Too bad that it's too late to enter the contest, but I wanna write my story.
Back then when I was a noob in Linkin Park related stuff, there was such a site called linkin-inside. Some people loved it, some people hated it. It had lots of rips of LP shows, as well as mp3 recordings.
It was so long ago, that I had a slow ADSL connection, or even a dial-up.... don't even remember that. I could not afford to download all that stuff from the site with my speed. But later on fast ADSL came to my house, and few days later I had everything downloaded to my PC. But there was so many shows, that I easily got lost in them.... There were some mistakes in dates, links, etc. on the site, so I needed a complete list of all shows LP ever played at. I started looking at official site and got no luck.
Somewhere around that time I got in touch with Mark. It was like a great opportunity for me to talk to a VIP @ LPA. I thought I was very lucky.
And once I asked him if I could find LP live guide somewhere on the Internet. And as far as I remember, he said that he's actually making one right now. He showed me a draft version, which had only txt files of shows.... But it was a great find for me.
Next thing that happened - I started finding typos, mistakes in that live guide and sending them to Mark. I had so much free time, that I found pretty much of them, and Mark was too lazy to fix all of them, so I said I could do it on my own... His answer was something like - Sure, why not?
And that's how I became a part of the site STAFF.
