Anyone know approximately when the hip sound check? I'll be at the hogansburg show early and I thought I might try to catch it, or at least run into the guys.

Finally picked up a copy of YER FAVOURITES a couple of months ago, now the kiddos are total HIP fans. I'm talking about a 5 year old and three year old. Specifically, my daughter (5) loves 100th, ABAC, & Boots or Hearts, and my son is absolutely OBSESSED with Music@Work.

So I'm curious about the rest of you Basers w/kiddos...do they share your HIP fandom? Any tunes in particular?

You may or may not know that the NBA season starts tonight...

So lets make some NBA Championship predictions...

I wish I could say the Raptors...But realistically, I don't think their ready this year, but in a couple more years I definately think their name will be mentioned with the top teams...As for this season, i'm gonna have to go with my other favorite team, San Antonio, for a repeat.

Let's hear it...

Bono's Plans Cause A Rattle And Hum
By Tadhg Enright

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1290655,00.html">http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,, ... 55,00.html</a><!-- m -->


Plans by music giants U2 to stamp their mark on the skyline of their home city have hit a wrong note with conservationists.

They plan to build Ireland's tallest tower in Dublin and revamp their city centre hotel - to ensure their legacy lives on long after the music stops.

Bono and The Edge have unveiled plans to redevelop the Clarence Hotel on the city's historic quays, which they bought in 1992.

It has become one of the city's favourite celebrity haunts with a guest list that has included Kate Moss and Bill Clinton.

But with fewer than 50 bedrooms, its economic success has failed to match its star status.

The U2 frontmen believe their £100m plan will create one of the great hotels of the world that will be as synonymous with Dublin as Raffles is with Singapore.

"It's going to be a vision of expression of confidence for the city," said hotel manager Oliver Sevestre.

However, the design by London architect Lord Foster includes the demolition of several listed buildings.

The designers say the significant contribution the new hotel would make to the economic and social fabric of Dublin justifies the destruction of the protected buildings.

Michael Smith, of heritage organisation An Taisce, said he will take legal action if city planners give the go-ahead.

But U2 are no strangers to legal battles.

Five years ago they fought a compulsory purchase order on the band's recording studio in Dublin's docklands, which was to be demolished as part of a massive urban regeneration scheme in the area.

Legal representatives for the band arrived on the first day of public hearings into the development to argue that the studio's cultural significance warranted its conservation.

"That became a place of pilgrimage for U2 fans so obviously they've got a kind of stake in the area," said Irish Times environment editor Frank McDonald. "It is the new Dublin in a sense, and U2 want to be a part of that."

Within a matter of days, the band withdrew their objections after they struck a deal with the Dublin Docklands Development Authority to get involved with a project to build Ireland's tallest building on a nearby site, which would house a new recording studio.

Construction of the U2 Tower is expected to begin next year, but other builders who lost out in the competition to develop the tower claim they were unfairly treated and are considering legal action.

Planners have yet to decide on the plans to redevelop the Clarence Hotel and it has been reported that Bono and The Edge will sell the hotel if permission is not granted.

For the band's legacy in Dublin, it seems U2 may still have not found what they're looking for.

im headin down to the rochester show and was curious as to what time joel plasket is hittin the stage, what time the hip are on and what time the hip finish up... based on recent shows of course.

the girlfriend and i were thinking about hittin up the cheesecake factory afterwards... i heard its not far from the concert and they are open till 12 or 12:30 i think

whats with the recent setlists? geez, last few shows no cover (ok its a COVER i can understand), but the same old songs over and over again? i thought the boys had put this past them dont get me wrong its still great to see them but it looks like a greatist hits tour with 1 or 2 gems thrown in.

Hey all,

Been trying to find some news about this show. Does a recording exist? I saw some of the crew there (camcorders in hand) but was wondering if a copy of the audio exists anywhere. Even if it doesn't, please let me know and I'll shut up about it.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi all,

Heading to this show. Can't find much info regarding it online. Saw the hip at the Cameleon Club in Lancaster, PA and it was like having a show in one's living room.

This seems like one of those places. If anyone has some info feel free to share. Thx!!!
