Hey everyone! i first saw LP in 11/11/2000 at A free show in a best buy's parkinglot In Westminster California with the KROQ radio station...

it was a killer show.. so many people showed up not knowing who the band was.. but everyone still had a good time (one of the bigest moshpits i have ever seen aswell)cheered for them. made a huge mixture of fans that day... including me and i had only just heard them on the radio a few times.. but it was awsome.. i was about 16 years old.. that album still has an affect on me.....



I got to be the first person in line for LP's Autographs!! i was one broke kid, couldnt buy the album, friends and i had gone because it was free.. best free show ive ever seen.. we all put a dollar in and got a pack of Smokes MarbRed 100's... anyway.. i had nothing for them too sign!! DOH!! but i didnt want to forfit my place in line.. lol... how many times would i get that option again in my life?? and i didnt want them to sign my skin, and my clothes were black so the only option was.... Have them sign my ciggaretts... well i still have that pack to this vary day, got the whole line up with their Stand-in bassist Scott Koziol.. . nice guys... even joked with me.. you guys looked so star eyed like you couldnt believe it was happening to you... that must have stuck with me because that feeling became my mission(dream) and im happy to say a year later i started to try out for death metal, black metal, metal core ..ect.. bands and got to land a place as Vocalist/Lyircsis/drum programer/graphic & web design... from the age of 17 - 24 i got to play all over so-california and release a few demos and one pressed self release,. it was fun.. not as thrilling as your expedition but it was enough. . .good times.. Lp's vocals and that scream is what got me started in death metal lol.... shhh dont tell the Elitest metal heads... they might mosh me...

lol ...

anyway.. ... now im taking care of my girlfriend and love at the moment, shes fighting stage 3 level C Ovairian cancer thats spread into her stomach/ abdominal cavity in the last 2 years or so... shes on her third round of chemo.. missed a year because her kidneys went into areanal failior, one is not working at all the other is hanging in enough for chemo.. during that year is when it spread..

she is my hero!! strong,loving,helps anyone in need even puting them befor her self, even in her state... i wish i could have known her longer befor this.... but thats not changing a thing.. if anything it just made me lover her more and showed me genuine features and a will power we could all learn from, she blames no one.. no ill will... just hope..... shes a star among coal on a black background of space.... no one can tuch her light!!! im lucky to be shined on......

... because of this i am trying to sale my keepsake ive had keept safe for 10 years.. its the onlything ive held onto and keept with me that long aside from my baby pictures...

I Was the FIRST one inline to get Linkin Parks Autograph, On a pack of Marlb Red100s because i was poor and couldnt get the album.. "i got it later that month with a after school job" one of my friends ended up with it because he was obsessed with LP,,,
