Great Night In West Palm Until The Aftershow!

No votes yet

I recently saw the guys again for like the 15th time in West Palm Beach Florida (Their August 29th 2007 Date) Once again the guys simply blew me away and I loved every single song they played throughout. I am grateful for the music they have shared and the memories I have connected to their music throughout my life. A few months ago when I saw them in Orlando I had the opportunity to attend the aftershow and met Chris and Mike. They were very cool and I took pictures with both that I still carry in my phone and post on myspace to this very day. Well the other day I had the opportunity to spend time with Chris and Mike again at the aftershow and once again they were very receptive to their fans and that is what I find simply amazing. I spend a great amount of my time listening to their music and when I say their music I refer to all of their albums. My ringtones are all incubus and the ringback tones are the same. I consider myself a total Incubus head. Last Wednesday night for the first time ever I had the opportunity to meet Brandon Boyd at the aftershow and the only thing I could do was thank him for sharing so much of himself through his music. I then walked away. My little brother then walked up to him and asked to take a picture with him. They took the picture and then Brandon said enough of the pictures and left. I was destroyed! My little brother had just been left because of a picture by a person that I held in such high regard through music. I have spent the past 5 days thinking of this incident non-stop. I just did not get it. I still do not get it. What did he do wrong? Can someone please help me understand this. Anyone.

Thanks,

Rick

That must have felt awful to your brother. The only thing I can say about that is maybe he does not like to be photographed very much. Perhaps he was tired or something. I don't know. That would have pissed me off. If he doesn't want to interact with his fans then maybe it's time to stay out of the public eye. That is sad cause I love Incubus. I just don't get it. He strikes me as a very shy person for the road he chose in life. I still love him, I just don't know if I would want to meet him after that.
