Linkin Park’s tour will once again help out Linkin Park ’s charitable organization when it kicks off today.

“We are donating a dollar from every ticket to Music For Relief on this tour,” says Mike Shinoda. “In the past, we’ve planted trees with that money, done work with Habitat For Humanity with that money in New Orleans rebuilding homes there.” The emcee says that with so many disasters of late, the band has yet to determine where the money will go, but they will once again help out those in need. Meanwhile, singer Chester Bennington says he’s also planning to auction off his PT Cruiser.

“It’s like one of my favorite things in the world,” says Bennington . “It’s very special and close to me and it was the first car I bought myself….I put a lot of love into this car and it’s totally customized and everything’s really cool about it, at least in my opinion.” [The Edge]

Hang Nguyen from the OC Register wrote a follow up article to his interview with Chester last year about Ve'cel.

Ve’cel, which hit stores last year, can be found at the following Orange County shops, said brand manager Matt Tumolo: Relic Street & Style at the Irvine Spectrum Center, The Look at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, Disney Vault 28 at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, Planet Funk at Brea Mall.

Tumolo declined to release unit sales for Ve’cel and the total number of stores the brand is selling in.

Mark Morreale, store manager for the Irvine Relic, whose business is based in Lake Forest, has been selling Ve’cel since around December. He’s already placed two orders for T-shirts, ranging from $50 to $60, and hoodie zip-up sweatshirts that go for $123.

Of the 60 total T-shirts he’s ordered, about a third have sold. Of the 7 sweatshirts he ordered, five have sold.

“It’s selling well,” Morreale said. “When people first see the artwork on the clothes, they think it’s cool. Once they find out it’s Chester, they like it even more.”
