Even though I’ve posted here before, here is my story: I’ve been a member of the LPU since I got the LPU 1+2 package. (It had years 1 & 2). I remember I sent in a payment, by check, to be a member of LPU1. I got wind of the LPU through the Linkin Park Mailing list. This was back when they actually sent out things to your house. I remember reading that the first 500 members of the LPU would get a signed copy of the HTEP. I thought it would be awesome to do that and I sold my mom on the idea. Much to my dismay, the LPU sent the check back and wanted a cashier’s check instead. This was before it was no big deal to buy anything on line with a credit card. My mom didn’t like the idea of having to get a cashier’s check or putting her credit card number online, so that was that. When I finally got a debit card, the first thing I bought with it was my LPU membership. They offered a package deal where you got both of the first two years at a discounted rate. I signed up the next year with both an online account and an account with a package. I kept the online account for only a year or two… I bought 4 and 5 again through the LPU. 6, 7 and 8 I bought at Best Buy. I remember there was an issue with my activation codes and it gave me me problems with registering. I still hate clique ID for that. I’m pretty sure I bought 9 through the LPU, as with 10, 11 and 12. I was also one of the first 100 people in the Fort Minor Militia, for those who might have remembered that. So yeah… Possible names were “Gaglianoj,” “Makeshift wings,” “Joebuu” “Hybridialect” and that’s all the possibilities I can think of right now. I usually stayed with the Chicago Krew, mainly because I wanted to stay far away from the Linkie Boppers and slash threads. The staff of old was awesome. I met Jennie, I forgot her username, at the Live In Texas special screening event here in Illinois. I also was able to “win” a few meet and greets back in the day. I first met Linkin Park at the Summer Sanitarium tour. I also met them at a couple of Projekt Revs as well as the Chicago Summit. Fun times.
