Dear Temple Of Goo readers,

this is just a friendly reminder that the Torn Apart concert is approaching fast and it will take place next week, November 15th, in London, Ontario (CANADA).

For those who are interested in participating, head over to our blog post for more information about the band (older Goo Goo Dolls songs being covered only!) and on how to buy tickets for the event.

For those who won’t be able to be there, stay tuned as we might get some videos/pictures from the show in the near future.

We wish Eric et al. all the best with their Goo Goo Dolls-related initiative.

PLEASE NOTICE: The podcast kind of ends abruptly. All it was missing was just the goodbyes from the speakers anyway.

Laurie Farinacci: The Fourth Goo Goo Dolls Member? – A Podcast
