    Davey Boy 2.0 reacted to Esau. in In memory; Favourite Hip/Gord moments   
    Didn't realize it at the time it would be such a great memory, but seeing them on Canada day 89 in a park in London, ON. There was about 50 people hanging around, though the videos circulating appear to show even less. That was the first time I saw the Hip I believe.
    Another Roadside Atrraction Markham, 93. My girlfriend and I got mistaken for other people (I think it was her moreso than me) by someone on MIdnight OIls crew and were invited back stage, by the time it was realized we weren't the right folks, we were told, "well, your here now, enjoy the show" The Hip came on about 15 minutes or so later. Watched the entire show side stage, and Gord was in prime form that day.  Unfortunatley didn't get to meet anyone, from any band that played that day but still an awesome time.

    Seeing the hip at the horseshoe in last week of 1999 as a warm up gig for the acc show NYE. Then getting to go to NYE show later that week.
    Almost bumping into Gord on Broadview ave in Toronto as he was putting his kids in the car and he stared at a giant bandage I had on my nose from a hockey injury. I think he was startled by my appearance as I was by him being Gord Downie.
    I'm very sad to be in America right now as no one but my wife has any idea who Gord was and what has happened.
    Thank you Gord for the music. Rip.

    Bouche has a great story about getting into Hip shows in bars in Kingston- I think he would've been underage at the time ta boot.
    They played our highschool dances a few times, were more of a Doors/Who cover band at the time. I think every Kingstonian has one or at the most, two, degrees of separation from them.

    Just like ads, users will seek out ways of blocking the script. I know I'll be looking as it seems this practice is getting more and more popular, and by companies, that in my opinion shouldn't require it, nor be stressing users systems or bandwidth, like CBS. I get that site owners need ways to generate income to help cover costs since so many users block ads, but this method is more damaging (again, my opinion) then the risk of malicious scripts contained within ads - which for the most part isn't an epidemic by any means. I mean, how long before the folks who write the malicious scripts that get injected into ads simply inject them into mining scripts?  And how long before sites start figuring out how to inject mining scripts into downloads? Especially torrents, and on sites were share ratios are enforced, meaning users will either have to accept that their systems/utilities are being used or be kicked off a site for not maintaining an acceptable ratio. 
    utorrent was already caught installing (stealthy 3rd party like) mining scripts on user systems that updated their software, and it's likely mining scripts will eventually be hard written into software making it practically impossible to block or opt out, short of just not using it at all. Considering that a lot won't be transparent about it being there, users simply won't know. Given the rising value of nation-less digital currency like bitcoin, I suspect games will be the first software this stuff shows up in - its the best cover for it as systems will already being running at elevated levels making it less likely it will be detected by most users.

    Sounds awesome and brings back lots of memories. I loved Trinity as well.  The Shipping News was filmed there.  And good ole' Dildo Run just outside of Virgin Arm...never too mature for that one

    Sometimes when I'm high, I wonder if I like Terrapin Station more than I like Morning Dew.
    On one hand, Terrapin Station is an original and kicks ass, and on the other hand, it's Morning. Fucking. Dew.

    not sure I'd trust a "mobile ticket" though...maybe I'm paranoid.

    Just knowing that a band has named itself Twiddle is enough for me to not want to hear them.
