Preview to Free Hugs in LA

[nj1522]

Dear Ricky, I have just seen the video of the free hugs since France, you found the perfect music for this video...

I can say to you that I had tears in the eyes to see that people, strangers for you, come to make you an free hugs, the proof whom we are all in need of tenderness and hugs... Thank you for this movement which followed you to France...

[YeahIAmAwesomeSauce]

Bahaha. I like you.

And Hug me back!

[wantomek]

we did it too one night on a festival in Targu-Mures, Romania Actually others were doing it, but after a hug from them I joined in. It was a great feeling, but it's a scary thought to just go out in the city alone to do so, so i respect you for it! Big hug from Klausenburg!

[cazinha]

It is/was happening all around the world about that time(2006) I guess. I'm brazilian and I know a lot of people did it here, by that time I was in Taiwan and did it too, in a city called Taichung, I have a video too I think Ill upload it.

And you are so right it just give us happy feelings and smiles.

luvd your video

[itsokaytogetwet]

I am so trying this at work this weekend! How positive of you to do this, especially in LA.

[lefthandedlove]

I did it for a senior project around my school. First time we did it (we did it about 3 times overall) hardly anybody wanted hugs & called us weird names...by the end, I would put a lot of money saying that I've hugged damn near 2/3 of my high school's student body..It's amazing how much you enjoy it...I loved it. I wanna do it again.

[ErinFisher]

i wanna do it!!! yes!!! i wanna hug supericky!!! woot woot. bring on the hugs. OMG, who wants to join me?

[19guitargirl90]

I wanna do a free hugs campaign.

[LindaSue00]

[morning78]

A big hug from me to you; great job:)

[tonygem]

Wow I'm glad a watched this vid of you. You actually seem to be human after all, not some completely dumb uncaring guy. I did free hugs in my city too. It's amazing.

[luciacatz1]

nice one about the cat lady, hate to be in a battle of the wits with you

[archonjubael]

LOL!

[bookbank]

I am a forty-something Englishman complete with full-on stiff upper lip, but I have to say that the 'Free Hugs' video that you and Lisa made was one of the most uplifting things I have seen in a long time. It made me smile laugh and cry. Keep up the good work.

[CrystalandNikki]

I actually did the Free Hugs Campaign as well. =)

[masinindy]

I want a hug! :(

[archonjubael]

[scorpiovs]

This really makes you my hero, man. Really. It does.

[inujuju]

[insert a positive coment] lol, jk. I'm actuall really positive. People jsut don't get to know me to well to think that way. They think I'm just all violence. But I actually am really nice. Even ask my friends! I'll stand by them no matter what. And we did a 'Free huggs' thing at my friends b-day party. It was awsome!

[soruyo187]

Thank you, Ricky, for a beautiful description of what the Free Hug movement is all about. I loved the original of Juan Mann and this intro is perfect! I'm so glad you stepped out and took a chance. Wow! Really worth it, huh? Oh..I also loved you close-up comment on the "Cat Lady!" That was great! LOL

Peace,

Janet

[JimmyHook]

What's up Man? You're going to inspire me to do a Free Hugs Chicago now--or has Chicago been done already? If I do it, I'll have to do it indoors-getting cold! On second thought, if I do it in Lincoln Park, maybe people will give me hugs just to keep warm! Take care, man!

[supricky06]
