Certain questions get asked a lot, so we figured that if we posted them here first, we could save everyone a bit of time and hassle. Obviously, we couldn't get asked a couple of these frequently, since they have to do with the update, but this was the best place to put them :)
When is Gabe's birthday/ where was he born/ etc. ?
Ok, this is a frequent email. His birthday is April 23, 1976 (that would make him 23 currently) and he was born in Reno, Nevada. All of this info can easily be found by going to the Fast Facts section. This is also why we ask that you check out the entire site before you email us, so we can avoid questions like this.
Where did you guys get all your information?
We've posted a new section, About, that explains all about where the info came from, how we got started, and so on.
I heard that you guys got an email from him?
Yes, we did. You can read it here if you want to. We tried to get right back to him about making this site official, but got no response.
Can I have his email address, though?
No. You see, Gabe was on his dad's AOL account, he doesn't have an online account of his own. That was also the address he emailed us from. Some fans had seen him on AOL and began flooding his poor dad with fanmail, which didn't make him too happy from what we hear. Even if it hadn't annoyed his dad, we still don't have permission to give out the email address.
Can you give me more information about Newsies?
Well, this is a Gabriel site, not a Newsies site. You would probably be better off going to Newspaper Alley or another Newsies site for more information. Check out the Links section.
Do you guys have any more information on Gabe?
No. Any and all information is somewhere on this site. We never really understood why people ask us this. Why would we have information that we would withhold?
Can you please get some more pictures?
We do have links to other sites which have different pictures than the ones here. The ones we do have were taken from other sites, and we really don't want to do that any more since it is rather rude. We keep searching the web, but not much turns up, and neither of us has a Snappy to get the pictures off of the movies, so we're afraid you'll have to be content with what we have.
Why don't you guys ever respond to emails?
For the same reason it took us so long to rennovate this site. We were just so busy with school and trying to find colleges and so on, that we didn't even have time to get on the net or check our personal email addresses, much less the one for this site. Besides, look at some of the questions here. It's hard to dig through piles of emails from people wanting to know when Gabe's birthday is. *Hopefully* we'll be able to keep up more now.
Didn't there used to be a G.I.D. and a PenPals section to this page?
Yes, there was. However, the G.I.D. (Gabe Is Dead... a little fun we tried to have that was a takeoff of the Beatles Paul Is Dead rumour) didn't go over too well. We got just one too many emails saying "Gabe can't be dead! Please say he isn't dead!" even after we posted a disclaimer saying that it was all a joke *sigh* Not to mention all of those insulting letters we got. There was just a general lack of a sense of humor, and we got tired of dealing with it.
Ok, so what about the PenPals?
That was just getting too hard to keep up with. We still have it all saved, and one day we may go through it all and put it back up, but there just isn't the time right now, sorry.
While we're talking about the changes made, didn't the F.A.Q. used to be about Gabe?
Yep. We switched that all over to the Fast Facts. In order to give us a bit more time, we need to cut down on some of the emails, so that's where this section came from.
Is Gabe related to Matt Damon?
No. Damon is Gabe's stage name (it's actually his middle name). He went with Damon because he thinks it sounds better than his real last name, Ladaei.
I think that Gabe sucks and you two are a couple of brainless loosers!
Ok, that's nice, but, ummm, why did you come to this page then?
