Hello everyone!
I need to get this weight off my chest for all the
guilt I feel. I have misled all fellow Hip fans that
frequent these forums. This is Nick The Islander from
the MAW tour, but my real name is Tony. Everything I
ever posted during the MAW tour was the truth, except
for my name. I decided to use Nick because it was my
dad's name and I made up the last name. I was very
naive having never been part of any online comunity or
group. Everyone everywhere was exceptionally trusting
and patient with me and I apologize to everyone and
hope I can re-establish any trust I had with fellow
Hip fans.
I've had many things happen to me in the last 2 years,
a few of which were never for the better. I can not
even begin to count the number of times I have been
back and forth between BC and Alberta for many life
events, good and bad, catching bits and pieces of Hip
news here and there. My brother tried his best to
keep up with the Henhouse, new boots and other stuff,
but he's not a Hip fan, so it wasn't a big priority
for him. I was able to come back to Vancouver for a
couple weeks in February and saw the Olympics and the
Hip's performance, which I ripped on my bro's computer
for the Burning Church. Through many phone calls,
I've been able to live and breath Hip for the last 6
months vicariously through my brother.
When I got back to Vancouver for the final time last
month, it was the same week as the Western Theatre
tour tickets went on sale, which I promptly picked up.
The week before, my last weekend in Alberta, I was
able to catch The Hip in Camrose at Stage 13. Once I
picked up all the Theatre tickets, my brother gave me
an early present: 2 tickets to The Hip in Seattle,
this Saturday, August 24, which is MY BIRTHDAY!!!! I
could not believe he held out these tickets on me as
long as he did, but I'm glad he bought them. This
will be the best birthday I will ever have.
My bio
Age: 26 on Saturday
Reside: Vancouver BC, by way of Prince George, BC (I
am PG's biggest Hip fan hands down!)
Total Hip boots: approx 260
First song heard: unknowingly, Long Time Running was
my grad song in 1994 (i'm such a dummy!), but my buddy
introduced me to Nautical Disaster, Spring 95, which I
proceeded to continually play over and over
First concert: ARA July 1995 Vancouver, which my buddy
convinced me to go to because I loved Nautical.
Total concerts: 11 (not including Gord solo-Calgary):
ARA/LBU (2), PP (2), MAW (6), IVL (1)
Most recent concert: Camrose 7/14/02
Next concert: Seattle 8/24/02
Hip meetings: Met Gord in Calgary July 21 2001, he
signed my Leafs Barilko jersey "Tony, The Lost
Barilko, Stay Kool, G Downie", got a pic with him too
Upcoming tour: have tickets for 1 Victoria show, 2
Vancouver shows, and Vernon.
Best Hip concert moment: TIE: meeting Gord in
Calgary & being in the Work Zone with my 5 best
friends, 2 of which are big Hip fans, Prince George,
Nov 2000.
To the people I've met online:
Rory: nothing ever happened with those other shows,
I'm very sorry, I was lucky to get you what I did.
The masters are in PG stored away in a friend's U-Stor
and I haven't been back there since Xmas 2000.
Gina: email me please. i've lost your email address
and as mentioned above, I'm coming down on Saturday.
Dana Berent/Peter Padjen: thanks for trading with me
during my hiatus, which of course you didn't know
about
Anyone who I never completed trades with during the
MAW tour: I am truly sorry. Circumstances beyond my
control took me out of the game at times, and I wasn't
truthful about that with anyone at the time. Fun took
a back seat to life.
So now I'm posting as The Lost Barilko, which I feel
much better with. I've been on Lance's Hipbase for
few weeks, and I'll post this to the Henhouse and
AMTH.
I never meant to offend anyone and I'm sorry if some
are still offended.

Well before we enjoy the hip and then enjoy some cocktails with "strictly hip" we are going to have a parking lot tailgate party, I will be there with 7 friends and my van drinking beers eating a little food and listening to some hip boots, we are arriving in the lot around 3:30 if anyone wants to join us? See ya there
Hi all:
I don't know if anyone else has been having trouble logging onto the FTP sites, but I've had a bear of a time getting on. Over the last two weeks I have been only able to log on once (eag's ftp to download the 7/28/02 show...great recording b/t/w!!!).
Would anyone be willing to post a couple quality recordings of the 2002 shows on Furthur (or any other peer network)? I would think it would be a good way to get some of these shows circulated to the masses.
Thought I'd just throw that out there to the group.
take care,
scott
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO TRADE 1 TICKET FOR THE FRIDAY SHOW ( ROW 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT SEAT) FOR 1 TICKET FOR THE THURSDAY SHOW. LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE INTERESTED! LATER
Looking for a trader with the Bayfest show from this July. A SHN server would be better, but beggers cant.......anyway would really like to find this show. It was sweet.
Stay Hip

Are there any good websites for this band? The only thing I can find about them is on http://www.canoe.ca.
Just passing some info along...In this month's edition of Guitar One with Chris Jericho on the cover, there is a pretty good review of In Violet Light. A cool feature of this review is that it lists Paul and Robbie's equipment. I just thought I would pass it along since it's always good to see the boys in an American music mag.
Went to both shows in Hollywood. Each night was outstanding. Three Pistols was a very cool surprise on Thursday night. Gord had some great rants going.
Friday was even better (mainly because the crowd was REALLY into it). Had been a while since I heard FMC & Wheat Kings. Inevitability was also nice to hear. Once again, great rants from Gord.
If anyone has setlists from these shows, can you please post them? Need some help with the order of songs (a few too many Labatts, and nothing to write with).

I was at a local fireworks display for the end of a festival. For the finally of the fireworks display the play "Fireworks!"
Really cool, please dancing and singing. Found out a aunt of my fiance was a Hip fan
