Interesting article that appeared here in the Ottawa Sun this morning. Seems as though the little ones will have to find a new place to play.

I have been learning to play the guitar for about two years and find I still kind of suck. Most of the Hips music is hard for me to play. I thought I would start with their early stuff but find it complicated. How long had Bobby, Gord and Paul been playing guitar by the time they recorded the first album? :nooooo

Does anyone know what kind of bass Gord uses? I've tried to find pics that might show it, and he never stays still long enough for me to focus, even when I'm front row.

One more time. I focused on the newbies this year, with a few of us old dogs thrown in for good measure. Again, it's all in fun, so if you're name doesn't appear, it's not a slight, it's just simply due to the fact that I'm not around here as much as I'd like to be, and my memory is worse than that of the remaining members of The Grateful Dead. Hope everyone enjoys:


T’was the night before Christmas and all through Hipbase
The Hipheads were gathered for “The Amazing Race”
When NegPhil explained that he was so inspired
Sean Bonner agreed; all that travel had him wired

And so with a nod, Lance gave the okay
Princess booked the tickets for a group get-away
This year would be different; all had a role
This year the Hipbase was off to the North Pole

The regulars by name, you know them all well
They skipped and they jumped and their hearts they did swell
For into a giant balloon they all gathered
Prairieman and Zenith took care of boozing matters

Bundled up well and with Pigography at the wheel
They floated along until Crashman77 spotted a field
“The North Pole!” exclaimed Dr. J with a smile and a wink
The balloon then touched down near the lonely end of a rink

As the ‘base disembarked, JC Shades noticed something when;
Rushing down the ice came ten joyous men
It was Bobby and Gord and Johnny and Paul
Soon Sinclair appeared and there they were all

Through the icy fog tfoe squinted to see
The other five men were little indeed
Except for one forward who was big red and jolly
It was Santa and his elves vs. The Hip; what folly!

As the game progressed Angels Wings made it a party well hosted
While Bob the Critic made sure the chest nuts were roasted
The Hip were beaten when Santa scored a goal that was tragic
He touched his nose, looked up, and said, “that was pure magic.”

It was Elliot G who finally introduced the whole crew
Everyone greeted and asked the boys to play a few
Haplo was the first to request a big hit
A drunk Almost Hip yelled: “Pretend is the shit!”

And so they did play, on this wintery eve
MattyM and Zopust went and rolled up their sleeves
They went about building a nice snowy igloo
Of which Daryl24 promptly walked directly through

Rebuilt in a hurry, it was the perfect fit for the clan
Warm and cozy barrybre17 enjoyed watching the band
Smg333 sat right next to the jolly fat man
Santa screamed along with Gord and held Thompson Girl’s hand

As the beers kept on flowing, Santa’s “naughty list” was proclaimed
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Chris! Now, Jenna! Now, Corby and Direwolf74!
Hugh! Shannon! I thought I warned you people before!”

But the spirit of the season overcame the great Claus
He began distributing gifts to everyone just because
His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry
He handed Mav a brand new shiny blackberry!

From the stage Gord could see, his audience enthralled
But not with him, but rather that big red butterball!
With the stump of a butt he held tight in his teeth,
Paul told Gord to chill; “He’s no spotlight thief.”

Downie spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
He began to rant and then turned with a quick jerk
With a wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Gord put on a rock’n roll show that was nuclear fed

Soon Santa gave him a smile and began to bob his head
Gord knew right away he had nothing to dread
In fact, in the end he brought Sooguy and Santa on stage
They all finished the show with “On The Verge” in a rage

As the party wound down, invisibleairwaves passed out
Bosman reminded Santa of his duty with a shout
The old elf sprang up much faster than a shiver
He remembered indeed that he had gifts to deliver

The Hip were exhausted, another stellar show they had weathered
It was agreed that the band and the ‘basers would all leave together

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Gord launched the balloon and into the atmosphere they rose

Santa himself sprang to his sleigh and to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

As the balloon passed the sleigh in the still of the night
Sanata was heard to exclaim, ere he drove out of sight:

“A Hip-Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!”

Anyone seen this TV show (with Michael C. Hall of "Six Feet Under")? It's fantastic! It'll pull you in quick and then you can't wait to find out what happens in the next episode (though the "last time on 'Dexter'..." intros get a little tiring when watching a few episodes at a time).

I'm only at episode 6, but I sure hope Dexter doesn't jump a shark any time soon. He could dismember the shark though, and that would be good.

Apologies if I am causing peoples' hearts to race in anticipation, but I have not seen the new date in Indianapolis posted here before (3/06/07) so I'm wondering if I am just behind the times. I'm looking forward to this show coz I should be moved from Alaska by this time :jump :jump

Edit: I suppose I should have clicked on the link and seen it was another date with The Who.... :oops: :oops:
