well heres the tale that has now come to be an april fools gag. I go to Mohawk College in Hamilton. Yesterday morning I arrive at school in the morning to see a huge banner on the outside of the school saying "The Hip this Wednesday in the Arnie (the campus bar) Doors at 8, ticket under 20 bucks, tickets at the door only". I almost didnt even pay attention to the banner right away thinking it was the Practically Hip. I walk into school to see a bunch of posters with this on it all over the school so I thought i'd better check into it, nothing on the hip site, nothing on hip base, we got in contact with the person who does the bookings for the school and he said yep its true "charity show as a warmup for their tour". So we all right away thought ok well tomorrow is April Fools but this sounds legit. Today, leary we kept hovering around the campus bar. Noon hour, we see techies putting up stage lights. Go back at 1 pm, stage setup going on, huge speaker stacks and audio equipment loading in. For shows there nothing ever generally starts happening until 5 or so. The speaker stacks were about five times the size of any other show that has ever been there so we all thought jeez this must be legit. Half hour later....new posters go up "april fools, the pratically hip tonight free at the arnie"
