big enough to either be the headliners or the next-to-last act! The Goo's
will likely be the third-from-last act, and the whole show starts at 3 or 4 pm.

hopefully many of Nathan
December's Goo Tour Reports!
I don't have this confirmed, but it looks as if the
Goo's did not win the Billboard Music Video Award for Best Pop Clip. theEnews
has announced simply that Will Smith won an award, and looking at the nominees,
I believe that was the only award he was up for. Maybe we'll get 'em next time
- the third time's a charm - insert your favorite cliche.
Check out a couple reviews of the Philadelphia (11/5)
show, from Laurie and
Brad!
Also, the Goo's will have a TV appearance on

you want to be in on the inital order!
11:08:31 - First there was the
Goo Goo Dolls fans web ring, now
I've created a web ring just for
Goo Goo Dolls web sites! For webmasters this should bring
more visits to your site (especially if it is not as well known)
and for fans this will hopefully be able to bring you a fun and
easy way to visit all the Goo sites on the net! Watch for it to
expand soon!
