So STOKED for this gig! Knew we had to go when we heard the news ... first time seeing The Hip in Ontario - should be fun! Out east we get smaller shows, which has been grest, but I'm looking forward to the energy and crowd at this larger celebration! It'll be the biggest Hip show I've seen ...

And as if catching the show weren't enough: Aug 18th is my birthday! Good way to celebrate my life with The Hip! :music :thumb:

And now, here we are, 1 week out.

Well, if we're doing requests, I'll take The Depression Suite.

I feel like it's going to be a "Sherpa" night.

Looks like it'll be about 5-6 songs per show, with 20 minute breaks to allow for the next group to be seated. I'm pretty excited: love small venue shows.

Hi all - we have a small crew heading up for the show. We are staying in Ottawa - looking for a good way to get to and from the show... Also, is there a place that Hip fans will be hanging out before the show?

Thanks,

The arena is out in the middle of nowhere because of 1990s thinking so there aren't really any places in walking distance. Just office buildings and car dealerships. If you are staying downtown (or really anywhere near transit), there are special buses that go right there. See http://www.octranspo.com/ottawa-destina ... ire_centre - probably crowded with drunks.

Otherwise, taxi or Uber.

Safe to expect a We Are the Same set...
