Thursday, May 2nd starts our MAGNETIC ELEMENTS CHALLENGE on the AG site! This is a 14 day cyber scavenger hunt/trivia challenge.

We’re blowing out our stock of vintage Goo Goo Dolls merch in order to prepare for the release of the Goo Goo Dolls’ 10th studio album, Magnetic, on June 11th, and you can score!
Here is how it is going to work:

*Each day we will be posting a challenge either on the AG Message Board, Twitter, Facebook or Mailing List. Some challenges will be simple. Some, more complex.  Each challenge will be worth points.

*All challenges will only be good for that one day. If you miss one, you will have to move on to the next. There will be opportunities for bonus points along the way, so it will be possible to catch up.

*On the final day we will give you a form to put your answers in. Only one form will be accepted per fan.

We will compile points and the top winners will score;

First Place
One Goo Goo Dolls tote Bag
1 Autographed Setlist
Set of Goo Goo Dolls Wrist Bands
Autographed LLI Tour book
‘Circle and Star’ Goo Goo Dolls keychain

Second Place

We are kicking off our Magnetic May contest month a bit early here on Absolute Goo with some exciting news!

Last week we announced that the Goo Goo Dolls are going to be inducted into Guitar Center’s RockWalk. Today, thanks to the generous folks at Guitar Center, we are proud to announce that Absolute Goo has been given the privilege to offer TEN of you – and your ‘plus one’ – the chance to attend this exclusive invite-only event!  

That’s right, if you win, you and a guest will attend this very intimate affair (this is as press and family only event) and get to watch the Goo Goo Dolls receive the honor of being inducted into the Guitar Center’s RockWalk! This is a very small affair and it is amazing that we can offer this to you guys, we are thrilled!

Please ONLY ENTER if you can go. You will need to be at the Guitar Center’s Hollywood location on Sunset Boulevard by 11 am on Tuesday, May 7. Again, do not enter if you yourself cannot attend. You will be allowed one guest, your ‘plus one’.  You and your guest must be 18 or older.

Many thanks to Guitar Center for giving us this fantastic opportunity of offering this privilege to you guys – J, you rock!

Again, this is a guest list only occasion and we are adding TEN names to this list — one of them could be yours!

Enter by 12 midnight this Thursday, winners announced Friday, so don’t wait!!
