Well, the resolution of the photos I take is a little big for the web - several MB each - so I have reduced them and in some cases, cropped them a little. I also tweaked the colours on some of them... cause that's what people like me do - I will be posting more photos shortly including some fairly large wallpaper sized images for your enjoyment.
Quote:I'd cut off my...well...to be in your shoes. Keep it coming, we've found a source of knowledge to keep us going between releases/appearances. What exactly do you do for the band? If I missed it, I apologize.
I ain't no tool police, don't worry - otherwise I'd say go to the top of this here post - if you had, you'd know that I've been brought on to help in the online department and to quote you - "help keep things happening between releases/appearences" - so hope aboard and come along for the ride. Summer is just getting underway!! More great things coming!!!

Damn Mav! You do more teasing than a drunk sorority girl! :lol: :thumb:
In my best Masshole... that's Wicked Awesome..
Take no offense to the Wholrella reference. It's a bit of an inside joke, she is a very strange recluse who lives on the top of a mt in a far away place. She often pulled things that seemd to good to be true. Your pics are most def authentic and again wicked awesome. mucho thanks...

I read your posts and I laugh. And then I look at your avatar and realize why "Look Who's Talking" "Look Who's Talking Too" and "Look Who's Talking Now" were successful; it's funny hearing a baby say adult things.

I'm practically speechless. Excellent pics MAv, and an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience for you. Great job relating the details; I think many of us felt, even for a brief moment, that we were there.
Rock on!

I've always had one question...
Where the hell can you get autographs from these guys? I mean, at shows they walk off the stage and into their limo or whatever.
I swear my life would be nearly complete if I watched all of them sign my Day for Night disk. It would seriously be the happiest day of my life as I frame that disk, and go out and buy a brand new one

Aside from seeing them at large arena's, if you hang around outside the venue after a show, they always take time to hang out and chat with fans, sign autographs, pose for pictures, etc.

It all depends on where you're seeing them. It's tougher to get autographs at the Canadian shows due to the fact that the gigs are pretty high profile and they usually play large arenas, so the chances of meeting the band are slim at best. But if you're seeing them at a club or small theatre in the States, it's actually very easy. Just wait outside their tour bus after the show. Sometimes you might have to wait a couple of hours. Sometimes only 30 minutes. But if you're patient, eventually all of the guys (or at least 3 or 4 of them) will come out and sign stuff and chat with the fans. These guys are very approachable, friendly, gracious, and down to earth. Total class acts, every single one of 'em. Robby and Gord S. are probably the most talkative of the guys. And Gord D. is hands down one of the coolest individuals you'll ever meet. I love the way he personalizes every autograph he signs. When I met him at the National Library in Ottawa he signed my program: "Gord Downie, in conversation with Casey". He's a great guy.
Yeah...our new MTS Centre here in Winnipeg...the buses don't even wait outside like they did in the old arena. This one's all fancy and stuff. Although I heard the next day that they went to a bar in the Osborne Village :|
Maybe I'll road trip it for a smaller show in the states...
Well, I have to post my glee at reading this amazing post!
How about a nice private little Hipbaser-only gig?
or backstage passes?

Hi, MAv. here, Chris, you probably know me from the HDRC site. . . well, I'm working with the HIP now too!
So are you the guy stuck answering bothersome questions sent to thehip.com?
