i had a thought for this site and i thought i would share it.

we have the following sites: hipbase.com , hipfans.com , hipcovers.com , the lyrics site, and my Bootleg Database.

why not integrate all of the together?

i picture it like this. you wuold go to the setlist archive and pick a show. while looking at the setlist, you would also have the following options:

1. you could see which Hipbase members were at the show (lance just created this page for us.
2. you could get the lyrics to the songs (by clicking on the song name)
3. you could see if the show was taped (my site)
4. you could see if it was being torrented at hipfans.com (chris' site)
5. and you could download a cover that was created for that show

i know that the creators of each of those sites would obvisously like to have complete control over the content.... but this would make hipbase.com your one stop shop for all your Hip needs.

Makes a TON-OF-SENSE....

but... HUGE JOB.... and tough for each individual to stay involved... and "own" their content... etc...

I just had another idea for a great site.

What if we had a site dedicated to hip memorabila??

We could have digital images of things hip related and categorize them. Some categories would include:

Posters
Vinyl Records
Singles
T-Shirts & Hats
Pins/Tab Books/Mouse Pads/Wrist Bands/Fanny Packs/stickers

I have a whole whack of this stuff and was thinking of taking photos of it and making a site on my collection when I thought, why don't we complie a master site of hip things acquired at hip shows, ebay, record stores or wherever.

Ideas...

I think that it is a great idea, and one that perhaps will require a new main site that basically links to all of the others. I'll suggest that the main page at hipfans.com could be used as we haven't developed any real content, nor do we have any great technical prowess; but we do have the domain and the space/bandwidth.

As well, we are working on lists.hipfans.com which could house the bootleg lists of all hipfans ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://lists.hipfans.com/chris">http://lists.hipfans.com/chris</a><!-- m --> for example) example). Another site is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://links.hipfans.com">http://links.hipfans.com</a><!-- m --> which is a link site for all things Hip.

I sent that exact same idea to Chris at Hipfans.com saying the same things.... my collection is a good size too... so between us we should chat and take pics and provide descriptions for a Master Hip Memorabilia....

And I knew I was forgetting something else... memorabilia!

Jeffro & I have chatteed briefly about this, and I've got something in the works that I'll try to post this evening.

I think it's an awesome idea... hock:

You guys were talking about my lyrics site when you referred to "the lyrics" right? :wink:

I think it'd be better if we left Hipbase at the center of everything, that is if Lance wouldn't mind, lol... what I mean is everyone comes here anyway for information and to chat about this or that... so it would only make sense, as this place being our main house of communication.

But then from here branch-out, you know? I'm not sure how to do that though, maybe Lance (if he agrees, of course) puts a bar of some sort across the top only like a half inch wide with all the essential sites or something? Or tweaks his main page? I don't know...

I just consider the Hipbase to already be at the center of everything...

I plan to do 1. and I could add 4. Shouldn't be hard.

Speaking of memoribilia... (great idea btw...)

Does anyone know where I can get a TTH hockey jersey? I know that they sell the IBE jerseys, but I was looking for something that at least resembles a Canadian jersey.

I have seen people wearing several very cool ones, but have never been able to find any.

Has anyone seen any for sale anywhere? It would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

[Jenna_Bird]

Your best bet, at this point, would be ebay. MapleMusic no longer carries the maple leafesque variety.

Thanks!

I have tried ebay actually, but nothing so far. I'll keep at it and come across one someday... or maybe start making my own???!

Just kidding.

Cheers!

that would be a great start. #3 wouldn't be very hard either. i have a list of most of the known tapes up to about 1999 or 2000. you are more than welcome to use that list as a reference.

i understand that this is a lot of work and a lot of coding. but i think that if it was done, this place would be even better than it already is

[beanmedic]

sounds like everyone has some killer ideas

Here's what Jeffro and I discussed regarding Hip Memorabilia.
