The Hip(1) is coming to town people and tickets go on sale this weekend. The show is scheduled for the 26th of February. Can’t wait.
Well congrats Calgarians on your Grey Cup victory yesterday, I was rooting for ya. Perfect day for it too compared to the last time the game was here(2).
Friday night I tied one on with George and Mike ending up at The Roxy and then Iceworks. For some reason I felt it was time to leave and walked about a 25 minute trail back to Mikes alone! Ironically shortly after George felt the same urge and he started back to Mikes over the new bridge where he was politely removed and reminded that the bridge wasn’t finished yet! I won’t even comment on how Mike got home or why we didn’t feel bad about leaving him(3)! Saturday played hockey and went to the movies.
Sunday was Grey Cup so we went over to JD’s to watch the game. Haven’t been there in awhile so it was great to see the coach. Thanks again for having us. A bunch of the guys watched from the HOT TUB(4) outside on the deck! Nice huh!
(1) – When the Hip was coming to town we were all on ticket watch and when they opened up we were working like bots to get at least 10! My old boss at the NWC would see the Hip were coming to town and automatically book me off the next day. Can’t tell you how many times I have seen them live with this group of guys!
(2) – 1991, 1998, 2006, and 2015 and now 2026 for Grey Cups in Winnipeg.
(3) – I think this was the night Mike literally bumped into Tara for the first time. I am pretty sure.
(4) – JD’s hot tub is about as famous as his breakfasts. As you can see from the previous posts, we had a lot of fun in that hot tub. Highlights for me are the time JD’s GF was serving us sandwiches out there and wiped out on the slippery deck. Steve Vernon asking her if she was OK while eating a sandwich off the deck. The time JD almost got in with us just as the doorbell rang!
