What's New Archive - September '99

9/30/99 00:05:44 - Happy Birthday to our fave bassist, Robby Takac! If you sent me a birthday greeting for Robby, I've forwarded it on. I'm sorry, but I can't take any more!
More updates to the new Show Board!
9/29/99 13:49:14 - Since the WB Goo Message Board was taken down, we're going to try having one on this site. So go check out the new World of Goo Message Board! This board will be moderated, and if it gets too bad, will cease existence. Have fun!
9/27/99 21:11:93 - Big updates to the new Show Board, as well as the Trading Board, and the first entries on this leg of the tour's Ticket Trade!
9/26/99 19:22:07 - The new Show Board is up! Send me email at [email protected] if you are planning on hitting one of the mp3.com shows!
Check out Jackie's awesome photos and encounter with the Goo's at the NYC Private Show!
I added Der, Heather, and Brianne to the Goo Fans' Photo Album!
9/25/99 14:56:32 - Conspiracies abound! Nick has found a connection between the new Final Fantasy VIII game and our own John Rzeznik. He wrote up a comparison at http://home.earthlink.net/~remixcorp!
Dave's other band CO Jones is playing a show tonight in Buffalo. Check out the show flyer!
9/24/99 22:08:15 - The first Buffalo date has already sold out, so they've added the second one. This one will likely soon sell out as well, so look for the third one to be added soon! Tickets for shows in Ypsilanti & East Lansing, MI; Amherst, MA; Towson, MD; and Binghamton, NY are all also now on sale via TicketMaster!
9/23/99 23:48:34 - Check out new reviews from: Cory in West Palm Beach (9/18), Jaime in West Palm Beach (9/18), and Kathryn in Houston (9/4)!
I've updated the Tour Calendar with the latest info. Of particular note, the show for Madison, WI has been taken off and will likely not be rescheduled or added. Please do not contact the venue or promotion agency about this, thanks.
9/22/99 22:28:01 - Happy 1 year birthday to Dizzy Up The Girl! The Goo's latest double-platinum album turned one year old today! (Thanks to Addie for pointing that out!)
I'm hearing all sorts of rumors about the Buffalo shows in December. The two most interesting and valid that I've heard so far are from Joe who says they are quite possibly going to be filming a new video (Broadway, maybe?) at the concert! Additionally, Harry says that the show on 12/1 is a "Toys for Tots" show. Anyone who brings a new toy gets a real autographed picture of the Goo's. The person with the most toys supposedly gets an autographed guitar from Johnny. I can't confirm the validity of either of these, so no guarantees! Both Joe and Harry mentioned that if the first show sells out, they have options for shows at Shea's for 12/2 *and* 12/3!
In addition to the new releases mentioned below, there is also an Iris/Slide import CD apparently available from Germany. It has the album and acoustic versions of both Iris and Slide on it. Here's the album cover! (Thanks, Phil!)
I added Jackie and Amanda to the Goo Fans' Photo Album!
9/21/99 23:10:03 - More reviews, thanks to Annie! Check out reviews from: Collene in Nashville (9/14)(!!!), Mandy in Philly (8/25), Gina in Jacksonville (9/17), Adam in West Palm Beach (9/18), and Stacey and Jamie in West Palm Beach (9/18)!
9/20/99 23:29:03 - There are a couple forthcoming releases with Goo music on them. Neither of these are confirmed, but on 9/28, there should be a release coming out called "This is Alice Music, Vol. 3" with at least one track (likely a popular one) by the Goo's. (Thanks to Julie for the heads-up on that!). Additionally, there is allegedly a Black Balloon/Slide 7" out, but I have not seen that officially. Regardless, keep an eye out!
Kevin alerted me that tickets for the Buffalo (12/1) show now go on sale September 24, not in early October as previously scheduled.
Be sure to catch the Goo's tomorrow (Sept 21) on the Rosie O' Donnell show. In other TV news, the Goo Goo Dolls FANatic will reair Thursday at 2:30 pm Eastern and the Goo's on Loveline repeats on Friday at 11:30 pm Eastern!
9/18/99 15:45:23 - Our favorite bassist Robby's birthday is coming up on September 30. Again this year, the World of Goo will be collecting your birthday greetings for Robby. Please send them either via the Feedback Form or via email to [email protected]! I will forward these on to Robby on his birthday!
Erin typed up an article about the Goos from Music Alive magazine!
New show reviews, thanks to Annie! Check out reviews from: Chris in Little Rock (9/13), Andrew in Virginia Beach (8/31), and Autumn in Raleigh (9/10)!
9/17/99 21:00:31 - Unfortunately my email server had a crash, so if you tried to email me since about noon on Thursday, I did not get it. Please resend it to me at [email protected]. Thanks!

9/16/99 11:28:54 - Dave Schulz tells me that his other band, C.O. Jones, is playing a gig on Saturday, September 25 at the Calumet on Chippewa and Franklin in Buffalo, starting at 11 pm. Additionally, you can check out the C.O. Jones Cybergasm at http://www.pce.net/cojones/! This is a fairly old site that Dave and I will be working on updating in the next few months, so if you have any feedback/suggestions, let me know at [email protected].

10:38:43 - Press Release!
