So a gnome IM'd me the other day.
How does a gnome end up on IM anyway? I imagined him tossing the unicorn some extra alfalfa, popping a Diet Coke, then hopping on Facebook to see if anyone hot on his friends list has been dumped recently.
Maybe that's just me.
The gnome in this case was our very own Tacoma Gnome, who I understand has just participated in the 72-Hour Film Fest.
Our chat went thusly:
9:47pm
Gadsby
Hi Ms Davenport! Any place I should go in the coming weeks that would be of interest?
9:47pm
Kelly
Gosh, I dunno. In Tacoma, you mean?9:47pm
Gadsby
Well, I am the TacomaGnome, after all.9:47pm
Kelly
That you are.
My fallback is either pinball at Top of Tacoma or the cheeseburger at El Gaucho happy hour9:48pm
Gadsby
Oooh, top of Tacoma, I've communicated with a Rob who is a friend of the owners.9:49pm
Kelly
I swear the Lord of the Rings pinball machine there is blessed. I've had some great games.9:49pm
Gadsby
Nice. what is pin-ball?9:50pm
Kelly
Oh, I guess you might be a little short for that
Oops (** Ed. note: I immediately felt embarrassed for mentioning his stature. I clearly flunk sensitivity training.)9:51pm
Gadsby
Well, do they have stools? Or a sample stool I can stand on?
9:51pm
Kelly
They certainly have stools. That'll do the trick.
All you need are opposable thumbs and some quarters9:52pm
Gadsby
WONDERFUL! Thank you for the suggestion! I'll try to get out there in the coming weeks.
9:52pm
Kelly
You're most welcome!
9:52pm
Gadsby
The best to you and the other gritizens out there.
I'm obviously going to have to be going out more, seeing as how woodland creatures are asking me about the nightlife and the best I come up with is pinball. At least it was Lord of the Rings pinball.
COMMENTS:
Not to spoil it, but in the last scene of Kevin's film, Tacoma Gnome was the last blogger I was suspecting. I was fortunate enough to be near the set for a scene from both films, and it is too bad that TG's other film didn't make official showing. TG's amazing. Such focus, and doen't even use a stand-in.
