| [+} User Info... | the posters at vic high all get ripped down after about a day.. but if you go and talk to the admin then your poster is likely to stay up. just a tip! - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 10:32am | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | Alright cool... we'll go back to Vic High on Monday and see what we can do. Thanx for the "tip". Ha! See you guys at the show!!! Whoooooo... xHITCHx - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 1:13pm | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | . good on hitch for putting up posters, looking forward to hear these guys. I like that kincaide song too, i listened to it, and they sound like a promising new band. Habitat are usually pretty good, didn't know that they had a new guitarist though. Pushing up Daisys where good at their debut show when i saw them. I've never heard smallhorse before, but one of my friends heard them and said they where alright. 200 posters? You guys should probably only print off what you can put up, not many people are going to want to do it for you. I would do it, but i go to mount doug, and either pushing up daisys or the habitat put them up already. going to be fun. . - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 3:31pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | hitch rules... - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 3:42pm | ||
| The Habitat User Info... | Yes, it is true...we were going to wait until the show to tell everyone that Graham Kilshaw is our new lead guitarist. Hailing from Oak Bay, Graham can rip out some pretty fucking amazing solos! Hope to see you there! - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 3:53pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | Habitat rules too..... - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 3:59pm | ||
| Your Pal Alky User Info... | Can't wait till the show and to check the new lead guitarist of The Habitat! - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 7:41pm | ||
| Colin Sick User Info... | well actually metopol is putting up 150 of them d-town all next week. also 100 posters to print costs $11 and 200 is $16 so its more cost effective. - Sat, 17 Jan 2004 7:44pm | ||
| Guitar Man User Info... | Habitat got a new guitarist? Crazy. This should be a sick show. Also, I swear i keep seeing two types of posters up downtown. There's tons of Shroom posters, which are pretty rad, and some other black ones with a cowboy. Are the doors at 6:00 or 6:30? - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 7:25am | ||
| The Habitat User Info... | The doors for this show are at 6:00pm on JAN 24th. Yea, we do have two posters going. Initially, I made the shrooms poster, and Hitch has done a kick ass job of postering it up. Then Smallhorse made that black cowboy poster, and i think there's a few of those up now to. Metropol's helping them out. - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 7:40am | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | So do we want to do doors at 6pm then??? That'll give us half hour for setup and sound, shit like that, before people start showing up... Ian, we should still meet sometime man. We went and played pool but you fuckerz didn't show up. Ha! Give me a call... peace, xHITCHx - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 9:59am | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | the shrooms ones are cool, but the cowboy one? what the fuck. Makes 'oakfest' sound like a barn party. haha. whatever, i'll go anyways. - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 11:25am | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | Ha Ha... Hoedown mother fuckerz! Bring your cowboy boots and your cowboy hat... Yee Haw!!! xHITCHx - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 12:21pm | ||
| Colin Sick User Info... | Thats a pic of elvis, the king of fucking rock and roll !!!!!!!!!! - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 12:31pm | ||
| Blackjack User Info... | Elvis WAS a cowboy, face the fact. The poster's sweet though, it promotes a fun show without drugs or liquor. So you know this show's gonna be "hip"...right? - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 12:42pm | ||
| Your Pal Alky User Info... | Did somebody say "hoedown"?! I'm there! - Sun, 18 Jan 2004 12:52pm | ||
| Hot Pants** User Info... | this show is goin to be so awsome awsome bands and great music hope for a big turn out props to my boys xHITCHx - Mon, 19 Jan 2004 4:18am | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | elvis. Haha. _________________ have fun trying to keep this one free of drugs and booze! That should be interesting. kind of funny how one of them promotes shrooms and the other one says right on it that theres gonna be none of that. Oh well. __________________ all ages shows are notorious for drug and alcohol use. Whatever man, just have fun, thats what counts. wether that be through the use of drugs, so be it. Fuck it, i'll probably be smashed during it, try and keep me out! _____________ P.S Elvis was a fuckin cowboy, nevertheless, the poster looks like HOEDOWN, getoverit. ________________ what does metropol charge? . - Mon, 19 Jan 2004 10:23am | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | Hey... Let's seriously try to keep the booze and drugs under control. I mean, we want to be able to put on more shows and if we get in shit for drugz and alcohol it's not going to be easy to rent that venue again. Nobody's going to care if you're on something but try to keep it to not smashing faces or shit at the Gary Oak Room. Save it for after. xHITCHx - Mon, 19 Jan 2004 10:47am | ||
| Dave User Info... | Hey, thanks to Colin and Scott for some awesome comments. Also, however much posters help let people know what going on, word of mouth helps a lot as well. Just a reminder to not let the posters do all the talking. I mean some people don't have computers...or even retinas for that matter. - Mon, 19 Jan 2004 12:12pm | ||
| Habitat Ian User Info... | Yea, let's actually try and keep the trashed folk to minimum. And if you're that wasted, we'll just charge you $35.00 for the ticket, and you'll fall into our trap. Muhahaha. Anyways, yea, it'll be a kickass show never the less. Everyone should go check out Kincaide's new song, fuckin amazing. Ian - Mon, 19 Jan 2004 3:01pm | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | yeah, kincaides song blew me away. one of the best local songs i've heard in a long while..... reminds me of undergo, but better. . - Mon, 19 Jan 2004 3:24pm | ||

| mcecill User Info... | easy now - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 4:24am | ||
| Guitar Man User Info... | This show's gonna rock my pants off. - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 9:14am | ||
| [+} User Info... | ...not if the bands don't promote it. - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 2:12pm | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | Are you kidding me... We've all been promoting the shit out of it... Look how many people have been signing this thread. Don't hate the game if you're riding the bench. Cheers bitch! Love, xHITCHx - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 2:20pm | ||
| -=PeNgUiN=- User Info... | Yea I actually gotta say the bands have been doing a wicked job of promoting the hell out of this show. Posters are everywhere. I found out from Habitat about this show, but I've also heard from many of my friends at school. News spreads fast when you put effort into it. Rock on boys. - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 2:26pm | ||
| Habitat Ian User Info... | Gotta agree with you penguin, i think promo's going pretty well. I'd have to say give Hitch some credit for the promo for this show. They've been doing a hell of a job making sure everything works out and shit. - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 2:30pm | ||
| Demen Ted User Info... | Hahha, I saw a bunch of posters walking home today (downtown, taking the bus down douglas.) I scribbled "danny boy was here" on a couple of them! I'll toss out a couple flyers at my school if you want me to, unfortunately I cant make the show... but, Ive got a good reason. Rock on! Dan Conner - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 3:31pm | ||
| Blackjack User Info... | Well it seems that the Armchair Cynics and The Habitat show on the 3rd of february is getting postered more than this show, so that doesn't help things really... - Wed, 21 Jan 2004 11:26am | ||
| [+} User Info... | i haven't seen one poster or handbill for this show.. other than the ones that i'm putting up from my bag. so cheers bitch! - Wed, 21 Jan 2004 2:09pm | ||
| ScottL User Info... | Regarding postering, i think it has gone well, just a bit late. Only tuesday did we get posters up at Mt. doug to stay, and the school is pretty well covered. The advanced tickets help to tie people in, and concidering what hitch and metropol have done for the d-town streets, and what we have done in all the stores, downtown is well plastered... Just a week or two too late! Keep an eye out aidan! Anyway, it shall be a good show, keep sellin dem tickets! - Wed, 21 Jan 2004 5:24pm | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | Alright... Thanx for putting posters up. xHITCHx - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 6:06am | ||
| colin sic User Info... | now everyone kiss and make up. Quit your bitching and come to our show. - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 8:29am | ||
| [+} User Info... | hitch totally held up their end of the promotion, i've got no problem with you guys. - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 12:17pm | ||
| Guitar Man User Info... | This show's gonna fucking rock! - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 2:30pm | ||
| Demen Ted User Info... | hey, I CAN come! I'll be pretty easy to pick out... mohawk, ramones "gabba gabba hey" shirt, talking loudly like an asshole... - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 2:56pm | ||
| -=PeNgUiN=- User Info... | This show should be pretty rad. I'll be there for sure. I'm most interested to see Habitat with their new guitarist and also Kincaide, cause they're a new band, and their song sounds pretty tight. Rock on. - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 4:25pm | ||
| Your Pal Alky User Info... | Honestly, I think some ppl on this message board who've been bitching that The Habitat haven't done any promotion for this show (and Smallhorse and Hitch have done most of it!) should STOP their complaining! If it weren't for The Habitat agreeing to play this show to help boost Hitch's fanbase, there'd be no show. Lets just all quit our bitchin' and enjoy the music! That's what it's for, children! - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 11:06am | ||
| The Habitat User Info... | Meh, i think every band has done a good job promoting this show, let's stop bitchin and start rockin. Everyone be there tomorrow... Cheers . - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 12:45pm | ||
| [+} User Info... | dear alky, there would still be a show. just one without the habitat. - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 1:41pm | ||
| Demen Ted User Info... | yay, everyone is happy except for emos. - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 1:50pm | ||
| Blackjack User Info... | Yah man, we're all gonna rock the place to shit. Let's enjoy it all and forget who said what. I mean we can all have opinions (go democracy!), but when it all comes down to it we're playing a show, and who cares if only 15 people turn up if we still get to play right? Or is that all just idealistic crap? You tell me. Cheers - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 2:58pm | ||
| hitchmusic User Info... | Word... I'm excited to have fun and rock out with my cock out!!! Whooooooo... Love, xHITCHx - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 3:30pm | ||
| Habitat Ian User Info... | Yea man, I'm stoked. - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 7:01pm | ||
