I woke up totally psyched up for July!!!!! It will be one whole year since I've seen them live and I'm more than ready. Maybe we'll get a preview of some new stuff by then.  :nanner: :nanner: I'm so excited!

Hi Suzie Goo,
You posted so many cool pics yesterday, they were really fab. So i guess u met the Goo's?

I was trying to listen yesterday so didnt post that much during the shows, but everyones commentry was very entertaining!  

I still wonder why Johnny was lauging so much during Give a little bit! For a moment i thought he wasnt going to sing 1000 words but this live version was so beautiful.  I felt like singing so loudly but at 4.00am (half way) the show i was the only one up in the house. LOL

*whine* But that's the thing.  I haaaaven't.  Not yet.  But there is always the next show, right? I have met a ton of awesome WOGers though.  ;D

I haven't really been that bummed about it because I know that when I do meet them it will be because it was meant to be at that moment, right?  The timing just hasn't been right.  Though I did round the corner in Atlanta just as the bus was pulling away.  LOL  Weird to be driving behind the tour bus.  Then I got caught by a red light and they were gone. LOL  

I just feel happy to have been lucky enough to see a few shows.   ;)

Dream of Goo ... I wasn't at the LIB concert but the private show on the 30th right before LIB. That was a great night because we got to meet them. Meeting them was great but surreal. It was over so fast ... and... did I mention I left my brain outside until after I met them ... damn nerves. At least I didn't make a fool of myself and hang all over John like alot of women did. But I just didn't say anything intelligent ... even forgot to tell them all my name. But I did get to shake their hands and got my pic taken with them. It was one of those never forget nights.

Hi ShanGOOfan,

its was so interesting reading yr encounter with goos.
Private show? - thats even better than LIB concert. Thats on LIB dvd bonus feature- i will try and spot u lol. What u describe is something i can only imagine - i would b just like u, if i got anywhere near any of them i would have a hard time shaking their hands let alone talk 2 them. heheh. Funny they r human? lol. About those girls - i dont think its good 2 get yr hopes up 4 anything more than meet and greet from the guys cos they have their own personel lives and doing stuff like that seem over the top. Have u ever shared those pics of u and the guys - cos i would love to see, but i guess i would understand if they were personal to u. Thanks 4 sharing yr experience.

Title: Re: Morning after Sirius Show...
Post by ShanGooFan on May 7th, 2005, 1:24pm
I would love to share the pic of me and the guys but it was a group pic and I'd have to have all other 9 peep's permission to post it. I can try to edit it down to me, John and Mike later...I was seated by both of them. Robby was way on the other side.  I'll try to post it tonight ... I'm going out for the rest of the afternoon in about a minute.

I think I would have been better meeting them if it would have been more spontaneous. But we had so much build up and time to wait outside and then more time to wait in line .... by the time our group got to meet them the build up just takes over and BAM your brain packs up and leaves you ... it's just surreal. I agree they are human but they are human's I've admired and greatly respected over the past 10 years...whose music touches me and feeds my soul.  When I finally got to meet them it was just overwhelming and I check out. Hopefully, *fingers crossed* if I ever meet them again I can do it with complete brain functioning ... I have to redeem myself at this point ... LOL

Post by Dream of Goo on May 7th, 2005, 1:59pm
Well i look forward 2 see the pics, thanx and have a good afternoon.
yeh totally understand about their music touching yr soul and heart.... Lately 'name' and 1000 words r really haunting me to think about past feelings. LOL. now u know what 2 expect, u will b fine.. remember to tell them yr name lol.

Ok ... here goes the pic. I don't think this is my best picture but it's with John and Mike so they make me look good ;D

I wana know how does a goo fan get to go to these meet and greats?

This was the private show they did kind of as a dress rehearsal before the LIB show. This show was advertised locally in the Buffalo area. Well, you know Goo fans ... once one fan learned of it the news was spread about the Goo boards and those who could manage to go went. It was $100 but well worth the $. You got a meet and greet, your picture taken with the guys, a signed picture flat, and the private concert. Plus, after the meet and greet the guys were all wandering around socializing with the fans ... I unfortunately missed this part because I had my 2nd row place secured and wasn't moving an inch ... lol.  It was such a great night and one I'll never forget.

Whenever events like this happen it will always eventually make it to the message boards. Your best way of finding information is just to check the boards regularly. AG (Absolute Goo) almost always has the newest information immediately so that's a good board to check if you're looking for up to date info.

Thanx, im sure no matter how much it was or the distance it was well worth it. I will look out for the new album and hope they come to the UK! If not, i hope they r still touring at a time where i can make it �to the U.S, i guess time will tell. I hope, but if i dont all these memories that WOG share will stay with me. Thanx again.

*waving* Hi, Shannon! I don't know if you'd remember me or not, but I was near you, I think. I was holding down my little piece of real estate in the 3rd row in front of Robby at the private show so I didn't walk around either. I was there with Sara, Jules and Char.

I was so tongue tied that I forgot to introduce myself to the guys, too. And yeah...I felt sorry for John, the way he was mauled by some of the women that were there! Rude...they treated him like a piece of meat. The $100 for the private show was money well spent. It also included great food and free mixed drinks, but I didn't partake because I didn't want to have to run to the bathroom later. What did John say onstage, "Do you know how much Porta Potties cost?" referring to the cost of putting on the free show on the 4th. LOL

Anyway...Dearborn, here we come!! ;D

Hey Linda. I do remember you. I saw you and Sara outside the hotel the following morning too... as we were loading up and leaving. That was a great night wasn't it?

I'll be at Dearborn too. I'll look forward to seeing you again.

Title: Re: Morning after Sirius Show...
Post by Linda on May 8th, 2005, 11:54am
That's right, we did see each other the morning after-DUHHH, how could I forget? lol What an incredible night that was! I wonder if the Goos would ever do something like that again-a big meet and greet? We were lucky to have heard about it!

I'm sure we'll see each other in Dearborn-hopefully on the rail!!  ;D

Post by Dream of Goo on May 8th, 2005, 12:59pm
This is going to sound strange but at the sirius show the guy hosting was saying Los Angeles different from how i would say it here. Was this his accent and is this the way the americans say L.A or is it the way that u r suppossed 2 say it!

Hey Shannon, great pic.  You and Linda both were so fortunate to attend the pre-show.  Where's your pic Linda?  
That's really too bad about the way some people showed a lack of restraint around John...poor guy, that's enough to turn him off from doing personal appearances I would think.   Me? I'd be happy just to make eye contact with him  :cool:

I don't know how to crop it, so I'll have to get someone to do it for me. But all of the group pics were online at one point, don't know if they're still there or not. I was in Group 4 next to Robby.  :D

I was watching live in Buffalo and i was trying to recongnise you guys who went either to the private show or LIB concert - so far i have spotted Shangoofan - it all feels real that i know people i am talking to on wog boards are real and that they really like goo  like me and have been to buffalo and met the guys!!! This makes me happy. You guys who were waiting to see the private show look so excited and i feel the anticipation of meeting the band and being at their concert!

Post by ShanGooFan on May 9th, 2005, 9:48am
Yep, I'm in the DVD and the video. My friend hand made that banner we are holding up for the camera. It was really beautiful and she managed to get lots of fan signatures on it. And, we were close enough to the stage during the show that she was finally able to give it to Robby. She tried to throw it on stage at one of the NYE shows but it missed so this was the perfect opportunity for her.

I remember being so excited to meet them that I almost felt sick ... like I said I'd been a fan for nearly 10 years at that point and it was my first time meeting them. The longer we waited the more the excitement built. I almost felt like jumping out of my skin at one point. I think that's why by the time I did meet them my brain checked out. It was sensory overload at that point...lol

Title: Re: Morning after Sirius Show...
Post by Dream of Goo on May 9th, 2005, 10:18am
Yeh the banner is amazing and creative. Im glad u guys had that chance to give to them. when i watched the dvd b4 i knew u guys i thought wow thats cool.
I can relate to how u feel, i've been a fan for 6 years i think and listening to sirius was the first chance i had got to listen to guys in realtime - and talking with u guys at the same time - i was so  nervous - excited. And when the guys came on playing big machine i felt like singing at the top of my voice - imagine if i was their! hehehe.
