"We got so many requests throughout the years and were never really able to fulfil them, but this year we decided, that we wanted to play every city with LP fans, even if we play in front of 3 people! We will probably start recording the next album as soon as we finish this tour in 2016."Their gig in the Taklamakan Desert will be even broadcasted by the Disney Channel and released on DVD in late 2013.

March 21, 2011 I attended the screening of the movie which Mike Shinoda and Joe Trapanese scored on, "The Raid". I was so nervous! Adam from LPUHQ had said that Mike was going to be there and I instantly got my tickets, 'cause I mean, come on! Mike Shinoda was going to be there! So I arrived with my brother-in-law, who's a big fan as well, and gave the tickets to Adam. I'll admit, he's pretty cute hehe. I wasn't sure if we had to show the LPU laminate to authenticate that we really are LPU members so I asked him if we needed to show it and took out my laminate. He said, " No, that's fine but now I know for sure." Being the anxious, shy person I am, I blushed like crazy at that little interaction with Adam hehehe.
So then my brother sees that they're filming us. I automatically think it's Mark but I saw him again that night and it wasn't him. So then my brother says, "Smile for the camera." and I just laugh and look into the camera.
So after that we go inside where the seats are and completely miss the reserved seats. If I had known I would've sat right behind them but oh well. My brother-in-law and I end up sitting 4 rows down the front next to two girls that were pretty loud but nonetheless awesome for being LPUers haha.

A little heads up for all Linkin Park fans who are waiting for some album news: The newest issue of Rock Sound has an exclusive interview with Mike Shinoda about "the studio vibe and sound of LP's new record"!
The best thing, though, is that LPAssociation already have the scans! Great work, guys! Check them out here!
Here are some quotes about the sound of the new album:
The album is not completely focused yet. There is a lot of experimentation still going on as we hone in on the personality of the record, but what we've got so far is really exciting for us. It simultaneously moves forward while also embracing the past.
