Everyone's been asking about the infamous Live and Well.com CD, and with good reason. There's good news and bad news we have to relay (actually, it's more like a confession than real bad news). Knowing that everyone has their own preference as to which they like to get first, we're giving you the option:
Free Kina Gig In Nyc
For all you New York Bowienet members interested in finding out just how good Kina is for themselves (as if Bowie's endorsement isn't enough!), she will be performing in NYC next week. The details are as follows:
Kina @ South Street Seaport
Date: Thurs. July 20, 2000
Adm: Free
This show is part of the Home B4 Dark series Time not posted yet, but you can check next week for specific set time on the tour calendar at www.4kina.com
Kina's cd will be released on Tuesday July 18th, and is available for pre-order on Kina's website (url above). Her band is great, and she's a fabulous live performer. It is highly recommended that you try and catch her show, if you are able to. :-)

Beatnik @ Roseland
This snippet was taken from a review of David's BowieNet Members Roseland show!
DAVID BOWIE brought his virtual world home to reality in New York City, June 19, as he performed for nearly 4,000 fans, press and members of Bowienet, his online community residing at http://www.davidbowie.com. The event, held at the Roseland Ballroom, was in preparation for Bowie's appearance at the 30th annual Glastonbury Festival in the U.K.; Bowie performed at the first festival in 1970.
As a partner in the collaborative work, Beatnik provided an eMix for Bowie's "The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell," weeks before the event. After judging rounds, one fan's remix emerged as a winner. Fernando Dos Santos claimed the grand prize for his "Jersey Sensibility Mix" of Bowie's song, attended the concert and had a chance to meet with the artist after the show.

Rolling Stone Review
Here is another brilliant review from RollingStone.com concerning the BowieNet show.
Here is a bit from the review:
The rock star, high-tech pioneer, bank magnate and virtual community patriarch (not to mention actor and painter) played the role of host at New York's Roseland Ballroom on Monday night at a private show. Among the attendees were BowieNet subscribers, friends (including his wife/model Iman, his The Hunger co-star Susan Sarandon, fashion designer Todd Oldham and members of the Cure) and the press.

We know what you're thinking - when can we see the viddy?!?@#?
