I don't know about never apply to California, but I think that the sudden lack of seed funders on the East Coast leaves a pretty severe gap. My cofounder and I are talking about this right now: California is pretty tough for him, and this coming in January means that there's less time to really discuss this. The fact that there's no seed funder over on this side means that it's going to be tough to figure out if things don't work - one-man start-ups just aren't a good idea.
