[123maggiedaniels]

you know...any one of us can do this on a weekend..when the weather's warm..grab a few friends..make some signs..pack a picnic lunch..and spend the day giving love to one another and spending it with good friends...just make sure someone brings a video camera...Start your own campaign..Nothing's stopping you!..Nothing's stopping me! ((((HUGS)))))

[stacyandseth08]

hugs from Tennessee

[calichris650]

Been there done that... Need to do it again =]

[AmandaXandO]

You know it! We've been gearing up for another in 2010.

[calichris650]

When/Where? I need to make it out there again, is there any way I can get more info?

[AmandaXandO]

no formal plan yet. will post a comment with the details when we do!

[mandarina89]

whats hugging on is SF? it's just hugging and that's it, not gay if that's what you think

[rdsideshow]

whats huggin on in S.F?

[VIPKINGsStalker]

nicely made video, guys. i've been watching these for a while and it's really inspiring.

[mkfreak360]

hey i was giving hugs at that spot yeterday!! =)

[Airbattleship]

I think it's so funny that they got Gavin Newsom, our Mayor 1:46

[SKSKallDAY]

this just brings a smile to my face seeing others happy.

[robdude5000]

Really like this idea. shame so many people jsut walk by, too busy to make somone happy.

some people suck tbh.

[PandasEatingPeople]

we all need hugs sometimes...

[chicklettes]

So beautiful!!! Wish I could've been there with my sign!!! For real, who doesn't love hugs?!

[slash291]

Thats just great! :) Im irish and that stuff doesnt happen here... yet! Going to SF in July can wait!

[mrh9394]

Great Vid.. Hugs from Detroit :)

[gonhop]

i wish i was there that day...i like like 40 minutes away from sf. what a wonderful movement.

[th25tina]

I would love to run into someone with a free hug sign...I would hug them so tight. wonderful, simple and so needed.

[SKSKallDAY]

[Plixitypl0x]

I really want to do this now. :)

[SKSKallDAY]

i kno exactly wat you mean!!

hugs from cali.

:D

[morrisseyfan64]

even the mayor...sweet!!

[skinnysociety]

I would love to do this, problem is, I'm a girl and I don't want a whole bunch of perverts all over me. But the girls in this video didn't have any problems it seems like, or did they? Because honestly I would love to do this, I just don't want to get raped in the process lol.

[SKSKallDAY]

haha very true nowadays lol

just make sure you do it with guy friends.

so if you get raped maybe they will too

=]

[totally jk lol]

[markmolina29]

wish its free hugs everyday....this is an awesome campaign! could be an alternative therapy for anything!!!!

[dolcevitausa]

kudos on spreading some much needed love in this world (from a native san franciscan)

[jimilove182]

THIS IS AMAZING!

it should be free hug day every day.

everyone needs a hug once in a while

peace.

[EmotionalMyopia]

I embraced someone with a free hugs sign a few weeks ago just off of Stockton and Market.

[misschewah]

THIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL

[hellosunx3shine008]

this is so cute. a little love can go a long way. :]

[jettmanas]

Great idea for people who have from little to no access to hugs. This can happen in a big city, and elsewhere.

Peace- from Oakland.

[xlyesterdaylx]

i saw free hugs person at 4th and market today at ross!!

[AmandaXandO]

Really? Were they alone? Did you hug them?

[anythingbunny]

this kinda gets ruined when fat loser emo kids do it as an attention stunt.

^

i was seconding that, i actually love hugs

^_^

[misschewah]

u guys hug like ya'll no eachther thats wat i want

[misschewah]

this is beautiful!!i want one

[ribbitribbitfrog]

WE CAN DO IT! WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

Love and peace to all.

[audiboiz]

While watching this, I felt such a warm smile. Just think, instead of a stranger cutting you in line, cutting you off in traffic, or any inconsiderate action, the stranger is giving you a hug. If that doesn't turn your day around, I don't know what could. Maybe The Beatles were on to something... All you need is love. Wow. What a concept.

[Misko88pa]

Long live PEOPLE and Red hot chili peppers!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[ma5one1]

the feel of human energy is great.

[glazanaprotiv]

Thank You!

[CanarySquadron]

Nice video.

But the fact that you used U2 kind of contradicts the purpose.

Since Bono thinks that he is God and owns the world.

[AmandaXandO]

Good point.  In fact last weekend in LA I learned that Bono is trying to build a 27,000 foot house in Malibu. The code limits builders to 5-10,000 sq. feet. Apparently he doesn't think the rules apply to him and he's fighting it in court. No hugging it out with him...

[CanarySquadron]

Just think of all of the starving African children that he is saving..

Because you know that everything that Bono does, saves an African child.

God, just makes you want to tear up..

Your U2 concert ticket.

If you would ever be brazen enough to spend money on one.

[goright23]

Cute idea. Too bad they aren't giving out common sense in SanFran...

[maffei1]

I second that. SF mistakes outcast culture for open-mindedness.

[welcome2mytube]

[jboatner]

thank you for this!!

[modesthouse]

i love this, it made me sad at the same time, I wish I could just hug someone and cry because of all the shit I've been through this year. adding to favorites.

[jld415650408]

i really like this video, it made me happy,with so much bad i have seen and been through this year i could use a hug!

[AmandaXandO]

I hope all your dreams come true in 2008! Hang in there.

[jld415650408]

thank you! i need all the luck i can get! happy new year to you and yours and i hope your dreams come true

[jld415650408]

i had a really bad year! i really could use a hug right about now!

[AmandaXandO]

Hugs!!!!! Give them away and they come back. It's amazing.  Do it!

[iloveyousj06]

only in san francisco.

i love my city

[MomSweeney]

Does a hug count if it's not from a stranger? Hugs to you cousin. Sharon

[AmandaXandO]

Hi Cousin Sharon!!!

Amazing. How did you find my video? Hugs and Merry Christmas.

[MomSweeney]

I got your parents' Christmas card today, was bored and decided to Google you! It sounds like San Francisco is working for you. Rick and I lived in Stockton for a while, but we're too mid-western conservative for that!!

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Love, Sharon

[KylieDelcon]

i love San Francisco.

[gruhs2]

From Peru, all latinamerican people hugs too!!! Thank You!!!!

[EvadCeivorus]

I'M IN THERE! 2min 35sec running in slow motion! Hurray San Fran.

[pinot101]

[tinefilm]
