Please read below for all of the answers to all (or most) of your questions.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Q: Do all members who purchased the $60 LPU11 Plus Membership get a guaranteed meet & greet?</strong><br /> A: No. The only members eligible for the guaranteed meet & greet are those LPU11 Annual members who purchased the $60 membership between November 15, 2011 and January 26, 2012. You are not eligible for the guaranteed meet & greet if you purchase the $60 LPU11 Plus Membership from here on out. As usual, all Annual LPU11 members ($25 and $60) are eligible to be selected for meet & greets using the raffle process.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Q: Since you're guaranteeing meet & greets to those members, won't they take up all of the meet & greet spots?</strong><br /> A: No. There will be plenty of room for other members at the meet & greets. Don't worry!</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Q: I am eligible for the guaranteed meet & greet. How do reserve my spot?<strong><br /> </strong></strong>A: When you have tickets to a show, and ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE TICKETS TO A SHOW, send an email to lpuhq@lpunderground.com with the subject "LPU11 ANNUAL MEET & GREET: (CITY)". Again, only send this email once you ACTUALLY have tickets to an upcoming show.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Q: Is there a certain amount of time I have to use my guaranteed meet & greet?</strong><br /> A: No! Your ONE guaranteed meet & greet is good until you use it. Whether it's 4 months from now, or 4 years from now.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Q: Can I bring a friend/child/sibling/parent with me to the meet & greets?</strong><br /> A: No. You are not allowed to bring any guests with you to the meet & greets, no exceptions.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Q: If a show is cancelled, can I still use my guaranteed meet & greet in the future?</strong><br /> A: Yes. If anyone is selected for a meet & greet at a cancelled show, we will do our very best to make sure you are selected the next time the band is on tour.</p> <p></p> <p>I hope that answers most of your questions. If you have any more questions, feel free to leave them in the replies and I'll update this with more Q&A's later this week. As always, thanks for your support. <br /><br />-Adam/LPUHQ</p><p>From <a href="http://www.lpunderground.com/">www.lpunderground.com</a></p>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:10:00 -0800http://www.lpunderground.com/news/59111New $25 Membership Tier Announced<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/lp_underground/media/06/11/medium.11o6msv718i5.png" /><br /><p>We're excited to announced a new membership tier. Now, for just $25, you can become an Annual LPU member and receive an LPU11 membership laminate and lanyard which will give you early entry to Linkin Park shows. You'll also get all of the other LPU benefits for a whole year including opportunities for meet & greets, pre-sale tickets, LPU-TV episodes, exclusive music, access to the online community and more. These members will also be able to purchase passes to International LPU Summit events for an additional fee. LPU11 PLUS Membership tier is still available for $60 and includes the full membership package and FREE pass to Summit events. The $10 monthly pass is no longer available for purchase. If you haven't renewed from LPUX, you can check out this new membership option at <a href="../../../store">LPUnderground.com</a>.<br /> <br /> For those of you who purchased the $60 LPU11 Annual Membership up until this point, we'd like to thank you for your dedication by guaranteeing that you will be selected for ONE meet & greet during the upcoming Linkin Park tour cycle. If a tour date is announced that you will be attending and you would like to be on the meet & greet list, email <a href="mailto:lpuhq@lpunderground.com">lpuhq@lpunderground.com</a> with the subject "LPU11 ANNUAL MEET & GREET: (CITY)".

The Raid has already won a handful of awards, and premiered at Sundance Film Festival last week with Mike's score. Here are some things people are saying:<br /> <br /> "The music explodes as the film begins and the soundtrack (from composers Mike Shinoda and Joe Trapanese) does not let up, keeping pace with the action and adding to the overall adrenaline rush of the film." <br /> - Filmschoolrejects.com<br /> <br /> "I caught The Raid last week at a pre-Sundance screening with its new score by composer Joe Trapanese and Mike Shinoda - yes, of Linkin Park - and can attest that the early praise was well-earned because holy crap, it's amazing." <br /> - Movieline.<br /> <br /> "Like a shotgun blast to the face, Gareth Evans' martial arts extravaganza, The Raid explodes on Sundance screens this week with a bone-crunching punch." <br /> - Salt Lake City Tribune<br /> <br /> "Evans has managed to bring the most gloriously brutal and entertaining action film to be seen in years." <br /> - Blogcritics.org<br /> <br /> "One of the most anticipated films at Sundance, The Raid is a flurry of flying fists, feet and sweat, all to the rhythmic score provided by Mike Shinoda and Joe Trapanese." <br /> - Tracksounds Now!<br /> <br /> "Their work is outstanding to say the least, giving momentum with a fury of electronica and beautiful strings. Never overbearing, it gives another layer of "cool" to Gareth Evans wildly inventive sophomore effort." <br /> - The Film Stage</p><p>From <a href="http://www.lpunderground.com/">www.lpunderground.com</a></p>Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:00:00 -0800http://www.lpunderground.com/news/58601Hybrid Theory EP CD To Be Available In LPU Store<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/lp_underground/media/02/11/medium.ys0tn17m391x.jpg" /><br /><p>We are going to be updating the LPU <a href="http://lpunderground.com/store">web store</a> with old newsletters, guitar picks, stickers, and an archive CD bundle that includes the Hybrid Theory EP, LPU2, LPU3 and LPU4.

His prize was a phone call from Mike Shinoda. Here's what Eddie had to say after the call:<br /><br /> <em>I just had the great honor and privilege of being able to talk with Mike Shinoda. I was so excited when I found out that I had won the contest to receive a call from Mike. It's pretty surreal to receive a phone call and the other person say "Hi, it's Mike Shinoda." Being able to talk with someone you admire is something that not everyone is always able to do and I am fortunate enough to have done just that. I had a great conversation with Mike. He asked me about myself, then we talked about some of his musical influences, his favorite places to tour, and even heard a funny story about Joe from when they were in college. Mike's a really down to earth guy and a genuinely great person. This whole experience was a dream come true.</em> <br /> <br /><em> Thank you so much Mike. You're the best.</em><br /> <br /><em> -Eddie</em></p><p>From <a href="http://www.lpunderground.com/">www.lpunderground.com</a></p>Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:05:00 -0700http://www.lpunderground.com/news/51721New LPU-TV Episode: Doogie Howser<p>We just posted a new LPU*TV episode.
