travel & hotel info

[bleak meteor]

We could totally Uber together. Will DM.

[vernal patio]

Probably, check-in window at the venue wherever it is is 12:30-1:30. 2-3 hours should plenty of time to get to most LA places.

[stuck narwhal]

I’m wearing shorts but tying a sweater around my waist ᵕ̈

[karmic tinsel]

Definitely recommend using a bathroom any chance you get. They seem to be scarce and well guarded here. Lol

[sage shale]

I'm leading a Zoom class with my college students tomorrow morning. 😅 I'm going to be so distracted!

[vernal patio]

LA locals, can one get from West Hollywood to most LA places in an hour or two? Context - I’m driving down from Nor Cal later today and looking for a hotel for tonight. I figure check out at most hotels is ~11am. That ought to be plenty of time to drive to “secret LA location”, yeah?

[sage shale]

Oooh, that would be cool too!!!

[ashen atlas]

I think West Hollywood would be a good location

@vernal patio I’d say if this is going to be anywhere near Hollywood or somewhere in Downtown LA, then West Hollywood would be a good place to stay.

I’m in Burbank, if anyone is still wondering where to look for a place. From here you can take the streets to Hollywood and all of the freeways are very central and go to Downtown LA

lots of hotels and stuff out here too
Not sure how much though

[sage shale]

I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I think even if it's cold inside, there will be a crowd of us full of excitement and energy, so probably won't need a sweater or jacket.

[barren kite]

I'm at guitar center. I took a picture of my hand on Chester's hand print

[bleak meteor]

Where are you driving from? I am around SFO. Was thinking of getting a flight tomorrow morning.

[vernal patio]

I’m driving from Berkeley, probably sometime late afternoon today. Was basically looking for spot that’s easy to get to tonight, but hopefully close enough tomorrow morning that I’m not stressing traffic.

I'm now walking towards in and out burger

[wanton rapids]

Was thinking of going there, I can't check into my room for another 2 hours

[barren kite]

Rip

[barren kite]

Woah, they're busy. I would not like working there lmao

But they have a lot of staff. And the staff looks organized. Each one has a specific role in making the burger

[ashen atlas]

They are always packed but the line goes by quicker than you’d expect

[barren kite]

Yes I'm studying their work. As I also work in fast food

[ashen atlas]

Oh nice!!

[barren kite]

I wish we can have that much staff lmao

They're not multitasking is what I noticed

Each person is doing one task. Doing it quick

[ashen atlas]

How’s the heat? You’re getting a good sense of what it’ll be like tomorrow

[karmic tinsel]

It hawt

[ashen atlas]

Great haha keep hydrated!!

[barren kite]

It's not that hot. Just humid heat

I'm sweating. But I don't feel like I'm overheating

[sand shell]

Head cover is crucial. And helps a tonne

[barren kite]

True. Wish I could find a Linkin Park cap to go with my shirt

Any places I could try looking

[ashen atlas]

Hot topic? Idk lol

[sand shell]

Urban outfitters

[trim kestrel]

I didn't see any in the Hot Topic in Torrance. Saw three shirts, though.

Papercuts and HT. The gas mask + wing one was in another store down the way.

Could check a sporting goods store for a good hat.

[barren kite]

Let me know if you find A thousand suns shirt

[ashen atlas]

2 places popped up for me on Hollywood Blvd called Rock Town and Hot Rock?

Might have something since you’re out there

[barren kite]

Ohh. I'm currently taking a quick break in LA LA Land

I've already did 9.5k steps

[karmic tinsel]

Guess we're gonna check out guitar center as well.

[maiden wigeon]

My flight to LAX boards in 10 minutes 🫡

[maiden wigeon]

Lowkey that’s a great idea

[sand shell]

For those in la, the weather now is what it’ll be tomorrow!

[sage shale]

Just landed in Salt Lake City and get my connecting flight to LA in about 45 minutes!

[main jacinth]

Who is down to meet up for early lunch near the meeting spot? I know we are being shuttled from that location to the real spot.

[maiden wigeon]

I’m down!

[bleak meteor]

Did you get an email for the meeting spot already? Or does that happen tomorrow morning for everyone?

[abstract ledge]

I feel ya, same here pretty much

[barren kite]

Down

[abstract ledge]

I'm wearing my papercuts shirt too!!

[abstract ledge]

there's a meeting spot? where at?

[crisp gust]

No one gets the venue location until tomorrow morning

[abstract ledge]

I'm wondering, is it anyone's first LP event ever and never seen Lp before?

[main jacinth]

Once we get the location, we can find a place to meet up have lunch. I don’t know the location however I do know they are going to be shuttling us somewhere.

[abstract ledge]

Sounds good! I'll be down for this gathering before the event, i'd say that 11am is a good time!

[main jacinth]

Yes

I’m wondering what time they are sending us the location

[sage shale]

Me! 25 year dream about to be realized! I still can't believe it!!

[main jacinth]

How exciting you are going to love it!!

[bleak meteor]

Had tickets to watch them live during the NA tour in 2017 before it got cancelled. Watched the band live at the tribute concert and saw Mike Shinoda at SF during his solo tour in 2018 (Dave Farrell showed up as a surprise). Never got to see Chester 😔

[abstract ledge]

Dang, I feel that. I was actually going to see them at some point in the 2010s but didn't get to

[ashen atlas]

Ya the last thing I went to for LP was the Hollywood Bowl :/ then I followed Mike around for about a year going to any of the shows I could out near me. I got to do a meet and greet with him at one of the shows in LA

[cobalt flame]

I saw them twice, the Honda Civic tour with incubus and the carnivore tour (which I got to do meet and greet for)

[abstract ledge]

first meet and greet for you, as in pics with him and some of the members of the band?

[abstract ledge]

what year was this? curious 😮

[cobalt flame]

2012 and 2014.

[ashen atlas]

That was my first meet and greet, but it was only with Mike. Joe actually performed with him, but he wasn’t at the meet and greet. It was at the IdentityLA show Mike did in 2018

[earnest spoke]

just saw one of us at the supermarket xD

[cunning hare]

I’ll be in LAX at 8:30 am anyone gonna be around?

[plain wave]

Work laptop is off, and time to head off to the airport to see all of you real soon 🎉

[cunning hare]

Fly safe!!! I’m new this discord

[limpid dove]

wish I could attend, but 1. I’m 2 years under the age limit, and 2 I have no money to fly out

safe travels everyone!👍

[cunning hare]

Anyone flying from Boise?

[slender wadi]

I just landed in LAX with no particular plan, any folks want to do drinks today and/or tomorrow?

[haughty turret]

I‘m also down ^^^

[sick gazelle]

I was at the SF show that Mike did as well. It was amazing!

[cunning hare]

I’m down for tomorrow! I land in LAX at 8

[barren kite]

Here, take this age up potion. As well as 2,000 bucks

[wanton rapids]

Mmm good nap...I feel sort of refreshed

[barren kite]

Yay!

[copper frigate]

Sounds like a plan 😉

[wanton rapids]

Wow, Uber says an hour ride from hotel to w.hollywood

[barren kite]

Are you able to make a thread for this @wanton rapids

[slender wadi]

Can we get one for after event drinks too

[earnest spoke]

come over!

[barren kite]

So we can plan tomorrow morning

Once we get the location

I just left Hollywood lmao

I got bored

[earnest spoke]

I'm having lunch then we're heading to the beach

[wanton rapids]

I say just utilize this thread. We can change the name since most will have traveled and have their hotel. Maybe little later tonight we'll change the name

[barren kite]

Sounds fun! I'm just afraid of getting sunburnt for tomorrow lmao. Don't wanna look like a tomato

[copper frigate]

Under 4hrs left of this flight. 😴 I need some decent food!!!! All @barren kite talk of In-Out burger has made me hungry 🤤

[barren kite]

It's a 15 minute walk away from guitar center

[earnest spoke]

gonna get some sunscreen xD

[barren kite]

It has to be the highest SPF

Lmao

[copper frigate]

Hope there is one closer to LAX 😂

[barren kite]

I might go to the beach this evening and just walk on the pier and watch the sun set

[karmic tinsel]

Me too!! 😁

[reef osprey]

I can bring treez if anyone is interested

[balmy inlet]

That be cool!

[barren kite]

Trees? 🌳🌳🌳 Omg

HOW YOU GONNA FIT THEM

[balmy inlet]

I’m flying into LAX AT 8:48am tomorrow

[reef osprey]

🤣 well they are tiny treez that fit in my pocket. Usually rolled into something else 👀

[barren kite]

Are you Steve from Minecraft

[reef osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-villager-yes-summershellhamer-gif-5069350647783574541

[river sierra]

Me! My kids were too young before … and now they are jealous

[barren kite]

Are you the tree that @reef osprey was talking about

[karmic tinsel]

Twistin my arm, sir. Lol

[earnest spoke]

we're gonna go to Venice and Santa Monica if anyone wants to do something!

[barren kite]

When

[barren kite]

This is my first event.

[earnest spoke]

in about 30min

probably gonna stay there til the SUUUN GOOOOES DOWNNNN

[river sierra]

Nah. His treez are probably more fun 🙂

[barren kite]

Who says you aren't fun?

[barren kite]

I'll wait until the light betrays me

[karmic tinsel]

We're down!

[barren kite]

Give me a bit to rest, I have to go buy some sunscreen and prepare

[haughty turret]

I‘d be also down to join later the afternoon :)

gotta find a hotel first tho lol

[warm gazelle]

flight in 3 hours!! off to take the train

[haughty turret]

Does anyone have recommendations for hotels? Just landed at LAX and procrastinated booking one😭

[earnest spoke]

also in advance sorry for my bad English. when it comes to speaking with natives I get really 🥴🥴🥴

[barren kite]

Don't worry!

I probably won't go in the water, so that way I wouldn't have to dry off.

[muted nest]

Just landed in LAX, is there a meetup happening? Or we all just exploring around?

[barren kite]

We're going to the beach!

[muted nest]

Which one?

[slender wadi]

I'm at the meetup of the CBP queue

[opal moat]

Just landed!

[barren kite]

^

[earnest spoke]

me neither

[formal hazel]

I’m down 👌

If I ever get through border control I’ll probably be down Venice/santa Monica in around an hour or so in search of food. Then I’m thinking of going to Jones for pizza tonight

[slender wadi]

My hotels in glendale, anyone wanna share an uber from the airport if they're also around there?

[barren kite]

Alright I'm waiting on my phone to finish charging, I'll go to target and buy some sunscreen and a sun hat

I have an hybrid theory shirt on today

[haughty turret]

The dude at border Control asked for my detailled plans for today and tomorrow so I said that Im going to an event and he asked „what event?“ and I Said „probably a concert“ and he said “can I see the ticket?” so I said “I don’t really have one technically” and had to convince him with sketchy LP underground mail 😭🥲

In the end he believed me and was chill about it but it felt so illegal xD

[slender wadi]

I get to do the exact same thing in 5 minutes

[earnest spoke]

omg ahahaa where are you coming from?

[haughty turret]

Germany

[earnest spoke]

they only asked me what was i doing here, i said I'm attending to an event of my favorite band and then he said ok and threw me my passport back lol

[haughty turret]

Also my first time travelling alone so I wasn’t prepared for that hahahaha

Didn’t help that I also
couldn’t tell him where I’m staying💀

[earnest spoke]

if you were Brazilian theyd probably send you back lol

[plain wave]

Haha! Mine asked reason for visit and she was actually super excited for me when I said I was going to see Linkin Park 😭

[haughty turret]

Then he asked if I’m at least meeting with anyone and then I said “yeah with friends..” and he asked “what friends?” and at this point I began questioning life choices 🥲

[earnest spoke]

Jules xDDD

does anyone know if I can use my digital driver's licence to rent a car in here?

[barren kite]

They didn't even talk to me, they just waved me through xD

[earnest spoke]

where u from?

[barren kite]

I drove 8000 miles from New Mexico

[barren kite]

Omg I meant 800

[earnest spoke]

oh true you've already said that I'm sorrryyyy

[barren kite]

Don't worry. We all forget sometimes

[reef osprey]

8000 🤣

My guy drove to LA and back 5 times over

[barren kite]

What can you say, I kept forgetting something important

Halfway through the trip I rememer I opened my wallet just to make sure I have my driver's license on ne

[reef osprey]

Could you imagine getting to the event just to be turned away because you forgot your ID….😱

[barren kite]

What a relief it is to find it lol

[reef osprey]

AHHHHHHH I can’t believe we are less than 24 hours from this thing

[slender wadi]

I said I was here for the gig and the officer was like "oh damn they found a new singer? I saw them years ago"

Went straight through

[earnest spoke]

anyone? 🥺

[reef osprey]

You will need a physical ID

[earnest spoke]

i have my passport

[cunning hare]

What! I’ll see you there, coffee? And game plan together?

[reef osprey]

That should work but I would call and confirm

[karmic tinsel]

That'd probably work. Worth a phone call.

[barren kite]

I'm at target gonna buy some sunscreen and a sunhat

[reef osprey]

Good idea

[haughty turret]

Just booked a room in “la quinta” in inglewood, somewhat close to LAX, is anyone else staying there by any chance? :)

[rancid parcel]

Just arrived at my hotel!

[barren kite]

This target has 2 floors and a parking garage lmao

[rancid parcel]

I’m also staying at La Quinta!

[barren kite]

Congratulations on making it here safe

[haughty turret]

But also the one at Inglewood? Cause there’s also a la Quinta directly at LAX which is $100 more tho

[rancid parcel]

Ahhh, ok. I’m at the one that’s close to lax, not the Inglewood one. :/

[balmy inlet]

Sounds good! We can share an Uber/lyft to the event site once we know where it is. I’m flying in on United, how about you?

[nimble zenith]

Just boarded my flight from Dallas, waiting for takeoff. It seems I'm one of the few that is staying in West Hollywood.

[warped kayak]

I'm in hollywood right now in line for INK and In This Moment right now...

[earnest spoke]

sun is not that bad actually

but it's good to put on some sunscreen anyways

[bleak meteor]

I am planning to fly in and out tomorrow itself. Would there be an after-party of any sorts? 😅

[earnest spoke]

(i haven't xD)

[barren kite]

I get sunburnt super easily

[earnest spoke]

we're at Venice beach

[barren kite]

I got sunscreen. And I'm just gonna use a work cap instead of buying one lmao

[reef osprey]

Y’all have fun today! I really don’t feel like driving to LA twice lol

[barren kite]

They will just give me a new one. I have like 4 of them lol

[quaint forum]

Who's going to be staying in Hollywood?

I'll be at the Lexen

[barren kite]

I already been there lol. I'm about to go to Venice Beach after I hit Starbucks lol. Bad coffee, but I already had coffee at a local shop today

[quaint forum]

This sounds like a dream

I'm hoping to hit up Venice for a few hours after the show before driving back home to Arizona

[barren kite]

We're state neighbors lol

[sand shell]

Gnarwhal coffee in Venice/ SM is great

[quaint forum]

Heck yeah! Howdy

Venice is my spot if I'm ever in Cali. It just has everything you want for a vacation.

Alright, taking a nap for a few hours before hitting the road. You all stay safe, travel / drive safe, and I look forward to experiencing life with y'all soon.

[karmic tinsel]

We're at santa monica pier

[earnest spoke]

Venice here

we got here like 15min ago

@barren kite mention me when you get here

[formal hazel]

Just getting an Uber to Venice. Drop off at great white then I’ll cruise around there after I’ve eaten 😂 can’t explain how hungry I am!

[slender wadi]

I'll join you guys in an hour or so

[karmic tinsel]

We're workin our way that direction, hopefully see ya'll there!

[earnest spoke]

I'm a small blue hair hobbit walking around!

small hobbit, yup

[reef osprey]

Have we nailed down plans for tomorrow before the show or are we all waiting to see where we need to go first?

[sage shale]

It's real! It's happening! Just touched down in LA!! See you all tomorrow!!!!

[barren kite]

Google maps says I should be there at 6. So I'll see you soon

[sage shale]

I'm staying with and spending time with my sister. We are going to head to one of my favorite restaurants where I get spicy shrimp dumplings. You all enjoy your dinner plans!

[rancid parcel]

Will be enjoying the finest cuisine within walking distance. Got McDonalds calling my name.

[barren kite]

Lol ask for a hamburger add cheese

[rancid parcel]

Ofc

[barren kite]

Jk that will just annoy them

[sand shell]

Blueys in the Venice sm area is also good food

[cunning hare]

Deal, I’m flying on American / SkyWest.

[barren kite]

Don't you just love rush hour traffic

My car makes moving in rush hour traffic easy

It'll stop for me, start moving again, it's kinda funny lol. I guess this is how Tesla drivers feel

I see some smoke in the sky

Hope everyone's ok

[trim kestrel]

Fire map says there's one nearby that's 100% contained.

[barren kite]

#📸│photography message

Oh it's a EV fire

Wait

Na, just a bush fire

I saw it

[trim kestrel]

-crosses "small bush fire" off of CA bingo card-

[nimble zenith]

Who will be the first non-local to sing LOST at the top of their lungs after taking the wrong directions to the event?

[trim kestrel]

Better get the GPS ready, lol.

[copper frigate]

Not so much getting lost, it will be waking up in the correct time zone and not miss the whole thing 😂

[trim kestrel]

Do you guys have everything sorted and ready to go for tomorrow?

IDs, bags, etc?

All 20 alarms set?

[simple maple]

My flight delayed three hours🫠

[copper frigate]

About an hour til the internationals land ☺️

[trim kestrel]

Welcome to my humble abode.

[copper frigate]

Yeah all good 🙂

[copper frigate]

Do you provide tours?

[trim kestrel]

After the event is over, it's likely that we'll clump together into different groups and go for food.

We'll probably be hungry.

I plan on heading back home after chilling and food. I have work in the morning.

[barren kite]

LOL I'm lost in las Angeles looking for the right directions

[copper frigate]

Oooo sounds like a plan but I’m not sure how many will be racing over to LAX to catch their flights.

See how everyone feels afters tho

[trim kestrel]

Looooost. Cuz my GPS. Keeps telling me the wrong directions.

[reef osprey]

Mine does that and will also steer to keep me in the lane. I have to steer to switch lanes though

[barren kite]

I have a 2023 Toyota Highlander

I'm on ocean avenue

[reef osprey]

Nice my wife is looking at that car. I just got the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe

[reef osprey]

Definitely down to avoid the traffic heading back down south after the event.

[calm tiger]

On the plane to LAX right now - looking forward to meet y'all!

[trim kestrel]

Have a safe, comfy flight!

[earnest spoke]

if you see that blue blur passing you real fast in a bike it'llprobably me me

[calm tiger]

[trim kestrel]

You can ask via ModMail. And yeah, see that list if you haven't already.

[barren kite]

[earnest spoke]

Tagged you in photograph

[haughty turret]

I’ll be there at around 7pm (just arrived at my hotel), hope y’all are still around then?

[earnest spoke]

[haughty turret]

Oh and where exactly are you again? xD

Santa Monica pier?

[earnest spoke]

I'm at Venice beach on my way to sta monica pier by bike

[haughty turret]

Sounds all good to me!

[earnest spoke]

then I'll be back to meet you all

[haughty turret]

Oh btw I just asked at the reception for the staff to wake me up at 9 am in case all my alarms fail, I think you can ask this at most hotels!

[barren kite]

I made it to Venice

[earnest spoke]

[formal hazel]

Nice!

[earnest spoke]

most importantly how can I call you? xD

if you guys prefer to stay at Venice I can go back later

[reef osprey]

Oh yeah public restrooms in LA are horrendous

[sand shell]

Almost non existent

[earnest spoke]

there's a Metro bike station real close to fig tree

[sand shell]

Uber/lyft scooters are about too

[haughty turret]

Turns out I vastly underestimated distances in LA; I need 30+ minutes with Uber so it’ll be more like 19:30 yikes

[slender wadi]

Santa it is

[barren kite]

I made it to Santa Monica Pier

[karmic tinsel]

Sidewalk Cafe in Venice getting drinks if anyone wants to join.

[barren kite]

I rented an electric scooter. It was my first time driving a scooter

[karmic tinsel]

We'll finish these and try and head that way again. Lol

[formal hazel]

I’m next to sidewalk

Raise your hands so I can see you 😂

[earnest spoke]

no.way you made it with a scooter

just arrived

we tried using scooter but it blocked when we got to the beach

[barren kite]

I followed the path

[earnest spoke]

smart

where are you now

[barren kite]

In the Park lot

[slender wadi]

I should be at santa just after 7

[earnest spoke]

🤔

[barren kite]

Problem is I have to return mine at 7:25.

[earnest spoke]

[barren kite]

If someone could drive me back here once I need to return my scooter, I'd appreciate it

[earnest spoke]

I'll be right there

[barren kite]

Renting it for an hour may not have been the best idea lmao

[earnest spoke]

what time do you have to return it?

[barren kite]

7:25

[trim kestrel]

I haven't been there in a few years, but there was a scooter-return station not far from Bubba Gump back then. Idk which brands they were for.

[barren kite]

Too bad I rented it from a rental shop

[trim kestrel]

Oh. Poot.

[barren kite]

Yep. Question would be how to get back here once it's returned

It's a long walk

[earnest spoke]

almost there

[barren kite]

Alright!

[earnest spoke]

I'm here

[barren kite]

Hmmm. I'm horrible at social interactions lmao

[earnest spoke]

i can't see you xD

[barren kite]

I'm upstairs

[reef osprey]

Welcome to LA. Some of the worst traffic in the world

[barren kite]

Trying to find a parking lot

[nimble zenith]

My hotel is on Sunset right by Guitar Center. Doubt I'll be able to make it there , drop off my stuff and meet up.

[sand shell]

If you find a residential off Main Street it might be better/easier

[copper frigate]

I’m at baggage claim in Terminal B if you wanna say hi 👋

[reef osprey]

There is always brunch/lunch tomorrow before the event

At least last I heard there was still soft plan to meet up before the event

[formal hazel]

We’ve went into Bubba and sat at the bar upstairs for a quick drink

[haughty turret]

I just had the most chill Uber driver ever

[karmic tinsel]

[copper frigate]

Terminal B?

[earnest spoke]

[abstract ledge]

@barren kite this will be my first LP event ever, been always wanting to go since the 2000s, but I wasn't 18 until late 2000s but haven't had ant opportunities to go to any LP events after

[formal hazel]

We’re all here come on in

[maiden wigeon]

What Bubba Shrimp are people at? If I get my rental and checked in my hotel in enough time, I might join!

[formal hazel]

Red me to come to door again

It’s bubba on the pier

[copper frigate]

This is like where’s Waldo

[formal hazel]

Upstairs at the bar, it’s a bit crowded so we could move on

[abstract ledge]

It's okay, I can't even tell 🙂

[warm gazelle]

trying to catch the shuttle for Renaissance, doesn’t look like it’s stopping at every red post

[nimble zenith]

Nope just realized it's the opposite terminal. I flew in on Southwest.

[formal hazel]

Just tell the dude on the door you’re with the people at the bar (pink hat guy)

[earnest spoke]

ok

[abstract ledge]

Omggg you dont have the ticker yet but you can show the event confirmation through phone right lol

[reef osprey]

I’m assuming around 8 am

[abstract ledge]

Where's here?

[barren kite]

Bubba's

[abstract ledge]

Does anyone have an extra hotel room? I don't mind waiting tomorrow but I just live in Northern LA but unless I live out of LA area or state, country, then thwt would be needed

[barren kite]

#📸│photography message

[abstract ledge]

Where will this be at? Only for people staying at the hotel?

[neon canyon]

Hopefully it’s kindaaaaa near LAX so everyone doesn’t have to leave at 10am to account for traffic lol

I’ll be leaving the Renaissance early. I rented a small car but they ran out so now I have a brand new Chrysler Minivan for the next few days😵‍💫🤣

[warm gazelle]

just checked in at the renaissance

[neon canyon]

Floor 7 here

[maiden wigeon]

I think it’s for anyone! The goal was to meet up somewhere somewhat close to the event location that they’re sending out tomorrow

What’s parking looking like at Bubba?

[slender wadi]

It exists

I don't know how much it costs

[neon canyon]

Beside it on the beach level parking lot is $15

[reef osprey]

As @maiden wigeon said it’s for anyone here who wants to join. We are going to pick somewhere closer to the venue once we know where it is haha

[barren kite]

[maiden wigeon]

I’m actually staying at the La Quinta! More than happy to pick anyone up that doesn’t want to Uber, just let me know!

[warm gazelle]

[maiden wigeon]

[boreal flume]

It’ll be great! We’re all in this together!

If anyone needs a clear bag for the event, Target has a slew of them.

[reef osprey]

It’s that fear of the unknown

I would love them to also announce a new project revolution tour

[elder narwhal]

I hate not being in the know, you know? 😂

[earnest spoke]

i sent mods picture of a bag im bringing and its not transparent and they said its ok

[balmy inlet]

Freddiediggles & I are planning to meet up at LAX between 8:30-8:48 tomorrow & Uber together. Let’s share an uber/lyft!

[main jacinth]

So should we meet at location and go from there or figure out in the AM once we get location. I was planning to get dropped off at location, I ’m coming from LAX area maybe I can catch a ride with someone

[hushed cloud]

read #│september-5th since info has been updated

[balmy inlet]

Perfect! Saw @sick gazelle’s msg first and thought I replied to her, but I must have done something wrong.

[earnest spoke]

@formal hazel @barren kite @karmic tinsel @slender wadi @haughty turret @maiden wigeon @warm gazelle we’re home 🥰

[warm gazelle]

Oh. The Patsouras Plaza. That's where I'm at.

[barren kite]

Are you able to use Google maps?

[formal hazel]

Around 6 of us heading to Dialog tomorrow AM from about 10am onwards. A few of us will be in West Hollywood area prior to that have a look around too 👋🏻

[sand shell]

There should be a flyaway bus that’ll take you to Union station

[supple goblet]

It's confusing but I followed some people I think I found my way 🤣

[sand shell]

Nvm ignore this!!

[maiden wigeon]

For the couple of people interested in going to West Hollywood tomorrow morning, what time did we want to meet? I know I’m driving a couple of us, and I was thinking about leaving around 7:00-7:30

[elder narwhal]

I was planning on heading out at around 8ish?

[reef osprey]

The current plan is to meet up at dialog cafe around 10

[elder narwhal]

I know traffic into and out of LA is about an hour during weekday mornings

[vernal patio]

Don’t forget to charge your devices tonight!

[reef osprey]

Ugh don’t remind me. I gotta drive from south of Irvine

[elder narwhal]

I hate it too but we gotta make sure we take that traffic time into account!

[reef osprey]

Yeah it’s looking like a 2 hour drive for me

😖

Alright I better pass out so I can actually stay awake during that morning drive

[odd sable]

Just landed in L.A.!!! I'm sleepy 🥱

[somber verge]

Hope everyone has a safe, fun, and great time in LA today!!!

[vernal patio]

FYI - various Targets have clear vinyl bags

[main jacinth]

Ok so I’m near LAX does anyone want to meet up in the morning and ride together

[lost surge]

Hey, I've travelled in from England and staying in the intercontinental in downtown LA. I'm driving (unless it's super close to my hotel) and anyone is welcome to join me, I'd appreciate the company tbh.
Also anyone in the know, where's a good place within driving distance to stock up on drinks and food etc?

Feel free to message me, I lose track of this conversation

[copper frigate]

Dropped you a DM 🙂

[cunning hare]

Early morning! In Boise airport headed to LAX

[quaint forum]

We're so fricken close

We're going to have a lot to discuss on the bus headed back where we're from when the shuttle drops us off

[cunning hare]

I’m just now at Boise with for my flight!

It’s my first Linkin park event and I feel like I’m meeting a life long friend who was always there for me.

[sand shell]

No email yet!! Hopefully soon…

[sage shale]

Same!!

[cunning hare]

A group of us from discord is meeting In LAX around 8:30 - 848 let me know if your around there that time

[sick gazelle]

At my gate at SFO and boarding soon! I’ll be landing in LAX around 8:30 so happy to join that crew. Let me know where everyone is going to meet 🙂

[maiden wigeon]

For anyone meeting at Dialog between 10-11, a handful of us are also leaving to go to West Hollywood beforehand to do some touristy things. Plan is to get there sometime between 8-8:30!

[wanton rapids]

I'm headed to west Hollywood as well, I'll aim for 8ish too

[obsidian solar]

How can you know it is close to the location ?

[maiden wigeon]

We don’t know, but we figured that West Hollywood is a good central point to wherever the location will be. Should only be about 30 minute drive hopefully

[barren kite]

That's good to know

[obsidian solar]

It is 18km and 50mn far from our hotel. We are in Segundo, close to LAX
So, expensive with a taxi

Small more rest. The email will awake 🤘🏼

[maiden wigeon]

Ahhhh all good! We’ll see you at the event 🫡

[quaint forum]

Where's Dialog at and how many of y'all are there?

I'm a hotel right outside the Bowl

[maiden wigeon]

It’s in West Hollywood!

[quaint forum]

🤘🏻

[main jacinth]

I was planning to wait til we are given the location and plan from there. Last time I was shuttled we were picked up in Westwood.

I’m not far from LAX so if anyone near me wants to hook up and ride together please dm me

[wanton rapids]

I'm about to leave for w. Hollywood from the renaissance

[maiden wigeon]

Do you want a ride?? I’m heading to the renaissance to pick up another member!

[sage shale]

[maiden wigeon]

[earnest spoke]

[unreal moon]

Sweetness

[sage shale]

Waiting for the email!! Both of my rides are heading to work, so we were hoping we would have known by now to figure out ride times, etc in person.
Texting and calling later it is, apparently...

[peak bough]

Hehe, same. Both friends I am staying with already left for work and are waiting to hear where I’ll be today.

[maiden wigeon]

The excitement just went up a level

[calm tiger]

My mail went into spam!

[trim kestrel]

Haven’t gotten mine? If it’s universal that’s funny bc that’s where I’m staying 😛

[slender wadi]

[cunning hare]

No email yet!

[odd sable]

It's anyone near LAX still heading there? Uber is expensive 😫

[reef osprey]

Good morning y’all.

[ashen atlas]

I was hoping this side of town was the right choice as well hahaha

[quaint forum]

Good morning!

I'm pumped dude

[abstract ledge]

What is?

[opal moat]

I am

[bleak meteor]

Bunch of us are about to be there in ~ 30mins

[quaint forum]

Google maps says I'm 5 minutes away

[ashen atlas]

Maybe they are emailing in the order of the groups selected… I was selected on the 3rd

[simple maple]

i am

[rancid parcel]

I didn’t get the email yet

[quaint forum]

We're meeting at Universal Studios parking garage

[abstract ledge]

Ayone know where the gathering spot is and free brunch is at for LPU attendees and what time

[abstract ledge]

What time?

[reef osprey]

No email yet for me either 😨

[quaint forum]

12:30-1:30

[odd sable]

Can I go with yall? I also have a backpack and leave tonight so really trying to avoid relying on a luggage storage place 🙃 I'm at the motel 6 next to LAX

[abstract ledge]

Is that where they say it is?

[unreal moon]

Didn't get the email yet 😦

[karmic tinsel]

I just got it

[wicked bay]

Check spam

[barren kite]

Maybe I'll get it within the next 5 minutes

[abstract ledge]

I have spam but it's not there either

[neon canyon]

I haven’t gotten mine either

[barren kite]

I would avoid sending the location here

[sick gazelle]

I got the email, but don’t have a ticket in my Ticketmaster account yet. Does anyone have their ticket yet?

[ashen atlas]

We’ll get it… it’ll happen… lol

[barren kite]

To protect ourselves

[wicked bay]

Maybe they get sent out in portions

[quaint forum]

Yes 🙂

[abstract ledge]

How did you guys know?

[earnest spoke]

I was in the first 🤔

[barren kite]

That's what I'm thinking

[calm tiger]

No

[rancid parcel]

If it’s at the location yall saying it is, google maps saids it’s an hour away due to traffic. 😅

[quaint forum]

I just got the email

[ashen atlas]

Oof

[neon canyon]

I haven’t gotten ticket or email😬 does it make anyone else anxious?🤣

[earnest spoke]

still nothing 😭

[barren kite]

constantly refreshing email

[quaint forum]

How the heck did I end up staying 5 minutes away

[ashen atlas]

Yes!!!

[quaint forum]

This is crazy

[sick gazelle]

My email went to spam btw so be sure to check that as well

[opal moat]

@odd sable sent you a DM

[rancid parcel]

Maybe staying near lax wasn’t such a good idea lmao

[unreal moon]

Just got it!

[abstract ledge]

I just got the email!

[copper frigate]

BREATHE!!! We’ll get there 😂 This is more to myself who is anxious 😬

[ashen atlas]

If you wanna be there by 12:30 or earlier I’d leave by 11 the latest

[barren kite]

If I'm able to, I can give you a lift

[earnest spoke]

I'm 5km away 🙏

[unreal moon]

Universal is a little farther and traffic always sucks

[peak bough]

I’m planning on taking the metro— it’s an option if you are close to downtown and rideshare is surging

[abstract ledge]

Does anyone know what kind of event it is? Are we gonna be part of a music vid or something? 😅

[rancid parcel]

Appreciate you 🙏🏽

[barren kite]

Idk yet

[muted nest]

That's what I'm aiming for. I'm doing this whole trip car-less

[barren kite]

I hope it's a concert. But we will find out

I'm just about to leave

[reef osprey]

It’s possible it’s a concert and music video filming

[earnest spoke]

I'm actually more worried about not getting the email xD

[ashen atlas]

That’s what I was thinking

[unreal moon]

We will almost certainly be included in the Livestream

[neon canyon]

Same.

[burnt dock]

Same

[ashen atlas]

Me too😭

[neon canyon]

4 hours early? Same though lol

[unreal moon]

It does seem to be going out in batches

[barren kite]

They're probably sending emails one person at a time

[quaint forum]

Don't be worried, y'all. You'll get it.

[ashen atlas]

I gotta start getting ready but this email situation is killing me lol

[simple maple]

still nothing

[quaint forum]

I got the email but no ticket yet.

[rancid parcel]

Prolly gonna hit us one by one. I

[reef osprey]

Those who got it already, what email did it come from?

[unreal moon]

Ticketmaster

[quaint forum]

Ticketnaater

Or that lol

[barren kite]

Maybe by last name

[earnest spoke]

oh so I'm gonna be the last one xD

[unreal moon]

Ooof

[neon canyon]

Oh my. Ticketmaster isn’t the most reliable lol

[abstract ledge]

Ticketstoday email of ticketmaster

[neon canyon]

I’m a W. Rip

I’ll be last lol

[earnest spoke]

[calm tiger]

My plan is to store my backpack near Hollywood/Highland using Bounce and then take the Metro. If that helps anyone! :)

[ashen atlas]

Oh gosh me too!!! Last name is W

[barren kite]

That's a W

[rancid parcel]

I’m at B and I still don’t have the email. 😭😭

[abstract ledge]

Is parking free?

[reef osprey]

My last name starts with e and I got nothing yet

[rancid parcel]

So prolly ain’t that

[barren kite]

Hmm. So maybe at random

[calm tiger]

Yes

[neon canyon]

Doubtful it’s LA

[neon canyon]

YAY

[keen bay]

Nothing here, refreshing email all time

[vernal patio]

I’m literally staying at the Sheraton at Universal, I look out my window and there’s a Minion peeking over a parking garage, lol

[copper frigate]

You’ll get before me I’m M

[reef osprey]

Are we still on for dialog cafe?

[ashen atlas]

If it’s where everyone is saying… parking is free if they are told it’s an event. If not, then I believe it’s around 30 bucks for that lot

[barren kite]

Yes I'm heading there as soon as I leave my house

[quaint forum]

Hell yes, man

[calm tiger]

You need to show your digital ticket for parking

[abstract ledge]

Oh so that's it then

[ashen atlas]

Oh sweet so parking is free

[reef osprey]

I’m getting ready then I’ll hope on the road. Should be their in 2 hours

[ashen atlas]

AHHHH

[unreal moon]

Now it's a question of what LP shirt to wear

[quaint forum]

The answer is yes

[barren kite]

I just got an email from Chase

[barren kite]

I'm wearing papercuts

[peak bough]

My oldest LPU shirt or my newest LP shirt?

[ashen atlas]

All my lp merch and shirts are in a keepsake box
I have 0 shirts😭

[earnest spoke]

the in between

im wearing my lpu13

[reef osprey]

I’m a fluffy guy and they don’t make band shirts my size so I’ll be in a Star Wars shirt haha

[ashen atlas]

Im wearing all black🤷‍♀️

[peak bough]

Also really debating jeans because it’s indoors and might be chilly or shorts because it’s hot literally everywhere else. Too bad I don’t have LP pants.

[unreal moon]

Bummer

[copper frigate]

I’m torn which shirt to wear. LP1 or HP 😬

[unreal moon]

With the outdoors components I'd recommend shorts

[reef osprey]

Tell me about

[ashen atlas]

Shorts, shirt, shoes, 👌

[south pebble]

While I wait for my email, is it accessible via metro? I'm trying to avoid driving if I can.

[edgy seal]

Maybe to the shirt...maybe...

[quaint forum]

Sock puppet ✅️

[earnest spoke]
