The Wasaga Beach show has the potential to be legendary. I spent my childhood summers there, and I just about lost it when I read the boys were finally putting on a festival gig there. (Okay, so I lost it when Casey and Finnegan would pop up. So what, I'm easily impressed... wanna fight about it?)
The Beach...
A Bonfire....
The Huron Sunset...
The Hip...
Let's get something organized. I can bring a blanket, some sunscreen, a couple of hats, maybe a beer or a Ginger Ale or two... but really, an all day gathering of Hip Heads is in order.
I say we meet at the arcade and then hit the bean bag slides before the show.
You bastards! I'd love to join the party, but unfortunately I'm stuck here in cowtown. Right now I'm crying in my beer because my Flames just lost game 6 in triple OT. What a heartbreaker! Ah well, at least we still game 7 on Monday. GO FLAMES GO!!!
Getting back to the topic at hand, I'm hoping the Hip do a west coast tour sometime in late July or early August. There's a good chance I'll be leaving the country this summer to go teach somewhere in Asia for a year or two, and I'd love to catch a Hip show before I leave. Somehow I don't think the Hip will be touring over there this year (or any year for that matter). Anyone from Calgary up for a road trip this summer??
