UPDATE: Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro has been added to the bill, and the show has now been moved to the Cellar Door, meaning 150 more tickets are available starting at noon today. Which is now. So get on it, or forever be filled with Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness.

ORIGINAL: Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will play a solo show on Aug. 26 at Visalia's Tazzaria Coffee and Tea as part of a six-city tour of intimate venues.
If you want to see him, you've got to act quick. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday through ticketweb.com and cost $30. Capacity at the venue is 75 people.
Corgan requested to play in either a coffee shop or a bookstore that would hold 75-100 people, says concert promoter Aaron Gomes of Visalia's Sound N Vision Foundation.
Corgan will play with Spirits in the Sky, a band he gathered earlier this year and which features new Smashing Pumpkins drummer Mike Byrne.
75 people?! Man, they better jump on this. Sounds like an awesome event!
Is it just me, or does Billy look a lot like James Carville here?
I was thinking Humpty Dumpty, but yours is good, too.
That's bad news for Billy. I'm guessing he'll look like this at age 90.
When I saw that pic I sounded just like a velociraptor! :)
