So I have a friend.... a really good friend. I believe I've mentioned her before... Well this last Friday she was given a gift. a gift of a garden gnome. Yes. You heard me right. a garden gnome... A "Paint your own garden gnome" to be precise.
so I'm sure this question has popped up in your head, as it did mine, Who the hell gives someone a paint your own garden gnome kit as a gift???
well I wont go into those details as I promised not to "got to far"... cuz I have a tendency of doing that...
ANYWAY Friday night got quite boring and this friend of mine decides to name this gift, of garden gnome-ness.
Herbert is the name... Herbert the garden gnome.
Then she proceeds to paint her friend Herbert. & after many minutes of contemplation, she goes with a "joker" theme. from the Dark Knight, naturally, since this one was portrayed the best ever in existence.
So, our joker faced, pencil holding, magic trick doing, garden gnome friend came to be.
Now we've decided that, since he has become quite popular amongst the NIN Louisville/Indiana/Tennessee & I want to say Ohio fan base, we are going to make Herbert the garden gnome our new designated every-other-weekend out buddy! ^_^
Well this Saturday we found ourselves at Thunder Over Louisville!! A very RAD place to be if you are ever here in Louisville during the month if April, & Of course Herbert was with. we had a blast & Herbert became quite the social butterfly taking picture with tons of people & landmarks.
We've come to the conclusion that this gift of garden gnome awesomeness will take us places. he is our ticket to the big times... & should he fail (since we're giving him til the NIN concert in AZ this may) we will at least have these pictures & the memory of our dear too-tiny-to-make-a-difference-in-a-garden friend Herbert.
here are the pics... in no particular order... hope you enjoy!!
