

Mike Watt is such a road warrior, he can play shows in November and then travel BACK IN TIME to play shows in October. Bravo.
