I know its still early, but has anyone heard if our favourite band is going to be playing during the Games? I know there are nightly medal ceremonies which are supposed to be paired with some sort of concert.
Given Salt Lake, I figure they have to be in Vancouver.

On a slightly related note ... I happen to be on business in St John's this week and was in the know that the Olympic torch would be at Cape Spear this morning for the sunrise event. I've never been here so I thought it would be a good opp to witness this and also visit Signal Hill before heading back to Toronto. I have to say that it was an amazing experience; witnessed a stunning Atlantic sunrise, met a couple of Olympians, and put some context to beautiful Silver Jet. I know who Marconi is now! Awesome.
I also need to mention this a stunning part of the great white north!

I am attending the Olympics next month. Feb 16-25th. I got tickets to a few medal ceremonies that include concerts, Bare Naked Ladies, on Tuesday 17th and Sunday 22nd is Lover Boy :what . I did not choose the bands I chose the ceremonies to watch (Short-track Speed Skating etc.)Apolo Ohno baby!!!!
I am disappointed that upon review of the bands that The Hip is not included at all. :roll:
As a huge fan of the Hip I hoped that having the Olympics in Canada was a great event for them to be part of. :thumb:
I am gonna have a super awesome great time, but, seeing The Hip too would be like heaven..just sayin'
Anyone else gonna be there from the forum?

Didn't The Hip play a gig in Salt Lake City? A private one for the gold-medal winning female hockey team?

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they will play during the Olympics at some point.
Nothing announced but maybe Opening Ceremonies?

There are rumors floating around about something, somewhere, but I haven't seen anything reliable (people are chattering about it on facebook, for example). I hope if they do play, it's something I'll be able to get to.

Don't be getting me excited now...
I just happen to be in Vancouver for the first week of the Olympics and nothing would get me cheering for Canada more than an old fashioned winter Hip show.
I'm already pretty satisfied with the amount of FREE concerts being played around town so I won't be too disappointed when this doesn't happen.
