Mike Watt began his "Time To Not Cat & Mouse Tour 2001" on September 11th 2001... it didn't go as initially planned, as you can imagine...

Mike Watt is one of the original bloggers and still has his tour diary from 9/11/2001 up at his site , here are some of the pertinent excerpts of what happened relevant to the video posted below that I shot on September 12th 2001 in Sacramento at Old Ironsides. 
Mike Watt 9/11 tour diary excerpt : "over the bay bridge towards sacramento, where we play tonight. it's actually the first gig of the tour now. we make it eventually to the pad for tonight's show, _old ironsides_, right by the capitol. yet another perfect place to park - - the first gig of the tour done. I'm just glad I made it though it - this was really tough. sometimes I feel I'm a reed blowing in the wind, a hostage of the wind and unable to find my center... I don't feel very strong now. one cat, an older guy who has me sign his blue oyster cult record wants me to write "death to afghanistan" but I say no and instead write "love to afghanistan." he says it's ok. I think he knows what I mean."

Khaela Maricich's creative work as "The Blow" somehow exists in the fringe balsam glade of performance art that pivots and pirouettes between the intersection of "spoken word", "indie rock" and "dance music". As she notes in "The Woman You Want Her To Be"
Around back is the VIP entrance
it’s invite only and many resent this
they swear
their name must be on the list
They wanna get in get in get in get in…
