And last night ended my Mike Watt + Secondmen binge, at least for this month. They started SUPER late due to lallygagging open bands. They played their usual set, plus one encore that unfortunately I hit my wall and had to leave so I wouldn't fall asleep while driving.

Dragged myself out of the house last night to throw myself into a tiny crowded bar, The Prospector, to see Mike Watt + The Secondmen play a scorching, albeit brief set. Glad I got to go. Watt is an idol of mine since the mid-80's when discovering the whole SST Records scene and I can't believe here I am in 2008 seeing him bang away on his thund3rstick in this intimate venue.
