My Gnome Gets Around…
Posted on May 10, 2005 by Christine | 13 Comments
Two years ago, at SXSW, I purchased two cute plastic gnomes. They went with me to Kevin Smokler’s First Annual SXSW Dinner Party. Brad, of course, showed them a good time, giving them beer, demonstrating their great sense of humor, and so forth.
This year at SXSW, they returned for the Third Annual Dinner Party with Kevin. We decided that Austin alone was not enough for the Gnomes, so they were sent off on adventures. One of them has been spotted at Stanford, thanks to Aaron. The photographs are fabulous, and it is obvious that my Gnome is having a good time.
I think the Gnome needs to travel on. Anyone care to have a Gnome visit? Let me know and we can make arrangements. All I ask is that you take and post photos of the Gnome and promise not to hijack him. Gnomes need to roam. If I can’t travel more often, at least my Gnome can!

Hilarious. Even I have photos of your Gnomes. I’ll have to upload them to my flickr account and give them a tag, got one you’d like me to use? “Gnomes” perhaps.

My fiance and I would love to show your gnome around the University of Wisconsin campus! It’s no Stanford, but our lakefront union terrace is famous for its beer…

If you’d like your Gnome to see the sights of LA–let me know! We’ll treat him so many ways, he’ll have to like one of them.

I’d love to host the Gnome in NYC – just have to get a new digital camera first so I can actually take pictures…

If the gnome wants to hang out in Minnesota, you can send him my way!

the gnome is welcome over here in Germany…if you send him this summer we could also get photos of him in France.

Hmmm… somehow, I need to come up with a more unique tag, don’t you think? bpcgnome? (I would also use gnomes as a tag, because they are gnomes, after all.)
I’ll think of a tag and post my early gnome photos later today or tomorrow. Gnomes with Shiner, Gnomes with bubble tea – the gnomes have seen it all!

Wow… your gnome is going to be racking up the frequent flyer miles!
I would be happy to show him around Dallas.

Thanks for reminding me to upload the pic to flickr!

Hey you can send your gnome to Alabama for some good southern fun and a ride on my ambulance!

Well, Kansas City’s not much fun, but if he’d like to hang out in an exciting (NOT) sql development group for a few days, I’d let him

OMG! You can so count me in. Boy could I show those gnomes a good time…

If your Gnomes can make it to Northern Virginia by the 29th, they can visit France and India.
