It's pretty simple really. If you have a hip related story you would like to share, deposit it in the archive. Tag the story with information and then it can be related to songs, albums, venues, concerts, dates, keywords and even lyrics.
The Hip Story Project is a work in progress and is undergoing a renovation. Look for more features in the future! In the meantime, continue to archive and read your experiences. |
Here are some of the latest stories to be entered.
