OMG!!!!!!!! :shock:

I can't believe it took me so long to find all of you. I should have googled "Tragically Hip setlists" eons ago. For some reason, all but two of my friends just don't seem to like them. :cry:

I've been a fan of the band since Up To Here was released. I have seen them 11 times and counting. And do I have photos....

I like Pearl Jam, U2, most every single Canadian rock act going *and Swollen Members*. Guides, Sparks and Algonquin. I have a weakness for HTZ FM. CSI: LV, House and Gilmore Girls.

Born and raised in Southern Ontario. :mrgreen:

*edit to add* I'm still finding my way around. Could I enlist someone to make a Hip avvie, please?

Welcome to you, fellow Southern Ontarian. I was born in Windsor myself, would that be around your neck of the woods?

You are within listening distance of HTZ FM (I assume 97.7) which is in St. Catharines. I live in Thorold, which is right next door. Very cool to hear about the other Hip fans in the area. Welcome to the Hipbase!

Hi, thanks everyone. I was born and raised in Mississauga. Great to see so many HTZ listeners. I have that same sticker, Stephen Dame. I wanted to go up to Kristy and Paulie and say "hi" that night, but I chickened out. Still kicking myself over that.

Hello everyone!
I'm from Windsor Ontario and have just rekindled my love for the Hip. I've been a fan for ages, and I picked up the boxed set last month- and I had forgotten somehow how much I love their music.

Now excuse me, I need to work on some sort of profile and such...

:welcome Seems like there is a lot of new members here lately, thats nice to see. Posting new members to boot, most new members dont post at all or post once and dissapear, I hope some of these enthusiastic new members will stay around for awhile and become a part of the base, there is always strength in numbers! Plus some new perspectives and opinions might liven this place up a bit. (and Im not suggesting it needed it) :wink:

Good point LK! I have a feeling the link on thehip.com is helping, coupled with the Greatest Hits release. I've seen a significant jump in traffic on my sites since the link was added.

Looks like Hipeponymous is doing what it was intended, pleasing the die-hard fans and making new ones at the same time. Im sure there's other reasons for the increased traffic flow, but the box set has helped Im sure. Hey, more the merrier!
