Month: April 2004

All you’ve got to do is win…

Super-detective and BowieNet MB queen, Regina, posted about this on the MBs yesterday. But, before you get too excited, the rules state: “the contest is open to all Edmonton and area residents 18 years of age or older. Winners must pick up their prizes in person at the Edmonton Journal.”

So, if you still fit the bill, read the following blurb from the Edmonton Journal site:

Win a “Meet & Greet” with David Bowie

David Bowie hits the stage at Rexall Place on Friday, April 9th and the Edmonton Journal, not only wants to put at the concert, but also backstage for a “Meet & Greet” with the rock superstar.

Enter our contest and you could win the GRAND PRIZE: a meet & greet & photo with David Bowie, 2 tickets to the show and his latest cd “Reality”. There will also be a chance to win one of five SECONDARY prizes: 2 tickets and his latest cd “Reality”.

You can read the rest of the rules and enter the contest by clicking on the image above, but hurry, it ends on Monday.

Boy, I really get around…

Here’s a sneak preview of the latest item to hit the BowieNet Store. David has never made a secret of his love of the Zappy folding electric scooter, even claiming to travel around Manhattan on one when the mood takes him.

The Zappy company caught wind of this fact and approached David to make the limited edition Ziggy Zappy exclusively for the BowieNet Store.

At the moment the Ziggy Zappy is available as the regular Zappy or the Zappy Turbo. Both come in white with the Ziggy logo as above. The regular Ziggy Zappy will be selling for $599.99 and the Turbo Ziggy Zappy will cost $999.99.

Postage costs have yet to be finalised, but due to the weight of the Zappy it will be approximately $400 for countries outside of North America and Canada.

However, when the item goes live tomorrow, BowieNetters will qualify for a $3.99 discount when they supply their username and the special code: APOLLO RIF. Here’s some of the technical stuff:

The Ziggy Zappy is a compact electric scooter with awesome hill climbing ability and quick acceleration up to 46 mph. A large seat is included to transport you comfortably to your destination.

The Ziggy Zappy features variable twist throttle, rear drum brake, battery status indicators and two 12AH batteries for long operating distance. A standard battery charger is included.

The Ziggy Zappy quickly folds and will fit in a car trunk for easy transportation.

So there you have it kidz. Keep an eye on the BowieNet Store tomorrow and don’t forget that special discount code.
