I am always amazed at how well The Hip’s back catalogue continues to sell. Fully Completely was certified Diamond earlier in 2007; I wonder how when Road Apples will pass that mark?

Do these numbers surprise you? Impress you? Concern you?

Fully Completely: 1,000,000

Sorry for the lack of updates lately – I got married on July 21 and the planning of the event occupied much of my time. (www.chrisandleah.com for anyone interested in more about our big day!)

I’m in the midst of editing three concert videos – Bala, Amsterdam, and Air Canada Centre – and should have the first of them completed and posted within a few weeks.

Thanks for sticking with us!
