My name is Jesse and I am 22. I am in the Canadian Airforce in North Bay but originally from the Hammer 8) . So anyway if your wondering who all of a sudden barged in and started posting it was me :oops: sorry lol.

Hi, my name is David

I live in Fall River, NS. I'm 24, and the Hip are my favorite band. I am an athlete, and can't wait for the new album!

Hey everyone, I've been a member for a little while but have not formally introduced myself.

My name is Matt. I'm from Fredericton, NB and I've been obsessed with the Hip since 1992. I met the Hip, in 1998 and told Gord that I was a songwriter myself and he was my biggest inspiration. Gord signed my Phantom Power booklet "Matt Power. Happy Days" (my last name is not Power!) I also got my picture taken with the band.

I'm so obsessed with the Hip that I can sing and play and every single Hip song on the Guitar. They are what inspired me to learn the guitar over 10 years ago.

Long live the HIP!!!!

Welcome to the Hipbase. You are definitely a very dedicated fan. Your screen name is very appropriate since it was given to you by Gord himself.

It's funny,right now I'm listening to Daredevil and about 2 weekz ago i was watching that Timon and Pumbba cartoon and they were chasing this dude down tyring to deliver a bouquet of roses to him which the guy did not want so they were chasing him all over the earth and they came to these waterfallz and the amircat,timon is it?said to pumba"do you think its safe going over these waterfallz in this barrel?,they were actaully in a barrel!!and the boar said well we got our daredevil helmetz on so we'll be safe or some shit like that, anywho I thought that the writerz of that eposode must be Hipsterz or something.If your ever potatoeing it 1 fine afternoon and you seen that show you may run into that one....
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Get this dude. When I was in Niagra Falls way back in 1993, I bought a little book at the gift shop called "Niagra and the Daredevils". It tells the stories of all the people that attempted to go over the falls in barrels. The stories are pretty crazy, but all true. Many of the men who did it were killed.

Anyway, DFN came out the year after I bought this book and I always wondered if Gord bought it too and it inspired him to write the song.

I live in Minnesota, where the sky is clear and people can be dull. Adapting to this enviorment is a life long process. The Hip makes that all go away. I have met them on numerous occasions and met Gordon last year in Minneapolis. I have yet to be disappointed. They fill me with worth and some times seems Gordon writes the songs just for me. The music speeks to me. I know you all understand that.

Hi Everyone:

I'm originally from Kingston, but now call Ottawa my home. Was just cruisin' sites and came across this one.

Became a Hip fan while living overseas. I saw "Small Town Bringdown" on Canada Calling. That was somewhere around 1987. It was just what this homesick kid needed. I've been a fan ever since.

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 17 years. Man, do I feel old.....

Great Site!!

K-Town :mrgreen:
