I discovered LPL through the LPA forums last year. I think it was a discussion thread about Mmm... Cookies and how (a) LPA user(s) posted that members of LPL "said it was crap and dissed Mike". (Sounds pretty stupid now that I'm a LPL forum member. ) There was a link to this forum and without reading I was thinking like "OMG bad site, the members are idiots" because of the stuff posted on LPA. Then, some time later, I visited the LPL main site and I was really impressed with what I saw. I remember one day where I was really ill I spent with reading the setlists/show notes of EVERY LP show.^^
And now, over 200 posts later, it has become my favorite LP-related site. Highlights were the LPL meet&greets at Gräfenhainichen and Hamburg this year where I met many LPL members. Good memories.
