...Linkin Park Association! Yes, I know there are other great sites, and I love them all, but I've decided to support the LPA for the following reasons:

Adam has agree to blog from the Linkin Park world tour for galesburg.com, so check back for updates. Meanwhile, I asked Adam to fill us in on his duties with Linkin Park: My official title is Marketing Manager for Linkin Park Strategic Marketing. It’s a mouthful, I know. Here’s what that means: ...
