hugs from oak park!

[lilmellen]

Sweet! Can't beat that price! Generally I end up paying 2.50$ per hug, but since inflation, OY! I don't even want to be reminded how much hugs have gone up since 1998.

[Insightmind1]

[drummerdave10]

Were these the same free hug people down near Old Town and The Hancock?

[richdiet]

Several groups have done it at the Watertower near the Hancock... so yeah, we were there too, but so were some others :)

[monumentfloyd]

This is right interesting. I'm not a hugging person, but thats nice that they get it for free and don't have to pay for it.

Cool man

[Snuffles10155]

hey guys, i tried out the free hug thing at our school ceilidh last night,it was awesome - check my youtube blog about it

[TheOriginalEntz]

take the video down. You are not allowed to take pictures of movies of "the bean" I dont agree with it but people have been sued for it.

[richdiet]

Thanks Entz, but it's not necessary... they reversed their position on that and now only require permits for "large scale" photo or video shoots. Google "Millenium Park Photo/Video Permits" for more info.

[TheOriginalEntz]

Hehe thats good news! Thanks for informing me, I did not know of this new development! :). Live long freedom!

*Free Hugs for all

[Snuffles10155]

great work guys,im planning to do one as soon as i can get some signs made up :P and at least someone else whos brave enough to join me haaha.

[richdiet]

Fantastique! Go for it - I highly recommend it as a group activity, too. It's really amazing what can happen and how it makes you feel.

[hypershrimp]

I feel like doing this in toronto!. what song is that?

[richdiet]

Cool... I grew up near Ottawa! Google "DJ Earworm" - the song is a mashup by him of a bunch of stuff. It's in a link on the left of his site.

[supergirl220993]

[Jbaker8390]

[AnhKiaa]

[cckiki]

This is Christina. Thanks for all the hugs - They made my day, my week and beyond. I'm still beaming from the experience and everytime I view this clip a HUGE smile emerges on my face all over again. And thank you, Richard, for sharing in this experience with me. You radiate sunshine! And thanks, Jeff, for lending a camera hand. I treasure this video. I love you both!

[smokewilliams]
