BTW, plenty of non Hip fans go to Hip shows. They go because their friends wanted to go or they go just for something to do.

Ok, remember I am in the states. Aside from the show in Chicago on New Year's Eve, I have rarely encountered a non-hip fan at a show. I suppose that's just another difference between seeing the boys on their home turf and here.

Good point. I only have one real friend who loves the Hip like I do. My cousin and I went to see them in Halifax in December of 2000 and I loved it but he has mentioned that he was not impressed. He went just because he knew I loved them and he wanted something to do. Also, anytime I've had non-floor seats to a seated Hip show, hardly anyone stood up. In fact, most of the people around me seemed disinterested.

I have worn my IBE shirt to a Trews concert also and it caught the attention of the lead singer of The Novaks (I think his name is Mick)when they came out after the show. Some guy beside me was sporting a Zep shirt which also caugh his attention.

So, my Hip shirt wearing days are not exclusive to Hip concerts.
