Incubus @ Apple Soho

I have officially lost my mind, this weekend has been nuts!

After getting hardly any sleep after the Incubus party on Friday night, I woke up super early & hauled ass to the Apple Store in Soho on Saturday morning~ my new friend Ken picked me up & we were 5th in line to receive wristbands for another FREE private Incubus show!

So I spent an entire day in Manhattan yesterday.  First I got my hair done, then I grabbed lunch and was in Soho for the 8PM show by 4:30PM.  Again, I happened to be 5th in line~

Spent a few hours chatting with some other Incubus fans and sharing our Incubus stories while we waited in the sweltering heat.  The time actually went by pretty fast and then finally, it was time to go inside.

Since I was at the beginning of the line, I got a FRONT ROW seat!!  When the band came out, I was sitting just two feet away from them.  I'd never been to such a cool and intimate concert before.

They played a lot of old favorites and some new songs as well.  They sounded amazing!

Brandon said that an Apple Store was "probably one of the weirdest places" that the band has ever played...

Brandon cuddling with his girlfriend who was sitting at the very front, thought that was really cute~

What an awesome experience!!!  I never thought I'd be able to see my favorite band up close like that.  The whole concert was recorded and is being put up on iTunes, I can't wait to download it!!  Wonder if you can hear me screaming in the background, haha~

Managed to grab Mikey's set list as well as one of his autographed guitar picks!!  Unfortunately the set list slipped off my lap while I was on the train home and fell into a mysterious puddle, I didn't pick it back up...

There's still one more free Incubus show that I'm gonna try to squeeze in tomorrow night while the band is here in New York, this is so exciting!

That's so crazy! I was there as well and I definitely saw you there! I found out about this show last min. and we went to get our wristbands at 10am. Didn't you also go to live on letterman? It was a crazy awesome show too!
