my boat. racked up about 75,000 miles from 9/08 - 10/09... i'd wager 70k or so was with me behind the wheel.

important notes
the mess under the window, around the license plate - singer threw up out the back window.
the trash next to the sliding door - all trash and bottles of pee get thrown in that little "gully" and somehow just disappear after each gas station stop.
the trailer (RIP) is in a better place now - a junk yard in Portland, OR after a collision with a bear.
the back tire - stuck in the mud in kansas city.

Ive seen inside Mike Watts van after a show in San Pedro. Along with his bass equipment he also had a kayak that he was going to use the next morning.

seeing Watt's van parked in front of a club pre-gig brings a warm feeling to my heart. it's unmistakably his.
