hipfans.com - rivsy - 06-08-2006

pardon my ignorance...but what is hipfans.com ? Is it a similar type forum to this one ? are many people here also regular visitors to this space ? are you warring factions ?

- chris - 06-08-2006

Not warring factions in any way, shape or form. I'd say partners at work sharing the music of The Hip.

Man Sized Eldorado (aka Trevor) run a series of sites based on the domain hipfans.com:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hipfans.com">http://www.hipfans.com</a><!-- m -->: blog
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bt.hipfans.com">http://bt.hipfans.com</a><!-- m -->: Bit Torrent tracker

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://memorabilia.hipfans.com">http://memorabilia.hipfans.com</a><!-- m -->: a showroom for all your Hip memorabilia

And just this week I took over <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehundredthmeridian.com">www.thehundredthmeridian.com</a><!-- w --> and its FTP server.

No forum, except a small one on the tracker used to discuss torrent and torrent site issues.

We also host a couple of fan sites:

I almost forget; I started a mailing/discussion list for fans heading to Europe to see The Hip this summer: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hipfans.com/europe">http://hipfans.com/europe</a><!-- m -->

Holy crap C,C.
That is one amazing list - I knew it was great, but to see it all in one area blows my mind.
Umm, what is left - talk to MAv and Lance and see if they are getting tired of their jobs?

- chris - 06-09-2006

Thanks Dana!

MAv and Lance do a great job doing what they do and I have no interest in taking on any more...

For those who can't read tab as well as others is there a site where you can see the pictures of what cords the Hip song uses? I'm pretty new to guitar, Are both methods of reading/learning music for guitar equal? and do they achieve the same result? and ya,that is some list :thumb:

If I had MAv's skill set... sure I'd love his job. Even without his skills I'd enjoy the job, but I doubt that I'd last.
