I remember when they called me to try out for them. I think we had maybe an hour-long tryout. Forty-five minutes of that I didn’t even set my gear up. We just sat there and talked about conspiracy theories and the meaning of life and what our beliefs are. I remember Brandon and I found out that we were both Aquarius’s and we started buddying up with each other. Then Mikey had some crazy, wild stuff to talk about and we just ended up talking. I think for them that was actually as important as my musical ability. They wanted someone that they could get along with and they could bare while we’re on the road.

Mikey is really open minded about crazy, weird music.

We just have to save some money. She got all happy. When I woke up the next morning Incubus’ lawyer called me, and then Mikey (Einziger) called me about 5 minutes later. And then the day after that I tried out. Two days later we were on the road. I think we did almost 300 shows on that tour. It was maybe only two or three months after S.C.I.E.N.C.E. came out.
