Attention all hip fans. I didn't even know where to post this because there are tons of July 1st threads now so I decided to start a new thread.
Anyways, to the point. I'm selling 2 tickets in section 203, ROW O, seats 2-3
They are right on the asile towards the centre which is really good.
Face value is $73.25 each = $146.50
PM me if interested!!

Hey there,
Need some help from you experienced guitar players out there. A few summers ago I bought a cheap acoustic guitar ($99 US Fender Squire - entry level) and I regretted it ever since. I can't play it for more than 10 minutes before my fingers start to ache from holding the strings down.
I want to get another one but don't wanna spend a whole lot of cashola - probably about $250 Cdn max. I'll probably end up buying it off the net, so a make and model would be very helpful.
Thanks guys :mrgreen:
LOS ANGELES -- "Curb Your Enthusiasm," an HBO show known for its acerbic wit, accidentally helped deliver a happy ending to a man who had been charged with murder.
Juan Catalan spent 5½ months in jail on murder charges before his attorney found video footage taken by the show at Dodger Stadium that backs up his client's claims of innocence.
Police arrested Catalan in August, alleging he killed Martha Puebla, 16, in the San Fernando Valley on May 12, 2003, because she had testified against his brother in another case.
Catalan insisted he and his 6-year-old daughter were watching the Los Angeles Dodgers lose to the Atlanta Braves, 11-4, minutes before Puebla was killed about 20 miles north of the stadium.
He said he had ticket stubs from the game and testimony from his family as to his whereabouts the night Puebla was killed. But police still believed he was responsible, saying they had a witness who placed Catalan at the scene of the slaying. Catalan said he asked to take a lie detector test, but was refused.
Defense attorney Todd Melnik subpoenaed the Dodgers and Fox Networks, which owned the team then, to scan videotape of the televised baseball game and footage from its "Dodger Vision" cameras. Some of the videotapes showed where Catalan was sitting but Melnik couldn't make him out.
Melnik later learned that HBO had been at the stadium the night of the killing to tape an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," a comedy starring "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David. The lawyer found what he was looking for in footage that had not made the final cut.
"I got to one of the scenes, and there is my client sitting in a corner of the frame eating a hot dog with his daughter," Melnik said. "I nearly jumped out of my chair and said, 'There he is!'"
The tapes had time codes that allowed Melnik to find out exactly when Catalan was at the ballpark. Melnik also obtained cell phone records that placed his client near the stadium later that night, about 20 minutes before the murder.
The attorney said it would have been impossible for Catalan to get out of the parking lot, change vehicles and clothing and play with his daughter as well as kill Puebla during that span.
Catalan, who could have faced the death penalty had he been convicted of murder, was released in January because a judge ruled there was no evidence to try him.
"To hear the words from the judge's mouth, I just broke down in tears," Catalan, 26, said Tuesday. "It was the happiest moment in my life."
Catalan, now raising his family and working with his father as a machinist, has submitted a claim against the city of Los Angeles, alleging false imprisonment, misconduct and defamation of character. Puebla's murder remains unsolved and the case against Catalan's brother, who is accused of being the driver in a drive-by shooting, is still pending.
Prosecutors and police did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday. Other evidence also helped dismiss the case against Catalan, but the videotape "had extreme dramatic effect," Melnick said.
The show was hardly about the ballpark crowd that night. It focused on David hiring a prostitute, not for sex but to be a passenger in his car so he could travel in the carpool lane and escape traffic on his way to the stadium.
In my hands ... :-)
Out of curiousity I went to ticketmaster for the general public on sale
and was able to get a single in the front row (Sec 102). Of course I decided to buy it.
I already had a single in Row H of Sec 102 and a single in Row A of 202
So I guess they reserved Row A and B for the general sale. Guess the Hip Club members aren't really the real fans. Very disappointing.

Also pulled a single in section 102 Row 5 for Darien Lake.
I saw a commercial for this festival on June 10, 11, and 12 in Toronto. Commerical said Gord Downie. Couldn't find any information on the actual website. Anybody know where GD will be? Hugh Dillon's doing the El Mocombo...

Here we go.........
Where do we want to meet up?
thehip.com used to be on the ball. up to date news and when concert dates were announced you heard it first either from the site or thru the news letters. who's dropping the ball over there?? new management??
or are people still shaking the rust off from the offseason?? :x
p.s. no hipclub perk for darien lake sucks!! :x
Okay, a friend of a friend (that works at Darien Lake) told me that she got tickets for The Hip's concert at Darien Lake already, apparently yesterday, because she has season passes for Darien...and people with passes get first dibs at concert tickets (a presale, to some effect).
Anyone else have season tickets that can confirm this????
Sitting here scratching my newly aquired blackfly bites, I have come to the realization that my day dreams during the cold bitter winter months of nice warm summer days has come true. Looking back I can't beleive how fast the time went. The birds are chirping, the dandelions are back to brighten up my pathetic excuse of a lawn, and yes the vampire like swarms of insects are back. Oh yeah I am thankful now for this wonderful short and sandals weather, but I can't help recall last August when I almost wished for the -35 arctic like cold. Am I crazy?? Am I doomed to live this unnatural existence between loving summer and hating summer in a matter of 2 months???? The only solace I collect for this August is the fact that I will be able to hopefully see my favourite band performing there new album in a outdoor setting. Am I the only one? Or am I just feverish from all the toxins injected into my skin from the mosquito's?
