Bears In The City

The BitC update – a message from Seumas.

seumas — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:40:40 +0000

Hey everyone – Seumas here, with an update on how things are going on – we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs in the last month and it’s been challenging to get together to do a podcast. My back has been injured at work and is needing time to recuperate, and others are having other health issues. I also have my specialist exams as well very shortly, and since I’m the main organiser for the group, I haven’t been able to focus on getting us all together like I usually can.

We’ve just had Mardi Gras in Sydney (I know Clinton had a blast there!), so that’s added to the time pressures.

We’re not gone, and we’re talking about the next podcast. Podcast #69 is still going ahead, but we have a few things in our lives to deal with until we can get to it. We really do thank you for your support, and we will be back, though, never fear!

In the meantime, don’t forget to friend us on Facebook, and we have a Twitter account coming soon – more details to come!

And thanks to Jason from Friday Night Furlosophy for the shoutout and wishes with regard my back.

Thanks to everyone for your support – you don’t know how much it means to us. We really do appreciate that you miss us, and we’re looking forward to being back on board.

*HUGS*
Seumas.

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while since our last podcast, and unfortunately it will likely be another two weeks before we can get together and record another one, as many of us have urgent things we need to attend to.

We will be back very soon. We can’t thank you enough for listening!

Thank you bTalk!

seumas — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:29:10 +0000

With bTalk ending after 4 years and 200 episodes, bTalk is calling it a day. You really should check out their final episode.

We got together after the last podcast and recorded these “thank you” videos (which Dominic edited) – enjoy them or be nasty – do your best or worst – but make sure you comment either here or on Youtube!

The version with John and Dom starring, and Seumas looks wooden! Clinton, however, is fantastic.

John and Craige starring, and Seumas looking even more wooden!

Go and listen to their final episode (and all their past episodes) at http://www.btalkworld.com.

To Shannon, Kurt, Jason and Joel (and to Jeff), and all the past guests on bTalk – thank you so much guys. We really do love what you’ve done!

–Seumas.

Dear loyal listeners of Bears in the City:

Unfortunately we made an upgrade of this site which has rendered our podcasting software unable to upload new posts for the moment. We have podcast #37 ready to send out to you, but unfortunately the technical issues prevent it from being released. The technical issues should be resolved by early next week.

We really do apologise for this, and hope that you will understand. We’ll be back and strong as ever as soon as we can!

(For those that want to know, Seumas upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 not realising that WP 2.6 was incompatible with Podpress 8.8. Attempts to rollback to 2.5 failed as the databases are upgraded in the move to 2.6, so it has to stay in 2.6. A fix (Podpress 8.9) will be out over the weekend – when it is out, we’ll get it upgraded and get the RSS feed up to date, and get you enjoying the podcasts all over again)

Bears in the City – The Movie!

Dominic — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:48:26 +0000

Whilst recording one of our last episodes of our Bears in the City Podcast, we decided to muck around, and do a video ‘introduction’ of each of us… And this is how it turned out!

So, who do YOU think would play us in the Bears in the City movie?

seumas — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:16:07 +0000

We were discussing this on podcast #36, and we wondered, if there was a “Bears in the City” movie, who would be playing each of us? We came up with:

Clinton: Nathan Lane
John: Antonio Banderas (or Jason Alexander!)
Craige: Jack Black
Dominic: Philip Seymour Hoffman
Seumas: Seth Rogan

But who do YOU think should be playing each of us? This your chance to be humorous, nasty, complimentary or serious – whatever you like!

Go to it, guys!

Dominic — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:32:16 +0000

OK,

So this is a sticker in the vestibule area of some of the older trains I work on. I DO know what it actually means, but perhaps some of you could suggest some alternatives?

I’ve suggested:

“Please do not bring headless children on board this train”

My other favourites have been:

“Don’t pet the stylised goose”

“No naked raving in the guards compartment” (I think that’s a reference to the recent events on the London Underground!)

Anyone else have any suggestions?

– Dominic

See you at Southern Hibearnation!

HOSTS: Craige, Seumas, John and Clinton

Thank you!

seumas — Sat, 31 May 2008 00:59:50 +0000

To everyone that came to Manacle last night for their opening night, I want to thank you. I arrived around 9:30pm and the place was already packed. Interestingly, people continued to stream in even after about midnight.

To the BitC team and friends:John R., John C., Craige, Seumas, Richard, Adam, Stello, Clinton, Garth and Alan, thanks for making it a great night. And for those of you that came up to us and chatted to us, we loved it. Special thank you to Adam who grabbed us at the end of the night just before I left, too.

We might be coming back again, too. It’s good to have a gay venue in the Inner West of Sydney again. We’re trying to get a special podcast together to discuss the night very soon – stay tuned!

Seumas.

Bears in the City at Manacle, Friday 30th May

admin — Mon, 26 May 2008 09:26:45 +0000

Hey everyone!

You might be interested to know that Bears in the City will be going to Manacle for their opening night. John, Seumas, Clinton and Craige will be there from about 10pm, until about midnight (although Craige and Clinton have already told me that they’re going to be staying out late and going hard all night!).

As we mentioned, Manacle is reopening in the inner west of Sydney and we’re excited that we’re going to have a venue in the neighbourhood, so we’re going to go. If you were thinking of going, and wanted to catch up with us as a group, this is a great way to do it. Seumas will bring the camera as well to capture the images of the night, so come and get your photo taken with us!

Here’s the Details:

Manacle Opening Night at the Clarence Hotel
Friday 30th May, 2008

seumas — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 22:36:39 +0000

We know that it has been a while since our last podcast. We had recorded a show recently, but due to technical issues (blame Seumas again!) and timetabling issues, we haven’t been able to get #16 out yet. We’ll be recording a new podcast very soon, and it’ll be a bit of a bumper podcast, as we have so much to talk about.

So hang tight, wait a little longer, keep the faith and we’ll see you very soon.

Oh, and Craige and John want to thank everyone for a fantastic time at Northern Exposure – and Seumas will be seeing you at Grrrampians in Victoria in early November, as well as tripping around Melbourne. Look out for us!

seumas — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 12:12:52 +0000

Hey everyone, thanks for your questions asking when the next podcast will be up. We’ve had a break enforced on us through a number of factors, and so the next time that we’ll be able to get together and record is the weekend of 21st/22nd July. We’ll have podcast #11 up after that.

We’re really flattered that you guys are keen to hear the next podcast – we started this as an excuse to get us as a bunch of friends together and make each other laugh, and we want to stay true to that, so don’t want to rush out podcasts just to keep to a schedule. We appreciate that you understand this.

If you feel like it though, please send us email at podcast@bearsinthecity.com.au and let us know what you think, or just what’s on your mind! We’ll read out a few of them and talk back to you on podcast #11.

Oh, and there might be the possibility of more podcasts from more Australian bear events shortly, so stay tuned!
