Fort Minor Militia: Year One package

To accompany the Fort Minor project, Mike Shinoda launched a fanclub similar to the LP Underground entitled the Fort Minor Militia on October 26, 2005. Like the LPU, the FMM came with presale opportunities, meet & greets, and select merch items. An additional perk with the Fort Minor Militia was a monthly release of a Fort Minor demo (or demos) on the Militia website. Mike used the FMM to release songs that otherwise likely would not have seen the light of day. Starting in November 2005 and continuing to June 2006, a track was released every month, complete with commentary by Mike, totaling eight demos.

Package

For $15US, fans could get a membership package for Fort Minor Militia, Fort Minor's official fan club, at Best Buy (or online) that included:

  • Access to the members-only content on FortMinorMilitia.com
  • DVD of Fort Minor Videos
  • Fort Minor Stickers
  • Fort Minor Marker Pen
  • Letter from Mike Shinoda
  • Opportunities to meet Fort Minor at future meet & greets
  • Ticket presale opportunities

As a second option, fans could pay $10US to get access to the Fort Minor Militia site only.
