Ages ago, Nikki wrote a review about her trip to LPUHQ/Machine Shop and she took tons of pictures from plaques on the walls, the polaroids, the Meteora wall, Adam’s desk (at that time) and merchandise. So many great pictures deserve a repost!

As you know I won a trip to LA for a referral contest that I won back in 2009. I arrived In Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Adam from LPU basically took us everywhere we needed to go so of course he picked us up at the airport and greeted me with a hug. He took us out to eat at a mexican restaurant which was awesome then dropped us off at the hotel after he helped us get checked in. Then we pretty much just hung out there for the remainder of the night.
They put us up at the Roosevelt hotel in Hollywood which is one of the most famous hotels in Hollywood. That night they had a pool party with a DJ, so we hung out there, and our room had a mini bar packed with everything you could think of so we had a blast at the hotel.

The next day, Adam picked us up at noon and took us out for lunch at a cafe near his place, which was also near the office so it worked out.
Then we went to the Linkin Park Underground Headquarters and that was probably the highlight of my trip. We got to take pictures of everything including the walls and plaques.
The most amusing was three sections of old Polaroids from everybody that had visited the office. Then they kept bringing us stuff to take home. We ended up leaving with a huge box of LPU, such as shirts, cds, stickers, old laminate passes, drumsticks, A Thousand Suns posters, Reanimation posters, signed DBS posters, Hybrid Theory(the band) cd and shirt, Hybrid Theory vinyl album, and wristbands. Basically we got to go through everything and take what we wanted or didn’t have already.
I also talked to Stephanie about ideas for LPU11. They explained what they are working on for the cd and extras but it hasn’t been confirmed by the whole band yet, though, so can’t elaborate. Just being there was enough of an honor for me.
