Gnorm the Traveling Gnome takes on Charlotte...again

This was Gnorm's second visit to Charlotte, and he must have been feeling more at home....because there was a little Gnome-Gone-Wild action.
On the way to Charlotte we ran into my former co-workers, on the way to the same meeting....





































At the meeting, Gnorm immediately asked to have his photo taken with Deborah..... but for some reason she does not show up in photos....



















And then with one of the most helpful guys in the world....



















Hanging out, keeping up on work....






















Soon, despite his crazy nerves, he was able to deliver an inspired state of the Gnomeland address.




















After day one of meetings, Gnorm needed a break and took a little cruise. It was a bit embarassing when he was leaning over the bow yelling, "I'm gnome of the world!!!!"



















Later that evening Gnorm enjoyed some time at a local bar/arcade.... After playing some games, he and I decided to go into the photo booth that merges two faces to show what their child would look like. ummmmm..... yeah....Gnorm's mama must have gotten around.









































In the car, Gnorm wanted to get close with Lindsay....


















A photo of our accommodations for the week....























Gnorm, our friend Chris (the other most helpful guy in the world), and I drove around looking for trouble later that night.... Didn't find too much of that, but did find the eclipse




















My friend Michelle surprised me with gnome salt and pepper shakers for my birthday. Gnorm wanted them to feel welcome.....






































Overall, Gnorm really enjoyed this trip, but was glad to get home and take a break. Next week it's off to Detroit....hopefully no drive-by-shooting photos......
