Yet another testimonial to the notion that the Hip are the greatest rock n roll band in the world...
Arrived in Portland around 5:30 after a few minor setbacks(car died on us for a while), just in time to get a prime spot in line. Had the pleasure of meeting biga and wife (sorry, didnt catch names :oops: ), Aaron(anesthesiologist) and Kat(sp?), and Tony(TLB). Awesome meeting you guys, t'was a real treat. Hope you had as good a time as I did. Lemme know how the recording turned out.
The Hip were their usual selves, Gord went ape shit as per usual. I believe Robby's sporting a new earing? Or is that old news...Highlights for me were Makeshift as the starter and Fire in the hole. The crowd was generally awesome, not without a few idiots, but ofcourse. And my friend managed to snag both the Sam Roberts and the Hips setlists.
The only bummer to the entire trip was a $244 speeding ticket on the way back
hock: hock: :x 
. The dude said he clocked me at 84mph....but $244!? That really stings, a tough one to swallow. Oh well, Im still on a high from the trip, they cant keep me down!
