It's fun, it's healthy, it's good exercise. The kids will just love it. And we put a little sand inside to make the experience more pleasant.

You know, they say there was a man who jumped from the forty-FIFTH floor? But that's another story...

The Gnome arrived in Missoula, Montana yesterday. Took him out drinking at Sean Kelley's, the Irish Pub here. That little guy can drink some beer. Anyways, going to take him to work this morning at World Games of Montana. Hopefully I will get his picture uploaded tomorrow and he will ship out on Monday--where to? He hasn't told me yet.....

I apologize if the pictures are too big beforehand...

So the Gnome--does he have a name yet?--went to work with me today at the game store....



Due to the fact that the Farmer's Market is taking near by, the morning at the store was somewhat slow. The Gnome and I (I vote for the name Meridian due to all the meridians he will be traveling through) decided to play hide an seek in the store....

...First he hid in the puzzle section...



..and then behind the counter with the chess boards...



..and finally, his sneakiest place yet, the window display (which I did not make if you are wondering)...



Later in the afternoon he helped me at a game of Attribut on BSW with some of the geeks from the chatroom (he is the reason I lost Brian). The Gnome even came up as one of the topics...



Anyways, weather calls for rain tomorrow, so I'm going to teach him my favorite games then, and then its off to his next destination (he has been searching the web for touristy spots he might like to visit at the possibilities we currently have).

First off, nice nice nice store. I'd love to hang out there and do some gaming.

Second, you really DO have a thing for Gnomes, don't you.

Cheers.

wow I haven't played Attribut on BSW in ages! Well, partly due to timing issues, but still... I miss it!

You certainly have given the gnome a great time. I'm sure he'll end up sometime the heart of the "heart of it all" OHIO. Not the state motto anymore, but ya know. I can't wait. I'd like to see him go all around the world!

Ok, a couple more from yesterday before I sent out the Gnome today.

Here Ayumi shows the Gnome the place where "A River Runs Through It."



And then we took him to check out the University of Montana. He is a Griz fan now by the way..



His official pic playing a game is located on the geeklist!

I hope he has fun at his next location!!

Notice how she kept her glasses on so you couldn't tell what she thought of the whole thing?

Through the grapevine, I have heard that the BGGnome is in transit to his next location. Where that is, I cannot say, because I don't know.

That makes me sad
I very much want to play a game with BGGnome.
I'll just have to wait in line like everybody else! Maybe I'll get him in time for GenCon!

I KNEW IT! A grapevine? A goatee conspiracy mor like, they are all in on it. They all know where he is going. I bet they all meet up and stroke their beards and laugh at us poor 'shavers' who honestly think we are in with a chance of seeing the gnome.

10 days since the last news of the Gnome (or should that be Gnews of the Gnome). Where is he?
