Looks like Thursday will be Hip Show #32 (first was Jan 1. 2000 at the ACC)
Second most is likely Sam Roberts, which is at least 20.
Getting up there would be Elliott Brood, The Weakerthans, Sloan, Holy Fuck, Dave Matthews Band, Danny Michel, Kathleen Edwards, Blue Rodeo, Downie solo.
From late 2000 until around 2006 my friends and I had a contact at HOB. Meant little, except that most GA shows in Toronto with a guest list would have our names on it. Combine that with a couple of years of college music journalism, several trips to NXNE and CMW and I'm probably somewhere between 500-700 shows over the last 13 years. Quite frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way.
