The costume's first public outing was at iPass on Thursday 2 days before Halloween. That was when iPass had their Halloween party.

The gnome gives a gallant pose.

Notice the guy with the huge head on the left. That's Kae's costume. He's a Mii from the Wii! His head is made by putting modeling foam on the outside of a box and then sculpting it and painting it. The crazy thing is that he can't see out of the head at all! He suggested that perhaps some day he would add a camera in the forehead and a screen on the inside. I think that a small hole in one of the eyes might be good enough to at least let me see where he's going.

Those are some bumpy legs I have there.

Matt joins our little costume show.

Our manager likes to shoot us with nerf guns, so it's sort of a thing we enjoy around the office. That's why I'm holding that yellow orange piece of plastic in my hand. It's a part of a gun. For some reason no one could find a whole nerf gun when they were taking pictures.

Matt feeds the gnome some candy.

The gnome joins the party.

This is probably my favorite picture of the gnome. I just think it's so fun to see him standing there in the middle of a group of costumeless people.

This one is great too. You can see most of the gnome. His face just looks so expressive!

The gnome eats some more candy.

Ishita feeds the gnome yet more candy.

Our CEO gets into the fun by poking the gnome in the hat.

For some reason people just like poking the gnome in the eye. Ouch! I think that's Nandini doing the poking.

Here are Matt and Kae again. I love the way that the gnome looks so short next to everyone else. In reality my real head is at the same height as Matt's head.
