Kip Lucas

Kip started writing for AjiSignal on 11/8/07 at 12AM PST. He'll be reporting from Boston and the surrounding area. We dig him-hope you do too:)

It took a weekend in Atlantic City with his old high school friends at a Huey Lewis and The News concert and a night at the Boston Opera House to see Sigur Ros to bring Hip2BeSquare.net to life.

Three years and about ten templates later, Hip2BeSquare.net is still kicking and now includes contributions from two New York city dwellers and on occasion a San Franciscoian named Tweez.
