    As many of you may or may not know, I am an active member of the official Fort Minor Street Team. Recentely around the release date of Fort Minor's "The Rising Tied" the street team held a contest, where fans have their own "referral link" and have to get as many clickthroughs as possible for the official MTV leak.

    I ended the contest with close to 500 clickthroughs (494 to be exact). Sadly of course since some people are just crazy, I didn't win the contest. But I worked VERY hard to get those 494 clickthroughs because I wanted to promote Mike as much as possible (even while getting bitched at for forums for spamming) cause I just wanted him to be promoted.

    So I go out to my mailbox where I am shocked to find this in a Machine Shop Marketing shipping envelope:

    There it is, all 5 touring members of Fort Minor signed in real ink. You have Mike Shinoda on the upper left, Beat Down on the lower left, Cheapshot on the bottom, Takbir in the middle and good ol' Ryu on the left. This more than made up for the cancelled show in Philly!

    I still cant believe it, one of the best christmas presents I've gotten. Fort Minor rocks.

    So, as I related earlier, I was one of the first 100 to sign up for the Fort Minor Militia. At the time of posting, I said that I was going to get a signed FMM DVD.

    Turns out I got more.

    Yesterday, I recieved a SECOND Fort Minor Militia package, meaning I now have TWO membership cards, two of each sticker, and two unsigned DVDs.

    But also in the package was an official Fort Minor: We Major Mixtape, and the signed DVD.

    I'd show pictures, but someone stole my digital camera in November.
