A Tragically Hip Photography experience coming to fans this summer. MAv. - that's me - will, at select shows - escort a fan and their photography gear around for an exclusive Live Tragically Hip Photo Experience - so you can take concert photos like never before.
I'd like your input as to how to choose the person. A list of shows where this will happen is in the works and the person will need to have a ticket to the show already and be on our email list. I will arrange for their gear to clear security and escort them into the pit and around the venue for part of the show and then back to their seat. I'm thinking it will be about 4-6 songs.
We'll feature your best shots on the site and our social networks and ... this experience will come with a custom "Pigeon Camera" t-shirt too.
In other news, I'll be hosting - tweet-up's - throughout Europe before each show and am looking for locations nearby to gather.
MAv.

I hope these opportunities go to loyal longtime fans instead of bandwagoners. Especially those who have contributed to the hip community with audio, video and other selfless stuff through the years. Good luck to all hipbase photographers trying for a spot!

Great idea.
My girlfriend and I are HUGE Hip fans! We would be honoured to take pictures for such a fantastic event. Please keep us in mind Mav. If not we are not selected, here's hoping a true fan from HipBase.com is!
Best of luck to all!

And tonyd... You missed that tthip is not actually MAv. tthip copied the text of his post from a Tweet from MAv.
My first post in this thread was meant as a joke as I know that tthip and MAv are two different people.
Yeah, sorry guys. I am not always too smart.
