A few notes about last night's Bowie Special

I hope Chris Salt's Lego film goes online soon.

He's asked me to keep it off the 'tube for a few months so it can remain a bit of a surprise for any upcoming shows he thinks he can slot it into. It should be up before the end of the year, hopefully. Until then, the only way to see it is probably going to be the touring Best of BUGs.

Ah that's good news really. I'm happy to think he'll try to include it other shows. It's much better seeing it on a bigger screen. Are you able to get to one of his Northern shows, Chris?

I can no longer make the two BUG Manchester shows ('Best Of' and 'Radiohead') so I am having to sell my tickets.

I bought them through WeGotTickets - would anyone like to buy them (face value). They're not sold out but I can transfer them into your name on WeGotTickets. They were £17.60 each ticket (£16.00 + £1.60 b/fee), so I paid £35.20 in total. :/

Good grief, Hobbsy! That's a great shame. So sorry, mate.

[hobbsy]

yeah I know :/

I also can't now make The Postal Service gig in Manchester so I have my ticket going spare for that. In an effort to sell my BUG tickets I think I am going to try and sell all 3 together (face value). Postal Service tickets are massively sold out so that might help me.

John Thorp spoke to Adam on the phone for this interview in preparation for the Manchester gigs.

There have been one or two reports from the recent gigs online this week. I'll go back and find them.

In the meantime, this is at The Observer online.

Don't forget Hobbsy has a couple of tix for the Manchester shows that he'd love to sell on to someone. Make him an offer here or @Hobbsy.

Longtime Adam and Joe fan, Simon Button wrote about BUG on this blog.

This was an older piece from the Film4 Blog.

Yuppee have a piece about the Best Of tour.

This was in the Leeds List and Sean Murricane wrote quite a detailed piece about the Creative Networks talk.

I can't find any really specific reviews of the Manchester shows.....which was the reason I was looking around so that Hobbsy could catch up. That said, he's probably found some himself by now!

It's also worth noting here that Adam has put episodes 1 - 4 of the TV BUG on his YouTube channel. You can find them on the other thread.
