OK, so now that I've discovered this thread....


My name is Rob. I'm 19, and I'm doing a double major BBA/Spanish at Acadia University in Wolfville, NS. I've been a casual Hip fan for a while, but I didn't get super into them until the last little while. I love music in general, and play guitar (oddly enough, I have almost identical instruments to both Gord D. - Takamine Acoustic - and Robby - PRS Custom 22). I obviously love the Hip, but I also really enjoy Oasis, U2, Great Big Sea, The Goo Goo Dolls, Powderfinger and Matthew Good (Band). Not much else to know... :)

Hey everyone, I'm a 24yr old going to the University of Guelph and I've been crazy about the Hip since I was 14 or so. The first songs I remember hearing that I really got into were Daredevil and Nautical Disaster. I grew up in Montreal and just went back there a few weeks ago to catch my first Hip concert (what the heck took me so long?!?!) It was truly an awesome experience and I'm going to see them again in Hamilton for new years with about 20 other people. Looking forward to it so much!

That's about it,

Mike

Hey All,

I was looking for a Hip message board and finally found one, my name is Paul and im from Hamilton (23 yrs old).

I saw the Hip first back in 99, again at Grey Cup and now on New Years in Hamilton, they put on a great show and I will admit i didnt really become a fan until the last couple years.

My absolutle Favourite band is Bon Jovi with the Hip following in second now.

Im happy to be apart of the message board :)

Relatively new fan from England.
So hello there from me, and I'm off to lurk around the boards a bit.

Hey there.

The name's Stace, am 20yrs old and from Wales (uk), though now reside in London where I go to Uni.

Sort of new to the world of The Hip; heard them before and liked them, but memory jogged by a friend not too long ago.
Forgot how much I enjoyed their stuff, so thought I might pop along here.

Am more likely to lurk tha post, but will prob read everything and anything that's posted.

So, I guess I'll catch some of you around...

Greetings and salutations! My name is Amanda, and I hail from one of New York City's northern suburbs, a little tiny place called Mahopac. I'm currently a fifth-year seniour in the environmental engineering program at the University at Buffalo. I remember being in the car while my mom pumped gas, hearing "My Music @ Work" on the radio. It stuck with me for weeks before I learned who it was. I was officially hooked.

My first Hip show was the Music Without Borders tribute concert in 2001, and the only other time I've seen them was at Irving Plaza in NYC in 2003. I feel so out it :P

Hi folks--having just posted a reply to a thread, I thought I had better run in here and introduce myself as well. My name is Shelley, I'm... well, I'm old, okay?... and I'm in Halifax. Yes, I was at the Hip show this past December. Right at the back, but had a great time. I was introduce to the Hip by my younger brother long about the time of Road Apples and was a casual fan for years. Then I spent several years living in the southern US and discovered how much I missed not being able to count on a certain amount of ambient Hip--the night I stumbled over "Blow At High Dough" on Rick Mercer's show on PBS, I nearly burst into tears. Object lesson in not taking the good stuff for granted.

Anyway, having learned my lesson, here I am. I'm really enjoying reading this forum. Cheers!
