Has anyone ever emailed and gotten a response from <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tth@thehip.com">tth@thehip.com</a><!-- e -->?
VERY curious.
thanks.
AAHHH! I just noticed the new icons :jump 2 cool! :thumb:
Yeah, but for not much more than recording policy info, and even those responses are only a few words long.
yeah i emailed em maybe two years ago and said that they should come play a show in Brampton (my hometown) because there are many fans here.
they responded
"maybe next time"
oh well
I got a response from them when I asked if I could video tape some of the shows from the last tour. The response was very short, I think it was: we're fine with that.
das hip
or something to that effect.
i emailed them a picture of my hip tattoo
they responded by saying cool tattoo :thumb:
I inquired a few weeks ago about archive.org. Nothin' yet.
I once asked them if they knew the lineup from the SARS concert...since the lineup was not announced unitl late. They did respond guessing at the lineup with times as well!! i was quite surprised with the respnse!

I've emailed that address several times and have had good responses for the most part.
One time back in '99, in preparation for a Hip show in Boulder, CO, I emailed the band telling them that I would be bringing a friend who was new to the Hip and was particularly fond of Cordelia, El Dorado, and Yawning or Snarling. I asked them if they would be kind enough to play one of these songs in Boulder.
We went to the show, and sure enough, they played Cordelia. I was pretty floored by that. I told everyone around me that I emailed a request for that song and that they played it because I asked them to.
A few weeks after the show, I got a reply from <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tth@thehip.com">tth@thehip.com</a><!-- e -->. It said "Boy, are we lucky we played Cordelia." Come to find out, Cordelia was basically a coincidence - but they still took the time to go back and see if they played any of the songs I listed.
I've heard several times that Gord Sinclair is the band's email correspondent. I think when you get a response from that address, it's being written by Sinclair himself.
Wow is that ever cool! I kindof thought based on some of the short responses that it was probably a band member looking after the email. :thumb:
actually if I'm not mistaken it's not even a person from the band that responds but someone who works for the band.. I forget his name though.. I've talked to him before.
Hey Pete are you talkin maybe about Ross Walton? I'know he sometimes does alot of the correspondence for TTH :jump
I heard rumours that Jack Gold actually responed to some of the emails for the guys. Truth or fiction...who knows...
We should write and ask them. I wonder if they would answer?
cratch: :lol:
(write and ask who responds to the emails)
