A group of us based on facebook will be throwing Pre-Parties in every city this tour. I really wanted to make sure you guys are aware of it. We need you to come out.

Pearl Jam fans have been throwing these types of pre-show fan gatherings for a decade. I have been involved in those since the start.

The parties involve raffles. Fans bring donations of Hip related merch, or basically anything music related. (Vinyl Packages, Posters, Record Store Gift Certificates, etc.) Tickets are purchased for a chance at the items. There are Tragically Hip themed drinks and menus, music playing, possibly some videos depending on the PA system. It's a chance to share stories and hang out with like minded Hip fans. Sadly this may be the only chance we get to ever do this.

***ALL MONEY RAISED will BENEFIT the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research through the Sunnybrook Foundation***

I am throwing the Sunday Vancouver show, I have a venue confirmed. The ball is rolling.

Maybe we can get this tagged or sticky to the top or whatever. Hope to see you there.

There is an event on facebook created for every party so far, but it is still in the early stages.

This is the link to the closed group for organizers. Just ask to join. We need people on board and the Titanic Terrarium should be ground zero, as this is the place to find the people who really care.

GET INVOLVED, for the band and Gord.

Thanks

The above FB group will be moving to a closed organizer page shortly for the upcoming pre-party fundraisers for each city. Therefore, the city events themselves will soon be promoted on this page <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/theHip/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/theHip/</a><!-- m -->. Check back soon for details on the party fundraiser and city you're interested in attending.

Glad to see a lot of people have joined the groups through this post.

I'll see you there man. "The Pint" in Vancouver? I'll be there with my family visiting other family for 10 days - I basically have carte blanche to do whatever I please that day, and spending an afternoon and evening totally immersed in the greatest band of all time sounds just peachy. I'll bring the wife and her sister to keep the ratio good, if you knowwhatimsayin.

If anything is happening in Winnipeg I am there, and I'm sure I could round up a few pals that are going to the show as well.

Excellent. Let me know what's needed. I'm on holidays then and it's all Hip that weekend.

Why are all the pre-parties getting cancelled on FB?

I don't know but it's really fucking annoying.

i think they are just reorganizing them privately, and then we will share the event.

I'm in - you need my credit card to get in anyway, so may as well be there!

This is brilliant. I would really like to be in Kingston the night of the final show, even tho I got shut out. I just want to be there lol! If anyone could update this thread with any gatherings in Kingston, that would be great.

There's a fundraiser in the works, sort of (I'm a volunteer) but we're at a standstill until the city decides what they're doing. There's also a separate block party being planned. COME TO KINGSTON. It's gonna be something.

Love this idea! I am going to the Victoria and Vancouver #1 shows. I look forward to the meet ups!
