ADAM NEATE - 1,000 Print Give Away, by mammal2 on Nov 15, 2008 19:38:41 GMT 1, If you're up for the cup go for it... call me a really sad git but I had a great time walking around London in the middle of the night with the chance of finding a piece. Was just having a pint with a mate and we were saying how AN's show was done last night made this peace extra special if you found one. Rather than getting in on a gallery PV or getting lucky F5'ing... you actually had to have the will power and devotion to get out there and do it without any idea whether you'd be lucky. IMO I think there's a few stragglers out there 
Agree without a doubt. Imagine if Banksy did this with Rat screens? Bring on the London show 2. This could be Neates Ghetto!
Edit: Possibly the most stupid thing I have ever suggested.

Well if he's up for people making money off the back of this then he should of sent a few in the direction of a couple of organisations that would benefit from such gifts! Such a great thing to do from Adam but to give the nod to those that see this as nothing more than a financial gain, whilst it no doubt promotes his own work, doesn't sit too well with me.
I still wish I found one, it would have went up on the wall if i did, and if I was lucky enough to have found multiples I would have given them away to those that really appreciate them, at no cost!

Ditto - It would have been best buzz ever to come across one last night. And I certainly would not be selling it, but as Adam says 'humans are humans'.
The thought of having one on my wall and telling the story over the years about how I found it etc etc is making me V sad..
I personally think I started to late last night. And maybe I read into the press release to much but I thought they were going to start on the outskirts of London and work thier way in ending at sunrise in central London.

ADAM NEATE - 1,000 Print Give Away, by bullet on Nov 15, 2008 20:16:15 GMT 1, thing is you have to think, they probably were in all boroughs for sure, but the borough of camden goes from at least nw3 in hampstead to 7 dials and more so round, thats 5 miles. someone doing a drop would have dropped them in tottenham court road or soho etc rather than places like swiss cottage etc.
westminster goes from covent garden down to parliament and round. so thats a pretty wide area as well and they would have picked the main areas again.
they were probably not spread out across these areas as that would have been a logistical nightmare and taken a week rather than a nigh if the whole of london was literally covered.

ADAM NEATE - 1,000 Print Give Away, by Happy Shopper on Nov 15, 2008 21:39:48 GMT 1, If Adams idea was to have London as his gallery, then it failed miserably. I drove all over the place today (not to look for them), but saw none at all. And I'd like to think I'm his target audience.
Why are people proud to have taken more than one? They just ruined the fun for others! And picking them up just after they'd been put down ruined the whole thing.
Perhaps this shouldn't have been promoted beforehand???

If you have found multiples then pass them on, or use the opportunity for a charitable cause, but taking multiples for financial gain is pure greed.
The whole event seems to have been a supermarket sweep for some.

ADAM NEATE - 1,000 Print Give Away, by remirough on Nov 15, 2008 22:08:24 GMT 1, I had a workshop to do in Paddington today, so I got up early and walked from Bond Street to holborn, doubling back via various back streets and saw absolutely sweet FA.
I reckon a good quarter of them got trashed by London's saturday morning cleaners, of which I saw a load...
Oh well, nevermind.
