In 1990, just before they got massive, The Tragically Hip played a small club in Regina called “The Venue”.

Usually for Throwback Thursday, I find a photo from sometime between 2006 (when I got my first digital camera) and now. But just like last week when I found a pic of Shea and her mom when Shea was quite young, I stumbled upon another older photo in my archives – my dad with what […]
