  BOOTLEGS, VIDEOS AND PICS....OH MY!!

Hey folks, it's been along time since I posted anything here because A) I work to much and B) I don't have the internet at home anymore. But I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying Gords new Solo album.

Over the years I've hosted many Hip FTP and Web sites allowing people to download pretty much whatever they wanted. However since the induction of bandwidth monitoring and limiting with many ISP's, the transfer of large files over the internet became a very costly adventure, which eventually shut down my sites due to the ever increasing bandwidth costs.

I still feel that the bootlegs and videos I have are still worth sharing and I'd like to extend to everyone in the South Central Ontario (ie. GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener..blah blah) area this offer....

...I am willing to do a Hard Drive to Hard Drive copy of every Bootleg, Video and Pic I own. To do this you will require approx. 50GB's of free space and a few minutes of spare time. Anyone who is interested in this, can contact me via email and we can work out the details. I will be posting my bootleg list in this forum very shortly, so you can see what you'll be getting. But if you require a rough list ASAP, look on ftp.tragicallyhip.org I believe I uploaded a list there sometime ago. It will be labeled thehip.myip.org...or something like that.

Cheers!

  Detroit Show Review

This is my first post to hipbase.com. Bare with me because I can't wipe the shit-eatting grin off my face. My cousin Sean, Suzie and my wife Carolyn couldn't wait for Gord Downie & TCOM to come to our hometown of Detroit, Michigan.

Carolyn took me to Gord's show as a present for my 41st birthday. I had to work my 24 hour shift on my actual birthday, July 10. (Sorry for the white lie to all the people around me who made it a birthday never to forget). I wouldn't let myself celebrate until I saw the show.

St. Andrew's Hall is very small and was built by Scottish immigrants in the 1920's. Both of my dad's parents emigrated to Detroit from Uddington, Scotland not knowing each other. They met and married here establishing my family's roots. My Grandmother told me she used to attend social events at this same place. How ironic I was here to rock out with G. D.

I wanted to be in the first row. We arrived early just as the band was doing their sound check inside. The tour bus was parked about 300 ft. down from the front entrance. The die hard few who were there early saw Gord walk in and out of the venue. He chatted with everyone as he passed by.

Again, St. Andrew's is very small. It has an elevated stage in front of a hardwood dance floor which holds 850 people. I expected a sold out show and felt disappointed only about 250 people came. But what an intense group. We were front row center, right in front of Gord. I felt like I was at a private concert. Gord & TCOM played fantastically.

During the first three songs my friends kept yelling 'Happy Birthday' to me over the music. Gord heard this. To introduce the next song he said, "Happy Bithday Hugh"! He also saw my beautiful wife Carolyn next to me and jokingly said, (I'm paraphrasing as Gord does), " If we were in Vancouver she would not be yours anymore". Everyone laughed and the band kicked into Vancouver Divorce.

A great highlight of the show was Roll Another Number during the first encore. Dale Morningstar sang an extra verse he made up about the Detroit Red Wings personnel dilemma. He mentioned the names of CuJo, the Dominator, and Sergie Federov in a hilarious rhyming verse. Did I mention Dale was wearing a cool t-shirt with Gordie Howe on it. To end the song Gord put his guitar pick in his mouth pretending to smoke it.

The final encore consisted of Insomniacs of the World, Goodnight. Dale played this tiny organ whick fit on his lap while the band played. Of course, this is mostly spoken word and Gord put a lot of emotion into it, pretending to fall asleep as he said the last line. The lights went out and the show was over. Julie, Josh, Dale, Dave and Dr. P. played great behind Gord.

Anthony from Port Huron, Michigan who was next to me scored a set list. He showed it to me and I thought he was very lucky. At this point the band members were breaking down there own instruments. Someone called my name from the stage. Dr. P. came over, wished me a happy birthday and gave me his set list. I couldn't believe it!

We went outside to stand by the tour bus and hopefully get Gord's autograph. Close to 75 other people had the same idea. The band came out without Gord and we all enjoyed talking to them.

With so many people waiting to speak with Gord, I thought he would sign a few and leave quickly. I was amazed! Gord spent close to an hour with his fans. I am not kidding when I say he personally spoke to everyone, signing autographs and taking pictures. At times he looked tired and overwhelmed, but he was very gracious. We spoke with Gord, then left for a bar around the corner.

Fifteen minutes later, I decided to go back and see if Gord had left. The crowd of 75 had dwindled to 5 people huddled around him. I started talking Red Wing hockey with Gord. The other fans told Gord how funny Dale's Red Wing verse was. One guy remembered it and started to sing it. Gord joined in and we all had a great laugh.

Thank you to all the people standing by me who cheered for my birthday during the show. It was very memorable! Gord, I'll remember what you said about partying and family life.

Best Wishes

The leafs finally got Marchment and at 2million a year which when u figure that Tie Domi at best a 4th line winger makes 1.9 millions its a great deal ... But they need so many more players to be a top team this upcoming year - If they didnt run it so much like a bussiness they would go get Federov

  Batman? Have you seen my phone?

TORONTO -- Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez played the role of Good Samaritan by returning Batman's cell phone.


Martinez, in Toronto to play the Blue Jays, found a National Post employee's cell phone in a taxi on Thursday and dialed the paper's news desk. That phone number -- dubbed the Batphone in the newsroom -- was stored in the telephone's directory under Batman.


"Is there somebody there called Batman who has lost his phone?'' Martinez asked.


The phone belongs to employee Kelly Nestruck, who called Martinez back to make arrangements for picking it up.


Martinez, a three-time Cy Young award winner, told her where she could find it: "I'm at the SkyDome. I'm a baseball player.''

Yahoooo!!

Put on your shit kickers cause it's time to hit the Stampede. Sam Roberts plays tonight at the Stampede on the Coca Cola Stage at 8:30. Free with addmission to the park, so not really free but more like $11. Still not all that bad for a show.

I wasn't planning on heading down to the Stampede this year but it seems I say that every year and always end up going. I'll just have to try harder to keep that wallet closed this year. It never fails that I end up spending too much and wake up the next day with a headache. I'll never learn.

See y'all there.

" A woman set her Madrid home on fire Wednesday as she cooked up a potion in an attempt to imitate the fictional wizard Harry Potter, emergency services said.

The 21-year-old was rescued by firemen and treated for minor injuries, but half her home was destroyed.

The ambulance service said she had told them she was trying to emulate the boy magician, hero of the books by J.K. Rowling that have been a sensation among adults and children alike.

For want of more magical ingredients, the woman cooked up a potion of water, oil, alcohol and toothpaste, local media reported. It was unclear what spell she was trying to weave "

Any of guys been reading the books/ watching the movies?

I was wondering if anyone knows where i can find the logo the Hip have that has TTH instead of the NHL lettering in the Shield. I saw it a long time ago when the Hip had the digital gallery where you could design your own posters and shirts, but haven't seen it since. Anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks
