Thanks to alyeska39 for commenting and telling me about it!

I love how Mike hogs all the attention, ha. The other guys are just witnessing it, lol.
I'll be looking for some more videos/pictures but right now I'm swamped with homework!
So I'm sure many of you are watching the Grammys, unfortunately Linkin Park did not win an award, they were under the category "Best Hard Rock Performance" congratulations to AC/DC who did win!
Anyway, I got some pictures, more to be added later..but enjoy these so far:
I found some photos from the Crunchie Awards.
I added 17 pictures:
Yesterday Mike was at the Crunchie Awards presenting the award for best new gadget, it seemed to go down well and the Barnes and Noble's nook won.
Thanks to Abby for the tip, the Grammys have added a video of LP presenting the Pop nomination to their youtube channel:
Mike has posted the setlist from the benefit last night, he played on "Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event" with Tommy Lee on drums. We hope the benefit was successful in raising the funds needed for Chi, you can donate to help here.
Ill try find some pictures when I get home later.
We're finding it hard to find pictures from last night, however Maria found this one where you can see Mike playing the keyboard.
Mike attended the launch of Google music today which included a Q&A session with Mike, Mos Def, Wendy Nussbaum (UMG),Steve Savoca (Domino Recording),Syd Schwartz (EMI),and Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic). Also they used Dead by Sunrise music so demonstrate how google music will work, pretty cool.
Found some quotes and pictures below:
Mike Shinoda: We used to be called Hybrid Theory. We settled on Lincoln Park, we went online to see if we could get our URL. We were online early on, changed the name of the band to get URL that would give the fans the most direct link to our fans.
Asks Mike about how things have changed over time. Mike talks about how Linkin Park had a different name, found the name Lincoln Park but couldn’t get that domain. “We thought, this could be an important thing to have a dot.com of our name.” So we literally changed the name of the band to get the URL that would give us the most direct link to our fans. [and yes, I know he also said this yesterday at the 140 Twitter conference. He mentioned to everyone here he told the story there, too].
RJ asks if they thought about getting non-US domain names for the band, like in France. Mike says thought about that.
Mike from Linkin Park says you’ll be able to see how they make their next album online.
Mike Shinoda: We used to be called Hybrid Theory. We settled on Lincoln Park, we went online to see if we could get our URL. We were online early on, changed the name of the band to get URL that would give the fans the most direct link to our fans.
Q: Did you ever think international? Do you think about the French version of the Linkin Park website?
MS: We’re in the process of doing that right now to create an easier experience for fans in Asia and Europe..
How will this change industry in future? Courtney says Google has lots of queries but hasn’t been leading people to a legit experience. This gives consumer more uniformity. It actually gives the rightsholder more control, a way to make money.Some interesting information there, cant wait to see how they're going to show us how they make their music.
Mike from Linkin Park, “I want as few steps as possible between me and that think I’m looking for, the band … I want to be able to find them amidst the noise.” This is what excites him most about this.
Found some pictures from the conference!
Quotes:
What do you like about Twitter?
Everything
How often do you use Twitter?
As often as I blog.
How much info is too much?
It depends on your personality...
@m_shinoda says that they changed the name of Linkin Park in order to get the URL when they started the band
Social media allows @m_shinoda to own his connection with fans & make sure it is "correct."
Linkin Park talking abt numbers vs "true fans." #140conf
@m_shinoda speaking with @scottperry they want more actual fans instead of the race to a million.
I found this Tweet by Jeff Pulver, saying that Mike has joined the Cast of Characters of the 140 Character Conference in LA, he will speak on October 27th.
About The 140 Character Conference in LA:
At the #140conf events, we look at twitter as a platform and as a language we speak. Over time it will neither be the only platform nor the only language. #140conf is not an event about microblogging or the place where people share twitter “tips and techniques” but rather where we explore the effects of the emerging real-time Internet on Business.Read more here.
...this event will have a special focus on the use of twitter in the Entertainment Industry.
For the first time, I am opening up the General Admission seats above the first floor in the Kodak Theater and offering access to these seats for $200 for both days. Friends who purchase these seats will be able to experience the #140conf Tech Concert in person. If you would like to purchase the General Admission ticket, please use this link: http://www.amiando.com/140LA.html?discountCode=generaladmission". (Promotional code: GeneralAdmision ).
When I look at the schedule ( http://lax.140conf.com/schedule ) for the upcoming 140 Characters Conference: Exploring the State of NOW, taking place in Los Angeles on October 27/28, the first word that comes to my mind is diversity. Over the course of two days there will be 63 sessions presented on the Kodak Theater stage, covering a diverse set of topics including: Education, The Democratization of Information, Public Diplomacy, Public Health, Public Safety, China, Brands, Comedy, Investing, News, Public Policy & Law, Poker, Small Business, Music, Sports, Hollywood Politics and a lot more.
