Hey, I'm glad to see this is still alive and well in my old stomping grounds. I did a free hugs day on high street a long time ago. Only I approached people and asked if they would like a hug, and it was really interesting. I had a homeless man approach me and I gave him a hug, and even though he smelled horrible it was worth it. I then watched him walk down the block to another homeless man and he stood the other homeless man up and gave him a hug. Truly an amazing experience. Good job guys!
Get a petition! The first free hugs guy, Juan Mann, got shut down by the cops too...so he got petitions sent around in the city, he got over 10,000 signatures and the city was forced to allow him to continue his Free Hugs Campaign. I'll support you! XD
OMG I can't believe someone called the cops on you. Some friends of mine are gonna do a Free Hugs at Comfest in Columbus. Will send you the details. I don't think we'll have any problem at Comfest. Been doing it there for 3 years and no problems so far. Many hugs guys.
im from southeast ohio, im thinking of starting in the z-ville area, and those those ppl are all debating whether or not to hug ppl too many ohioans are hesitant about too many things
Hey. Come back to easton town center,i was over there just yesterday. I'm like 10 minutes away. :) We can all go out for the campaign. gets pretty boring around here.
omg me and my frinns did this in columbus too but we got kicked out of westland mall and the rent-a-cop's boss took my camera and deleted my vid. but the rent-a-cop did give all of us a hug b4 we left. =}
I did a campaign with a friend in Kansas City, MO a couple weeks ago... It was amazing. I got hugs from people 5 to 85.
Free Hugs in the US in Dallas, TX at Southern Methodist Uni - March 13-14/09 during the FIRST Robotics Competition! Free admission to public. Come support the youth's interest and discovery of science, technology, AND humanity.
When we took a break, I left my sign in an arena, crossed the arena, and the only thing in the crowd that caught my eye was the "Free Hugs" sign!
CRAP! I accidentally just removed someones comment. I'm sorry, I meant to tell you that it's awesome that you're inspired by this. It's great, I really wish I could find more time for it.
:( i wish i lived in columbus to give you a hug..... maybe you can come to cincinnati? i keep trying to get my friends to do that with me but they wont :( my friends stink
You guys rock. One has to try really really hard to NOT smile while watching this but...why would anyone want to? :) Oo did you offer the cop a hug at least? He looked like he needed one.
actually, yeah, i did. he thought I was being a smartaleck. I honestly was wondering if he wanted a hug though, he really did look like he needed one.
LOL @ code 2
