If you are with a group, looking for a cheap hotel, stay at the Howard Johnson, and ask for one of the family rooms with 3 double beds. Super cheap, and when I last stayed there, we slept 10 people in the room, and the hotel staff didn't say a word.
How late will this party go? I'll be hitting Kingston 3:30 in the morningish... If the parties still rollin', I'll be there.

I don't know quite how I'm getting TO Kingston yet, but for a SAturday night party with Hipbasers, I'll definately find a way! Sounds like a great time! How many Hipbasers are planning to go to this show so far?

Well I was gonna skip this one but that just might be the thing that does it for me. Though I will be strapped for cash due to school. (Those first 3 hip shows took a lot out of my pocket :wink: ). Once the ticket price comes up I will try to make a decision. Life is tough!

I know your pain. I'm forgoing books for the first week to make sure I can hit this show.

I start grad school on September 9 (I think...seems like the kind of date I should know about). I was also supposed to be playing in my family's annual golf tournament on the 12th...but such are the sacrifices one must make when the Tragically Hip play Kingston.

Nah, at U of T unfortunately; in on the verge (heh) of taking a couple backwards steps in my personal evolution (from living alone to living with the 'rents, from Queen's to U of T...

)
Of course, I'll have been in Toronto less than two weeks before I'll be running back to K-town. Let the good times roll. :thumb:

I hear ya. I lived on my own for 4 years, but now I'm gonna try staying at home too... hopefully it'll help me chip into that debt a bit before I get out into the real world.

Doh!
I hear they have these neat things called calendars which you can use to help remember events, and what date they occur on. I am definitely going to have to get me one of them.

Wow... donated to Dean, and ended up with a scream!

I feel his pain.
But as for me, Bah... it's not that big a sacrifice, most of my books are history books, and it aint like stuff's gunna change! So it's HIP all the way, easy choice!
