Had a neat little "Hip" moment during a New Year's bash in Regina...given the smallish Regina presence on this board, and the size of the venue, I'm guessing no one else was there, but I just have to mention it...
The venue was The Drink (a newer bar that holds about 500), and the band was BILF (great party band, great musicians and the drummer used to live in my basement!)...anyways, just shortly after the 12:00 festivities, and with the dance floor still packed they kick into New Orleans is Sinking, and everyone is into it big time...as they finish up, an impromptu "Hip, Hip, Hip" chant starts...now I don't know if I started it, but I certainly joined in right away...probably 20 or 30 people chanting a good 15 or 20 "Hips"...and what do you know, the band looks at each other, chats a bit, and decides to make an adjustment in their play list...next riff, "Blow at High Dough"!!! And just as Bobby describes in the DVD, as the intro ends, and the big down beat kicks in, you can't help but jump around...pretty much the whole dance floor was pogoing...good times, a little hung over yesterday, but all in all a pretty good new year's considering the plans didn't really come together until the day before.
