Brandon hasn't popped up his photo-happy head in a while, but that doesn't mean he's not up to his usual antics. Brandon's still chronicling his adventures in hitting up hot local bars and posh restaurants, and this time he's even snuck in a moment to check out a cover band.

Brandon has a brand-new party night, Marathon, wherein bands make a stop at his Silverlake studio before performing at Three Clubs in Hollywood. Tons turned out in droves for the event, but we'll let our favorite photographer tell you all about since, in true Brandon style, he's got exciting stories from the from the night -- and it's only the premiere of the event!

Sunset Boulevard is no match for Brandon, who hit up that strip's annual fete, Sunset Junction Street Fair, to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. But Brandon's not one to overlook smaller Southern California bands, as he started his night by scoping out Los Angeles staples Giant Drag and Silverlake upstarts Silversun Pickups.

Brandon either has no personal possessions he'd be devastated if he lost or he's just nearly impossible to discourage. After a fire tears through his apartment complex, Brandon doesn't wait to make sure his furniture hasn't been scorched or his entertainment system charred; rather, our favorite photographer goes (where else?) for more drinks.

Brandon's been with us for some time now, and his jaunts around Los Angeles keep us entertained -- and wish we lived on the West Coast to soak up some of that summer goodness. But it's not all palm trees and pretty faces. Okay, it's a lot of those.

Today begins with an adventure in the sweltering heat. Armed with two cameras, a jug of water and a pocket full of left-handed cigarettes, I head toward Pasedena for...

The Warped Tour! Clearly people have heard of this event.
