I just found this website and it is great. I am wondering am I one of the only Hip fans in this town? I have the Hip albums in two of my favorite water holes and working on more. Steve's on Bluemound is going to get it, and For Pete's Sake has it too. SO I am trying to spread the word. It hasn't been easy as they haven't been here since '98!

This is worse than I thought, no one even wants to respond to my message. I am worried that I will have to travel for every hipshow from now on. Chicago sucks too, 1 dry show, 1 in trouble for left handed cigarettes, it is tough, they have to come back to the Brew City!

Hey Hipster,
There is at least one other Cheeseheaded, Brew-Crew lov'n Hip-Head around here... he'll probably be riding by relatively soon.
Welcome aboard.

Alright, I didn't mean any disrespect to the Hip fan base of Chi-town, as it is probably safe to say all Hipsters are pretty much the coolest bunch to enjoy a great show.
However in my defense of not liking venues in Chicago, UIC Pavalion-great show, but no alcohol, and when I was standing with my buddies I was yelled at to sit! I didn't like that much. At the taste well the cigarettes didn't smell like tabacco and was told I wasn't welcome, I guess my fault, but isn't a hip concert safe land?
I hear Kelly's Bleachers has a hip song on the Juke. Dino's in Riverwest, my buddy's place, will have a disk soon!
Thanks for the replies!
I will have to say the Modjeska in '98 in Milwaukee was better than the Chicago shows. I guess I am a little biased, but what the hell. We have the Calder Cup as well!
I wish they would come back to Summerfest, always great!

Yup, The Hip tour in 02 had five sold out shows at the HOB in Chicago. I went to all of them, and they all rocked! I was dissapointed that the band was only here for one show in Oct., but it was also very good. Do you think Das boys will hit the road again for the summer?
Also, if ever in Chicago go to Yackzies on Diversay Parkway/Pine Grove in Lincoln Park. They have a juckbox full of every Hip CD.

I just looked that show up on the setlist archive and wow! Thats one hell of a setlist, someone should throw it up on the tracker.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
