Ahoy sailers,

I have come upon another copy of the Labatt Blue promo cd. Is anyone willing to do a trade for the Wasaga DVD?

If that alone doesnt wet your whistle I can throw the Lbatt OLP cd and the Sum41 one as well.

Any takers?

I have tried to download the dvd off STG, but it never worked out.

Thanks,
L. Pines

anyone else hear this story

it seems like toronto keeps getting these crazy situations/people

I've heard different versions but I wanted to know the general consensus.

Does anyone know where I can find a good post about the meaning behind it cant be nashville everynight?

I'm a long-time fan relocated to the Bay Area from northern Washington State. I do my best to expand the horizons of the few around me I feel that deserve some good 'ole Canadian rock and roll imports.

Are there many here in the Bay Area know the Hip and use this site? If so, I would love to know how they were introduced and any thoughts on the upcoming October show.

Also, are there good places to discuss lyrics and various interpretations of them here or elsewhere? I'm always fascinated by Gord's lyrics and willing to discuss.....I mean it can be difficult being an American and knowing the Canadian culture that well....I knew what a "Toonie" was, but I certainly had to Google "Busker"!

Cheers to you all, I haven't been this excited about a concert since the last time they were at the Fillmore. It was nice to be able to bump into Gord and Paul on the street, safe in their anonymity in San Francisco.

:jump

PS -Please excuse the crappy BW scan, but does anyone else out there have this piece handed out at the October 2002 Fillmore show?

top ten bands you want to see live...

1. Pearl Jam
2. Tenacious D
3. Tool
4. Strapping Young Lad
5. Judas Priest
6. Slayer
7. Primus
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. U2
10. David Bowie/Bruce Springsteen (tie)

also, if any of the following got back together they'd be on the list for sure:

Pink Floyd, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, Moist, Stone Temple Pilots, White Zombie, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins (saw them in 96 but one last time would be incredible)

honourable mentions to: Matthew Good, I Mother Earth, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Green Day, Foo Fighters, A Perfect Circle, Marilyn Manson, Monster Magnet, Breach Of Trust, K-OS, Deftones, Prodigy, KMFDM, Ministry, and of course the MISFITS.

I was just browsing the Ticketswest.com site looking for info on the Oct. 11th Hip show in Spokane. (for some reason they're not using ticketmaster for the Seattle and Spokane shows). So I click on the Hip link and it says that tickets don't go on sale until this Friday (Aug. 27). A few minutes later I clicked on it again and suddenly it asks me for a password. So immediately I'm thinking to myself "is this the HipClub pre-sale??" I quickly checked the Hip's site, but it still says "tba" beside the Spokane date. So out of curiosity I tried the password given to us in the last HipClub e-mail and sure enough it worked. I now have 4 tickets for the gig in Spokane. The weird part is that now when you click on the Hip link, an error message keeps popping up and it won't even give you the regular info. It's very weird. Maybe there isn't any pre-sale at all and I just happened to luck out due to some glitch in their system.


Anyway, here's the link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ticketswest.com/TW/search/EventsByCity.asp?City=spokane&State=WA">http://www.ticketswest.com/TW/search/Ev ... e&State=WA</a><!-- m -->

Scroll down the page a bit and under the heading "rock music" click on the Tragically Hip link. Are the rest of you getting the same error message??

Phish To Reward Spurned Festival Fans

Fans turned away from Phish's career-capping Coventry festival in Vermont earlier this month will receive free digital downloads from the event, including the soundcheck, as well as a one-of-a-kind photo book autographed by the band.

Phish manager John Paluska announced the plan in a lengthy letter to fans on the band's official Web site. The photo book will be compiled by photographer Danny Clinch and will feature images spanning from 1994 to the present.

"These books are being created specifically for those of you who missed the Coventry shows and will never be sold or available in any other way," he writes. "It will take a number of weeks to get these books printed, signed and shipped, but we will get them to you as quickly as we can."

Paluska's letter outlines in detail the anguished decision to turn ticketholders away from the festival grounds, after heavy rains rendered large portions of the site unusable. Thousands of fans wound up leaving their vehicles on Interstate 91 and walking up to 25 miles to the concert.

"A frustration expressed in many of your e-mails is that those of you who followed instructions every step of the way ended up with the short end of the stick, while those who didn't heed our requests ended up getting in to see the show," Paluska says. "And that on top of that, the band expressed their appreciation to those of you who parked your cars on the road and walked in. I can completely understand how many of you who turned around (or never left your houses) are angry about this, and I'm deeply sorry that things went the way they did."

"In the end, after reviewing all the events of Coventry in my mind, I don't second guess any of the key decisions that were made," he continues. "We were dealt some extreme conditions by Mother Nature and we made the best of a very difficult situation. All of you were incredibly patient and considerate in the face of these trying circumstances. The locals are still talking about how courteous and friendly the fans were to them. People worked together. Our staff worked long hours on little sleep and under immense pressure, yet never wavered from the task at hand."

According to wire reports, removing trash from Interstate 91 and U.S. Route 5, the highways leading up to the concert site, will cost promoter Great Northeast Productions $35,000. Crews from the Vermont agency of transportation's districts in Derby and St. Johnsbury spent three days cleaning up the area.

or just dreaming...i know i had a few last night, but i was certain there was a thread titled "Matt Good", and i'm sure i replied to it...now i can't seem to find it, although i can only see out of one eye, and my head is going to explode..

Calling all Buffalo, Rochester, and Ontario fans going to the Syracuse show.

I am going to the Syracuse show from Buffalo and hate the idea of a 6 hour roundtrip drive after the show......Anyone else?

If so I've got an idea...a Charter Bus to do all the work.

I've looked into it and it would only cost around $20 U.S. each for 23 people or $16 U.S. for 46 people.

The Bus will leave from Buffalo location, gather all Ontario and Buffalo fans, and make one stop at a Rochester location to pick up all you Rochesterites.

I've already got 5 people on the list.

ALL ARE WELCOME

SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS

Let me know. ASAP

P.S. There will be no profit made by me.
