12/5/01 - We'd like to extend a very big Happy Birthday to John Rzeznik, who turned 36 years old today!!! He's a very gifted and talented songwriter and musician, and probably without Robby Takac helping to bring out these talents in John over the years, we would have never known who the Goo Goo Dolls were. They now stand as an incredibly popular band with an illustrious career of big hits in popular music. John has been playing guitar with the Goo Goo Dolls since the beginning.

12/4/01 - Today we have some more Discography updates. I also added Adam to the AIM Chat Directory! Add him to your lists!

The Goo Goo Dolls are probably in their last couple days of finishing up their next album, Gutterflower. By the way, when did it go from "Gutterflowers" to "Gutterflower"(plural to singular)? I had to pause and reread it when I saw it in the Daily Goo.

Speaking of the Daily Goo, there is supposedly going to be big announcements coming up very shortly, including announcements about Buffalo(maybe a Christmastime or New Year's concert or something of the like), so don't get too far away from your computer in the next few days.

12/3/01 - Today I added Sarah and Mandy to the AIM Chat Directory! Add them to your GOO lists! Also, thanks to Elissa for sending me her Discography updates!
