The Grand Opening "Undefeated"
Replies for this Forum Topic
Can you give the contact info for that Whole Foods? (Or do you suppose maybe any Whole Foods would be able to order the shoes?) There's one very near where I live. How cool if I could get a pair of Brandon's special shoes there!

I went yesterday to Undefeated and they still haven't gotten any more Incubus "Tom shoes" in.
They didn't even have any Tom's shoes in my size. But i found a Whole Foods store that also
sells them and they put in an order for some Incubus shoes right then.....can't wait!

See.....you are on your way....and the Anticipation brewing more and more will make you even
more ready to "meet and greet"! Cheers!

"....and she called out a Warning....WARNING!!!....don't ever let life pass you by! "
ccjar: Sorry.....couldn't resist....lol!
Warningyou: Thanks for the advice...will definitely follow it.....already good with the songs and videos and the little fantasies about what I'll say, wear, give etc when I finally do get the chance to meet them. So I'm half way there, right?

when I drive myself my light is found.....
Oh...Rosario...using my words against me! LOL Yeah, I vaguely remember typing those words. A lot easier to tell someone else to do it than go for it yourself, I guess. And you're right. I have to stop saying "if I go" and start saying "when I go"! I will get to LA!! haha
Warningyou...thanks for the tips! You do sound like a pro! I've got the songs down forwards and backwards and the videos are embedded in my brain forever! When I met them, i kind of felt like I did draw some attention to myself because I don't think anyone gave them anything. My goal is to have them remember me...oh yeah, you're that girl that drew...

my biggest fear will be the rescue of me...
thats right! do you know mainly what got me to meet BB now 5 times......constantly holding that
perfect moment of meeting him pictured in my brain.....and then of course i begin to plan how i
could go about it, and eventually did it.....and if you all could only see my life right now, i'm probably the last person people would think that would actually pull it off.
recipe: begin planning today...yes married or not....these are your private dreams and goals and
everyone no matter what age, race, shape, iq, etc. deserve dreams to become reality!
listen to Incubus alot till you can sing the songs backwards, and if you've got videos, by
all means watch them, keep up on all the news you can find about them.
then when they start their next tour, be ready! Start saving $1.00 a day....and by the time
tickets go on sale, you should have enough for 1 ticket. You don't need anyone with you
and when you find out where closest they are going to be to you, go....no phone, no web,
go to the venue when tickets go on sale. I clearly suggest camping out usually 5-6 hrs
before the sale starts will get you near 1st in line if not 1st, and get that up close and per
sonal spot. Day of show, go early and find the entrance for the performers and hang
there till they show up and be prepared to have or wear something that will definitely
draw attention to yourself. Be creative, different, and KILL YOUR DOUBTS WITH THE
COLDEST OF WEAPONS>>>>CONFIDENCE!! GO GET EM !

ccjar: Someone very wise once told me to think positively....to let those positive vibes flow out into the universe.....do you remember? Don't try to go to LA in April. DO IT! Think to yourself..."I am going to LA in April"....and it will.....happen!

I will!

I've been reading all the talk about going out to LA and I am so jealous! Like Rosario, I wish I could go too. Man, wouldn't that be fun... But I too have a nosy husband, plus two kids, a job, and finances that are already spoken for with a dozen other priorities. *sigh* Jackie, if you do go (and I hope you do!), you'll have to enjoy everything for all of us!

I wish I could go with you, girls! L.A. in April.....sounds fantastic. But there is no way that I could ditch my nosy husband....he'd never let me go.....

oh definitely! that would be so cool, a small incu-group in front of the house

"i will hold you close if you're afraid of heights"
I'd love it! So, I am now saving for LA and INCU-FEST!!

"....and she called out a Warning....WARNING!!!....don't ever let life pass you by! "
Jackie and Kels x scream it: Let me know when you guys plan on going to LA in April, and I'll plan a trip up there. We can explore LA together!
--

You will? Maybe we'll see each other! lol Or better yet, maybe we'll see Brandon and we can say- hey, we're in the enjoyincubus group!

"i will hold you close if you're afraid of heights"
You're so right! That song has haunted me and my boring life since I started listening to the band! If I can't get anyone to go then I'm going to use my tax refund and go by myself! How's LA in April/May?

You don't need to have a friend to come with you.....be bold and come alone....let it all be for you!
There's plenty to keep you occupied and you can make lots of friends here. I'll be glad to answer any questions or concerns you might have. Remember what Brandon says: (below)

"....and she called out a Warning....WARNING!!!....don't ever let life pass you by! "
I've been trying to get out there for the last year and I can't get a friend to go!!

Cooool! I love LA and like to think anyone would love to visit......so much to do and opportunities
like nowhere else. Unfortunately the world seems to know our state is not so rich anymore!

"....and she called out a Warning....WARNING!!!....don't ever let life pass you by! "
Thanks so much for the offer Warningyou. I just might take you up on that one day......
--

Warning that's amazing and I'm so glad that he took the time to write something for your son! Going to LA is #1 on my list of things to do...hopefully next year. You've given me hope by saying he remembered you because of your tattoo. Maybe he'll remember me from the portraits I gave them! A girl can dream!

Thanks for all the congrats and support. I did have a web friend come out here from New York
last year when Brandon had his Book Signing. I always happy to show anyone around L.A., so
if anyone ever wants to come out or just have info let me know and i'll try to help.
--
"....and she called out a Warning....WARNING!!!....don't ever let life pass you by! "
omg. you are so lucky! why can't i live near them, too?
What a great experience you had, WARNINGYOU! And how (not surprisingly) kind and generous it was of Brandon to write your son that encouraging note.
And you have met him five times???? I confess, I am tremendously envious! It does help to be in the same state, it seems!
--
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless, and in this moment I am happy...
Warning: So happy you got to meet him yet again......correction, see him again, since you've already met and he remembers you! God, you must have been flying high that night! I envy you!! Thanks for sharing your account of the event.......it's beyond cool that Brandon wrote your son that note. I'm sure the message brightened his day and left him with a smile.
--

Warning, that is so cool, he remembered you. It makes me happy to know that he'll take the time to help make someone's situation better. I am just so hyped that you, Leah and stellar got to meet him.

'cuz wihout love I won't survive
Wow... 5 times! And he remembered your tattoo! Definitely envious right now. That is so sweet that he wrote something inspiration for your son.

kill your doubt.. with the coldest of weapons.. confidence
whoa! it's cool you've met Brandon 5 times. JEALOUS.
i guess it's a good thing you didn't buy the shoes and
went inside earlier than everyone else.
thanks for sharing that =)
I'm so excited about posting i hit the wrong key above....but get passed that. I arrived at about
6:15 pm to Undefeated expecting just to see alot of cool shoes. There were about 100 people
at least already in line. I asked the people there if they knew if any or all of the band might show
up, and one of them said "Brandon Boyd is inside." OMG OMG I didn't even have on a stictch of
make up and looked like i was just going to 7-11. I didn't know if we were gonna get to see him
because they had a patio on back of the store with high fences so you couldn't see but hear the
partying. Well when about half had gained entrance, one of the store employees stepped up and said if you are buying shoes, stay in this line, and if you just want to go into the event party
you may go ahead. Whoa, well no RSVP even necessary or even having to purchase the shoes.
Which were priced at $125 there that evening, and i was not able to do that so i go into the party.
I'm looking around at stickers you can get and other little promotional stuff, and then i saw BB.
Of course he had several people around him getting autographs and pics. Not knowing what
was gonna come out of my mouth, i tried to approach sneakily like a cat and waited my turn. He
didn't remember my name, but he remembered me because of my tatt, and prior. That's good
enough for me. And a guy taking pics for Toms Shoes took a pic of my tat, so maybed it'll show
up eventually. Right now my life is throwing me some tough s***, and alot of it is because of my
troubled teenager. I asked Brandon if he would write something just short and encouraging to
my sone and told him his name. What struck me the most, is that Brandon paused and had a
few good seconds of thought before he wrote. (Son's name)..I hope to get to meet you someday!
Lots of Light! I thought that was so sweet and thanked him and that i knew he would treasure it.
I then asked when the new album might be out, and he looked at me kinda funny (funny cute) and said " I really don't know"! I said well we'll be looking for it and thanked him again.
FIFTH MEETING! OH YEAH!
Oh, as for the shoes, after meeting Brandon, i decided since i didn't have the money at the time
to purchase that i didn't won't to wait in the growing longer just to see them....i'll wait till after pay
day. But here's my downlow on the event. P.S. I didn't see Baelyn
