Well hey there. Just your favorite Amish Meth Lab musician here with a breaking news update!

nomadA band of bluegrass gnomes is playing in Boulder, Colorado tomorrow. They’re great friends of ours and call themselves The Gnome Addicts. It’s a wonder how more of you out there reading there aren’t gnome addicts yourselves.

Or maybe you are. Are you addicted to us?

Anyhoo, if you’re in the Boulder area or if you are really into bluegrass and don’t mind a long commute, go check ’em out tomorrow! By buying a ticket, you’re helping restore the Nomad Theater because all ticket proceeds go towards the restoration. Pretty rad, eh?

Show starts at 6:30….see ya there!

Banjos 4 life,
McCartney The Gnome and Amish Meth Lab founder

See! The Travelocity Gnome is a Good Dude After All (so stop yo’ hatin’)

The Travelocity Roaming Gnome Donates Great Gnome Nabbing Stakeout Car to Texans Can Academies’ Cars For Kids Charity Auction

DALLAS, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Texans Can Academies , a nonprofit charter high school organization serving at-risk youth, recently accepted the 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic automobile used by the Travelocity Roaming Gnome as his stakeout car in the Great Gnome Nabbing campaign.  The stakeout car was driven by the Roaming Gnome through Dallas and New York City on the lookout for travelers to choose as the winner for an around the world trip.TEXANS CAN ACADEMIES MENDIS TRAVELOCITY MARQUEZ CHEVROLET CAPRICE CLASSIC

Since returning to Texas, the Roaming Gnome’s car has been vacationing at Travelocity headquarters in Southlake.  Company leaders decided to continue the car’s mission of good works by donating it to Dallas-based non-profit charity auction group, Cars for Kids.

Cars for Kids is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization benefiting Texans Can Academies and is the only car donation program in Texas that is operated by the charity it serves. For more information, visit: http://www.texanscan.org or http://www.carsforkids.org.

The proceeds from the weekly auctions support more than 7,000 students at the ten Texans Can Academies working to earn their high school diplomas. The nonprofit believes helping these students receive a strong education is critical to breaking the cycle of inter-generational poverty and illiteracy.

Just sharing the love,

Gnomes Discover an Umbrella Cover Museum

In case you didn’t realize, we gnomes are into weird crap. Today, we came across something entirely random for no reason at all.

An umbrella cover museum!

umb1Nancy Hoffman is our new hero. She is the proud owner of 730 umbrella covers, which is the Guinness World Record! Now don’t misunderstand me….I’m not talking about umbrellas. I’m only talking about their COVERS!

Go to Peaks Island, Maine if you don’t believe me.

umb2Their mission statement: “The Umbrella Cover Museum is dedicated to the appreciation of the mundane in everyday life. It is about finding wonder and beauty in the simplest of things, and about knowing that there is always a story behind the cover.”

We can get behind that, Nancy…sure we can. If you have old umbrella covers lying around your porch, we gnomes encourage you to donate them to Nancy. She will totally be way more into them than you are. Promise.

Until next weird time,
Yankee Doodle The Gnome

Happy April 1st from the magnificent highways of Southern Wisconsin!

P.S. – No, I’m not pregnant…no matter what the other jokester gnomes try to tell you.

P.P.S. – The hammocks in that calendar photo look mighty swell. Anyone know where I can pick one up that’s my size?
