Hey everyone, I'm a relatively new Hip fan. Well, I've had most of their albums for a few years now, but I'm only starting to get into them. Going to my first show on 11.14 with a good friend of mine who isn't really a Hip fan. Thanks for this awesome site btw!
Cheers,
Caleb

Hey there, fellow Hipsters ~ :)

I'm a newbie here to hipbase ~ just thought I'd say hello. I've been a Hip fan for years, but after seeing the BEST show of my life Sunday night in Philly I was inspired to finally check this sight out and sign up, so here I am!

Looking forward to Baltimore!

Hey, My Name is Andrew from Smyrna, Tennessee (it's a suburb of Nashville), I just registered here but I've been a fan of the hip now for a couple of years (since a Canadian friend of mine turned me on to them). I'm a student at Virginia Tech, and I just saw my first hip concert last saturday in DC (I was the kid in the Preds jersey with the fro down front). Needless to say I was absolutely blown away, even with the great things I've heard about the Hip's concerts. I hope I can see many more, but the chances down here in the south are few and far between . . . anyway thought I'd say hey.

Welcome aboard Andrew! You're one of the few, the fortunate, because for you, it could be Nashville every night. :)

Dates are often added as the tour goes on, so keep hoping and stay up to date. I'd love to road-trip to Nashville to see a show. Besides the obvious reason, my daughter lives in Clarksville and I'd love for her to see a live Hip show. I know she too would be blown away and I want to show her that her old man isn't nuts for being so wrapped up in Hip Culture.

Rock on!

Um, I'm not exactly brand new but I never saw this thread. I'm from Thorold in Ontario and have been a Hip fan ever since I first heard Courage on the radio when I was like 10. I'm a student at Brock University and there is a very loyal Hip following there. Love this site.

Jeff

where has this site been all my life?

hey all-new to the site-hip fan of 11 years-veteran of 60+ shows and 5 or six GD solo shows. very cool to see a whole lot of people just as rabid and crazy as i am! looking forward to pitt and rochester the next few days and possibly hitting 70 shows this tour. (total not 70 IBE shows :).)
recent highlights include DC and PHILLY (which was my 30th b-day!)
recent lowlights include the SARNIA debacle (see reviews)
if anybody's in PITT look for the fat dude in a red "life is good hat"
good friends, good beer, and the hip. life is good.

Hey this is my first time posting on the site. I met Mrlayance standing outside the show in Minneapolis last night so I figured I would chime in. For anyone who was there I was the big guy in the black T-Shirt up along the railing.

I'm from Minne and I was never a really big hip fan until my wife dragged me to a show in Minneapolis a couple years back. I'm a fan of the music but I really love the Hip because they are one of the best if not the best band to hear live. I'm convinced Gordie is insane but I wouldn't want it any other way. 8)

My favorite Hip album is Phantom Power and my favorite song is....you guessed it, Fire in the Hole.

Anyway, I haven't looked around the site too much yet, but I plan too. It seems like you guys have a good thing going here.

Take care,

Steve
