Hey Gnomads!
Sorry for the lack of updates, school has been busy for us, and it's crunch time now - end of the semester!
Anyways, here's a little update on Gnorbert!
We received an email from his mommy; it was so cute. She mentioned how his brother was waiting on his rock for him (that was the gnome that I almost took at first, but he was a little on the heavier side...and he was sitting - so kinda awkward hah.) and how Gnorbert had missed her 75th birthday party! We felt bad about that so we sent her a birthday card with pictures of Gnorbert with some streamer type things on him. I, unfortunately, don't have the pictures on this computer.
The email was very, very sweet unlike the more unfriendly one from Gnorman's owner. Oh well!

Okay that's all for now!

Gnorman and Gnorbert Visit the East Coast -- Boston, MA

2007-03-15T00:52:00.000-07:00

Our favorite gnomies have done it again! This time they've managed to trek off to Boston...enjoy! =)

Gnorman's enjoying the fresh Bah-ston air! How bout we begin that Freedom Trail with the U.S.S. Constitution?

"Cheeeese." Look at us! It's freezing cold, but they say it's not bad for the East Coast.

Gnorbert's a history buff. He's looking forward to reading about each location and taking all the tours on the trail!

Ey, get us some chow-dah!

Cold weather does not fare too well for our friends...their next trip will likely take them someplace warmer.

Message from Gnorman's Owner!

Sorry, I suck, I forgot to tell you all that we received an email from Gnorman's owner. We included a special email address in our last mailing to the owners. They don't seem too pleased that their gnome has done so much travelling huh?

"It's time to cut your traveling short, you have been gone way too long. Please return Home to xxxxx xxxxx, xxxxxxx." (Edited to protect...uhm private information.)

Become A Member!

Hey everyone!
We're now opening up the membership application process.

To become a member, right now, you either need to have:
1. Gnabbed a gnome.
-or-
2. Helped a gnome travel somewhere (and have some photograhic proof)

When you are accepted you'll get a spiffy ID card. I'll upload a sample later maybe, but I'm lazy you never know, we still haven't even laminated ours yet haha.

IMPORTANT:WE ARE NOT CONDONNING THE STEALING OF GNOMES. We are merely freeing them from their gardens for awhile so that they can travel the world before returning home to their families.

but we do recommend some big sunglasses and a hat...so you can't be easily identified if someone comes after you ;)

Please copy and paste the following form and email it to gnomadgnomeorg@gmail.com with the subject line: "Member Application"

Name:
Any preferreable Nickname or Codename you want for your ID card:
Age:
State of Residence:
Describe your gnome gnabbing or gnome travelling, Basically, why do you qualify to be a member?
Where has your gnome travelled to?
Does your gnome have a name?

if possible, please provide a link to a picture of your gnome friend!

There may be some follow-up questions, if we deem you worthy... but as of now, I don't really know what else we really need to know about y'all.

Stay tuned! We might post some tips on gnome gnabbing!

Gnorbert and Gnorbman in Shibuya -- Tokyo, JAPAN

Konnichiwa friends!

It has been a while, but after a couple weeks of planning Gnorman and Gnorbert have made it to Japan (getting here was easier said than done...)!

Shibuya is one of the craziest places in Tokyo. Check out perhaps the busiest street crossing in the world!

Gnorbert is definitely enjoying the bustling crowds.

Have to make sure not to get trampled on...

Gnorman is just as excited. Where's Shibuya 109?

Nothing like it!

Behind the Scenes...

2006-12-22T14:01:00.000-08:00

Finding a gnome is not an easy task. But we finally found not one, but two houses on the same block that had gnomes in their front yards after hours of searching. Above, you will find our new friends' profile and their first adventure out in the world.

We here at the Gnomad Gnome Organization hope you will follow along on their journeys.

2006-12-21T13:31:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the future home of the Gnomad Gnome Organization. Please wait as we find a gnome.
