Barrie show postscript
Attended both Barrie shows to get our 2007 Hip fix, and was impressed, personally thought that 2nd show had the edge since Nautical Disaster and Pigeon Camera are probably my favorite Hip songs. Can't validate the following but it came from close friends of ours so we think its reliable. Following the second show, we went home but received a text message from friends who had been out at dinner and decided to stop into a club afterwards. They were a little surprised to have Gord downie walk by them and hop up on stage. We are still trying to get all the details but Gord apparently struck up an impromptu version of New Orleans Is Sinking - Killer Whale Tank version and at least one other song. Too cool.

Thanks Eric!emperor penguin wrote:Those pictures are amazing Trevor, when are you quitting your job to become a professional photographer?
Would love to do it - just trying to find someone to pay me!
I had every intention of putting more up tonight but I got a pretty kick bum birthday present in an Xbox 360 today and so I think that will take priority...at least for now.
Thanks again for the compliments. It means a lot!

I think his lense was more like 2000mm
I used my Nikon D50 last night in Sudbury with my 55-200mm lense. I was in the 2nd row, if you look through the Sudbury thread you'll see a few I pix I took

I shoot Canon so I can't comment on the quality of Steve's lens (although his pics look just fantastic!). The lens that I used was a 70-200 F2.8L pro-series lens. I didn't hide anything, I just opened my camera bag when they asked me at the door and then they took a quick glance and said "thank you." I was shocked!!! So, being in the 11th row, it was very much needed.crazykid wrote:Trevor - great pics. What lens did you use for though?
I notice 200mm and f2.8. You were able to get a lens of that size in, aswell as your dSLR. I think I should try for London. But just dont wanna have to leave my camera gear at the door. I have row 5 there.
Now I doubt I will ever get that lucky again with security and I was completely surprised that they were that laxed in Barrie but I can't complain.
I suggest if you are not driving and you don't have a car to put your gear in if (and when) security turns you down at the door, then don't bring it. I would never want to leave my stuff at a security desk for the night either.
So, on to other things. I know I said that I wouldn't be uploading a set or anything tonight but I really couldn't resist.
Here are a couple of my favs:
...and of course, our very our MAv capturing Robbie on video
The rest can be found in my Flickr gallery: http://flickr.com/photos/trevorconnell/ ... 503180557/
Whew! That was fun!
Maybe I'll be able to share more after the Oshawa show?
Cheers!

My 2 cents (USD)
songs "worth hearing" & worth hearing live:
Trouble@
ABAC (Iwill NEVER gettired of hearing it live - with or without Cookie Fac.!)
Giftshop
Sherpa
Apt. Song
PP
Poets (c'mon the Poets/Details/SHDB recording is amazing!)
Bob C (live and acoustic!)
T. Girl
Membership
M@
Lake Fever (Gord can keep telling us that story over and over)
TO4
Music @ (Gord hams it up so well for this one!)
and the so-called red-headed step children of the bunch...
IVL
Good Life
ATU
IBE
Summer
ICBNEN
Family?
Goodnight
Of course, I'm just a yank, and have only been to 3 shows (with 3 more coming next week!!!), and have only been a fan since 1998 (thank you WDST for enlightening an American!) so what do I know?
"Not worth hearing.."
Seems like a harsh comment for a fan site though...
