The Free Hugs Campaign is a great movement. It is very inspiring of how it has traveled worldwide. Hugs are very healing in itself. I would love to see my song "Safe To Smile" be used for one of these Free Hugs videos because the song fits perfectly with its message.
Feel free to check out my music video for "Safe To Smile" here on You Tube. Hugs to all of you. (-:
You may not like it...you may not agree with it, but Austin has a spirit and a soul that no other place in Texas can even begin to approach. Live Music Capital of the Universe, sunny blue skies, Texas Longhorns, El Arroyo, Schlotzkeys, Greenbelt, Lake Travis...I would rather die than live anywhere else.
My hippie boyfriend and I do Free Hugs every First Thursday on South Congress in front of Allens Boots. Please join us! Sometimes the Couch Surfers join us. It's a blast!
Actually, me and my friends did it down at Kemah a few months ago! The police stopped us and everybody at Kemah got in their faces. The owner of Kemah came down and met us, an said it was okay for us to do Free Hugs. It was so cool.
austin rocks. it's not my home town, but i've lived here for more than half my life. i've seen this video before, but never posted comments. it's cool.
It's not your hometown but it is your home now. If you leave it will cause the same longing as your hometown did/does. I feel Austin in my Heart and Western New York in my blood 24/7 365 days a year. It's a good thing.
Man, I miss Austin. Cool to see that Austin and the "Drag" are still weird--stay that way! I wonder if City Council ever fixed the potholes and if the Barton Creek Salamander was ever saved? hmmmmm....FYI: best time to have lived in Austin was early to mid 90's.
Come back and you'll find out the best time to ever live in Austin is now. Just like it was in the 70's, the 80's and all of the 90's. There's just a lot more of it now. That's all.
Well, I've got mixed feelings about Austin. It's like the relative whom you hardly see, but then after spending a whole holiday with him/her, you get a little uhmmm...
more people need to do this. i mean if you have a weekend to do nothing why not go downtown and continue the free hugs campaign. You never know how much someone may need a hug.
This is so cool! ^^ I actually live there, too, and have been wanting to do something like this for a long time now. It's really good to see that the Free Hugs campaign has been kept going.
Wow, this moved me so much. I recognised so many of the people in this video- Sonya, Johnna, Laura, Micheal, and Sasha... all people really trying to live a life where they really love people. They're all such kind and beautiful souls. Thank you for the video!
This one warms my heart and I hope these girls continue finding creative ways to bring meaning to their lives and to the lives of others....don't we really need some?
I live in Austin too! I need to go downtown and look for Free Hugs now. =3 That or go down one weekend and do it myself. It's the perfect city for it.
GREAT video. Austin is one of the best places to do Free Hugs. I live in Austin and I've been meaning to look into doing a Free Hugs day myself. Any coming up?
hugs from mexico....maybe i will move to austin!...lol but wait...my family is very educated,clean and worker! ,what do you think i will move from mexico to USA the greates country in the world???
