"4th Meal" with Incubus
OK, we’ve already deemed 2007 the Best Summer Ever™, but this past weekend is vying for the title of Best Weekend of said summer. So many good times were had it’s hard to even remember them all. But I vividly remember the weekend ending late Sunday night at the Swingers restaurant in Santa Monica, after a surprisingly lackluster Underworld show at the Hollywood Bowl.

It was none other than Brandon Boyd, the ultra-cool singer of the pride of Calabasas, Incubus. Dressed casually in a skullcap and flannel shirt, Brandon and his gal-pal were able to enjoy their meal without being besieged by a single fan (which in L.A., has to be kind of rare for him).
