I just can't stop looking at my pictures and I keep reading my review.

Yeah, I know...pathetic :lol:

Or did some of you do the same thing when you went to your first show?

[jen]

Oh trust me Wendy, I am still in the clouds from the Cleveland show and looking at my pics all of the time. (Although that wasn't my first show...just the first time meeting them)

Don't worry...I assure you that you are very normal :wink:

[LIVELOVEtheHIP]

That is so great!

I feel the same way, although I have seen them many times! I was just at the show in Rochester, and it is all I can think about! All I keep thinking about is just seeing all of their shows.... crazy and almost all-consuming really. They are just so incredible. I live in Canada and considered travelling to any of their last 4 gigs in the states since they are such fantastic, intimate venues. I wonder... are these appropriate thoughts for an almost 28 year old???!

Oh yeah!

You are lucky.... I was silly enough to forget my camera, but I did get the drumsticks (one of which I gave away... so silly!) So makes up for lack of eye candy.
Glad you loved it..... it's contagious!

[clearlyentranced]

I feel so empty for days after a Hip show..

[LIVELOVEtheHIP]

I Know..... I feel sad and kind of lost for some reason this week!
So glad to hear that I am not completely insane...!

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm 30 and one of the older people around here! :lol:

I'm obsessed with their music and of course Gord Downie. Now are THOSE appropriate thoughts for a almost 31 year old? :lol

I figure just as long as it doesn't interfere with your life, hey, why not.

[LIVELOVEtheHIP]

OUTSTANDING!!!

Just what I wanted to hear!

I have been a fan since... well, pretty much the beginning and just discovered this forum. For some reason, I instantly felt too old to be thinking these things...! Every time I see them live I am inspired all over again.

Crazy addiction.

Better to be crazy about something crazy than indifferent to everything sane. Or is that a tautology? :lol:

I'm 30 and one of the older people around here!

Wow, at 37 I must be..........older than dirt.

Then again, there's that damn armour in my belly.

Yep, you're one of the oldest around here! I know we've got at least a few around your age on here.

I know exactly what you mean Brazle, about feeling empty after a show. I feel like nothing is as fun or exciting as what i've just been through. It makes me crave the next one. Its an addiction and my friends tell me i need help. Good to hear i'm not the only one!! :wink:

I am STILL looking at my pics, I'm STILL on cloud nine, and BTW, I think it's funny I have the back of your head in my pics and WE DIDN'T EVEN MEET!! LOL!

Maybe this summer!

First, regarding the title of this thread, I'd like to say "What is the short answer, Alex!" :lol:

Now on to the point...

here's the ages of the people on the hipbase from an old thread

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forum.hipbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=2536&highlight=">http://forum.hipbase.com/viewtopic.php? ... highlight=</a><!-- m -->

Ya know...I coulda gone the rest of my life (what scant years I have left, in comparison) without reading that thread.

Although, since this is my one-hundredth post since I exited lurker-mode, it does seem appropos. I paused for reflection long enough to search through the myriad Hip-related files salvaged from the hard-drive of my long ago virally-stricken Win 98 PC to confirm my darkest fear: according to a 2000 survey, I was also the oldest member of the Henhouse.

Okay, so much for waxing nostalgic and wallowing in self-pity! :wink:

I'm actually quite impressed at the insight and observational skill represented here at the 'base by the newer generation of fans. Age is really a state of mind and I don't think about it too much (until some random thread rubs my face in it). While it gets harder year by year, I still have to do the math when I'm asked my age. When it comes to The Hip, I feel like a wide-eyed adolescent, filled with shock and awe at the awesome talent, power and wisdom that lives between us, falling in love all over again with each new album, tour, and tale of others' Hip experiences.

As Gord once said: "It's very pleasing and comforting to know that in affairs of the heart, we're all fifteen...forever."

Very well put. Age is a state of mind. So many people I have met are shocked when I tell them my age. I don't act my age! :lol:

I believe as long as you pay the bill and take care of your responsibilites you don't even have to grow up. I mean after all, my name IS Wendy and my last name was Darling at one time, just like the girl in Peter Pan.

I also amazed at the intelligence and maturity, most of the time, that the younger people, 20somethings and younger, here have. I know when I finally go to know Grooveless and finally found out his age I was shocked.

When it comes to the hip, I'm a teenager again. Thursday night it was like I was 15 all over again

Also, if I ever pick on somenone because of their age, it is always in jest. If I pick on someone, I like them. If I don't, either I'm not comfortable enough with them, I think they would get offended or I don't like them!
