Title: a couple of questions...
Post by aurora on Feb 7th, 2005, 2:35am
i'm no new fan...just new here, and i hope no one minds me asking...

is the band going to record another album?  i had heard they might not.

and, is there any chance of or any talk of a headlining tour or shows anytime in the near future...maybe this summer?

thanks a bunch.

they are in the studio as we speak recording their next disc which according to John should be out by June followed by a summer tour.

hey, thanks so much.

one more question, out of curiosity (and i'm seriously not trying to sound stalkerish)...

i know that some band's members post occasionally on their own band's site's message boards...since this band has no "official" message board on their site, i was just wondering if any of the goo goo dolls have ever posted and/or visited here.  

again...thanks for putting up with me (being a new poster here and all).

The official Goo site does not have a message board but Robby does updates there from time to time in the "journal" section. When they are touring the updates become more regular than say right now.

I can't confirm that any of the Goos have ever posted here but it's rumored that Robby has popped in here before but only a select few actually know what his screen name is ... and I'm NOT one of them ... LOL

LOL it refers to the board hosts...look at the bottom of the page:

Ok, right...I found a quote the other day from an interview where Robby said that he 'keeps up with the fansites' of the band and he actually mentioned this board by name. He said that sometimes the fans have more Goo information than HE does   :hahaha:

But I didn't know he had a SCREENNAME on here... :o

I'll be watching what I post from now on!  ;)

I don't know this for sure. But a couple of years ago one of the long time members mentioned something about Robby having a screenname but she wasn't telling it...she could have been joking, I don't know. �But I know he used to read here (and probably still does) because he would recognize members by their screennames. This board was always one of the most respected boards by the guys because Eva and the members tried to respect the privacy of their personal lives, etc. �I'm always cognizant and respectful of what I say on any board because you just NEVER know who is reading.

i was.   ;D

actually, i'm not sure if you were referring to what i said, specifically, but a couple of years ago there was a thread up very similar to this one, discussing whether or not the goos ever read/posted on the boards.  i made a crack that i didn't know who robby was, but that lil robby takac did, and he wasn't telling.  

i regretted the crack, believe me!  i didn't take into account that some people had not been on the board very long and didn't understand the "history" behind lil robby takac.  (he's been my avatar for YEARS, pretty much since i started on the board.  one day some of us dubbed him "lil robby" because we thought he danced like the real robby.  then, i used to make some funnies and comments, under the guise that i was passing them along from lil robby, the bunny.  it sounds stoopid, but we used to have a lot of fun with it many moons ago.)

at any rate, you all would be surprised how many people took me seriously.  for a long time my PM's and email were hammered with requests from people BEGGING me to let them know what robby's screenname was!  i had a couple that verged on the edge of stalkerdom; i somehow couldn't convince them that it was a total joke, and that even if i did know that robby had a screenname, even if i knew what it was, i'd never ever pass that along.

lil robby, therefore, doesn't make a lot of comments anymore.  he dances.  he chills.   ;)

Aha! You know, I'm an utter newbie here and I have to say, the whole 'lil Robby' thing confused the hell outta me. Things are so much clearer now! LOL

Ha Ha ... I knew that was you. I didn't want to name you though and start a riot ...LOL. I was new to the board then and I wasn't sure if you were serious or joking. Glad you cleared that up for us. Robby may not post here but I'd bet he reads the board as he often recognizes screennames.

you are nice!   ;D  how much you wanna bet that i will get at LEAST one PM or email asking me for the screenname though?   ;D  i think i'll start making one up...like harrypotter123 or pezluver.  

every show i've gone to, i wanted to make robby a lil robby takac t-shirt.  but i never have because a) i'm shy and b) i wasn't sure if he would "get" it.  i can see him all "who IS this crazy b*tch throwing a purple bunny t-shirt on the stage??"

I think you should definitely make him a shirt. Even if he didn't understand the meaning, I could totally see him wearing it ;)

I do remember that. Maybe that's why I wasn't sure at the time if you were joking or not...LOL. I remember at the time you saying the hint to Robby's screenname had to do with Lil Robby Takac. You have NO idea how long I tried to figure that one out ... LOL

A looooooooong time ago when I passively viewed the boards and didn't comment (due mainly to the lack of letters on the keyboard at work) I remember lil Robby Takac. He's just as cute as the real one!! ;)

Title: Re: a couple of questions...
Post by RogueUK on Feb 8th, 2005, 11:51am
:hahaha:

LMAO you're all INSANE!

You never know, maybe he knows about lil Robby already...if he DOES view this board which apparently he does. Anyway I bet he'd wear a t-shirt with a purple bunny on it. He likes wearing random t-shirts so he'll probably think it's cool!

You could always put a note with the shirt. Ha, or print some text on the back giving a lil' Robby biography... :hahaha:

Making up a screenname for Robby, haha...pezluver! How about 'BushSucks'? Or 'ToesocksRule'?!  

I'm not even gonna ask about lil lil Robby...though I do wonder how much 'lil'er Robby can get...he barely breeches the five foot mark as it is! That said, he's got a couple of inches on me. I'm hopelessly short...

We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, grace!  ;)

lil lil robby was ADORABLE.  he was this little tiny icon/avatar/picture thing of the real robby.  like a little cartoon.  and i tinkered with him in one of my graphics programs and made him dance around like lil robby and the real robby.

gadzooks.  all those robbys are making me dizzy.  they've dizzied up the girl.  tee hee.  i'm delirious this morning.

i think if i saw robby wearing a lil robby takac t-shirt i would DIE.  on the spot.  how much would THAT rock!

Title: Re: a couple of questions...
Post by RogueUK on Feb 9th, 2005, 1:24pm
Haha...cool! Do you still have the lil lil Robby at all? I wanna see him now...

Make the lil Robby t-shirt. DO IT, do it!  ;D And give it to him on the tour. I bet he'll love it! The Goos do wear things that fans give them, too...the girl who runs heavenlyintoxication gave him toesocks and he wore them, so chances are good he'd wear the t-shirt.

If I end up coming to Buffalo this year I'm gonna bring each of them something...not sure what yet. But I was playing with the idea of buying Robby a t-shirt of some descripition. No clearer than that yet, but when I see the perfect t-shirt I'll just KNOW.

no...but i'm drowning in your dizzy noise AND i wanna hear you scream!!

i'm actually not at all sure where lil lil robby is!  :(  i don't remember who i asked to host him for me after i cut off my AOL service, and i don't know if he is saved on my computer.  if anyone remembers, let me know!  if not, maybe it is time to recreate him!!
