hey all,

<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehip.com">www.thehip.com</a><!-- w --> has been updated. It now has an autographed Rob Baker guitar up for charity auction, and it took down Johnny Fay's autographed drum kit. There! Everyone stop whining that the site is never updated......Ha ha. (Boy I hope the band doesn't read this)

man... i got ALL excited for a second there... didn't even read the post just went right to the page, and I was like what the hell? Where is the USEFUL info?

Aw nurts....here I was thinking we would have news about the new songs people have been speculating about. All those exclamation points didn't help. Not that I'm criticizing you...I wish the Hip would freakin give us info we actually want.

Good Eye, I would never have noticed that. I guess it is a possitive....?

Ahh Damn I was excited to. I thought maybe it would have been some "real" news. But again it was just about something they are trying to sell....Kind of. O well I guess we will get a real update when the time draws closer for us to buy the album. After all we are just consumers.

Wish I had the coin to spring for this "Hand-painted guitar by Rob Baker." ... Drool...

Dude...that picture is AWESOME. where'd you find it? Any how the hell do people keep managing to get icons larger than 70 pixels by 70 pixels?! Dyers that includes you!!!

Thanks Neil, it's actually a painting by Tom Thomson from 1916, I like his artwork and use it for alot of my avatars. Here's a link to more of his paintings. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cybermuse.gallery.ca/cybermuse/search/artist_work_e.jsp?iartistid=5427">http://cybermuse.gallery.ca/cybermuse/s ... istid=5427</a><!-- m -->

Thanx for that link :thumb: He really does have some AMAZING work! And a whole wack of it too!! thanx again

Hey no problem F.C.H. :thumb:

[grooveless touque]

Oh wow...he has some incredible works!! All this time I've been listening to Three Pistols and I never bothered to investigate the artistic merits of Thomson.

Your link didn't work for me...I went and googled him and found some other sites with his art on them. Ah, the things the Hip introduce us to! I have no idea why that link didn't work for me but it did work for FCH...

I still want to know how people get larger avatars. If I try to make one the same size as yours, Courage, it tells me I can't have one larger than 70x70 pixels. I have mentioned this before and nobody else seems to get this!!

Grooveless, I just checked the properties of your avatar and it says the measurements of your avatar are 80 x 75 and not 70 x 70. Mark's picture is only slightly wider at 80 x 80. Think it's an optical illusion more than anything else..

[CanuckCourage]

Very weird that link didn't work...It did yesterday , try this one <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tomthomson.org/thomson/collection.cfm">http://www.tomthomson.org/thomson/collection.cfm</a><!-- m --> .Yeah he was a great landscape painter... Yep like Kim said, my avatar is 80x80 which is what it says i'm allowed , try resizing yours maybe ...Beats me...
