Title: New blog on GGD.com!
Post by Shannon on Jul 5^th, 2008, 9:34am

The guys posted a new blog yesterday .....

July 4th, 2008 - Nathan's 2008 July 4th competition!
This year's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest ended up tied after the regulation 10 minutes, with Chestnut and Kobayashi both having consumed 59 dogs and buns. The contest then went to a 5 hot dog eat-off. Chestnut was able to consume all 5 dogs just moments ahead of Kobayashi, thereby defending his title and assuring the coveted Mustard Yellow Belt a home in the United States for one more year. We, the Goo Goo Dolls, are happy once again to congratulate Mr Chestnut on a fine performance.
However, Mr Takac and Mr Mainin, after a lengthy conversation, both agreed that a more fair way to pick a winner would have been one extra minute of eating time. Whoever ate more in that extra minute would then be declared champion. If there was still a tie, they should then go for one extra minute. Maybe the IFOCE (International Federation of Competitive Eating) will take our suggestion to heart. We certainly hope so.

I use to love reading the daily goo everday...it was a crappy looking site, like most sites..but it was off the hook back in those days..lol. I liked how you could read like a year's worth of blogs.

Now, it seems that they don't keep an archive?

There is no archive on ggd.com but it's all on the IM. Every entry from the daily goo to the Gutterflower Tour to the Studio Diary to the blog now is on there. It dates back to July 1, 2000.

I'm not certain why it's not on GGD.com. I guess they see it as incentive to join the IM.
