gunther does a wedding

Gunther made the trip down to P'cola with Shan & I this weekend for Clint & Jessica's wedding. I believe it was the first official g'nome wedding sighting ;) I was tempted to tuck him into my bouquet so he could walk down the aisle with me, but thought better of it. G'nomes are not appreciated by everyone I guess... But how hilarious would it have been to have set him in some discrete location on the altar so that he was in every wedding picture? Mwa ha! ;)

MO ROCCA

Mo Rocca came to the Alys Stephens Center this past Saturday, so of course Gunther had to get his picture made with him!! That's 3 celebrities so far, 1 signer of the Constitution and several frighted pedestrians! Yessssssssssss!!!

g'nome update for the new year!

We finally have photographic proof that g'xine DOES in fact exist, in all her crippled glory. She is pictured here with Natasha & Mary. She was the very first g'nome... awwww... :)

I've added new Boston g'nome pix to the online album: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=6ro274n.7nnnbe6b&x=1&y=dxau5p
When you're in the Slideshow you can skip ahead to the new pics by mousing over the little squares at the bottom to find ones you haven't seen. Benjamin Franklin, foot-kissing, Freedom Trail + more! Enjoy.

And don't forget - please send any g'nome pix you've taken to maryvig@gmail.com and I will add them to the ever-growing album :) I've posted the most current version of the registry below. Let me know if you notice any errors... the other way wasn't tracking correctly, entries kept disappearing on me. So I'll just do it this way for awhile... yes, I made a spreadsheet ;) Ha. Surprised? Didn't think so. Anyway, we have g'nomes in 11 unique locations - 3 countries, 7 states baby!!!

Happy g'noming!

b.c. g'nomes

So g'nome fever has officially spread to boston! Some of xine's law school friends saw our g'nome pix, etc. and requested a special g'nome delivery from AL. However, I seem to have bought out every g'nome in the b'ham metro area, so there was a bit of a panic. But then I found another funny pose/version of our beloved g'nomes to send to boston college so all is well. I am posting a pic here of the b.c. army of g'nomes :) Please note that these g'nomes have their legs crossed (v. gayly) with hands resting on knee. So v. gay and lovely. I heart them v. much.

new g'nome pics + new g'nome!!

Rashi brought me a *fabulous* cubicle-warming gift today. Here he is.... Bartholomew!!! I'm calling him Bart for short. He's much bigger than our other g'nomes (and manish). I heart him... :)

Steve Hofstetter recently sent in some pics of G-Unit's travels. I've added them to the album with the others here: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=6ro274n.7nnnbe6b&x=1&y=dxau5p

1st celebrity sighting!

So Aaron Ruell & Jon Heder (aka Kip & Napoleon of Napoleon Dynamite) came to UAB and we got a chance to meet them and take pics, etc. So I had to pull out Gunther. I think they were a little afraid of me as they look less than thrilled to be holding the g'nome, but hey - I wasn't leaving without this picture! Enjoy :)

g'nome publicity

Some of you may recognize the name Steve Hofstetter from facebook. He's the comic who's trying to get 100,000 friends on fb. Anyway, check out this page from his website and see if you recognize anyone ;)
