free hugs in scotland

Unread postby paulmason » 21 Mar 2010 10:23

yesterday i decided to do a free hugs campaign in stirling in scotland, at first it was rather slow but i met friends and they all hugged me and a few joined in with thier own signs aswell, because of this more strangers felt less awkward to approach us for a hug and a few people asked about why and how this started. i had my picture taken with people and a few people offered me money, thinking it was for charity :biggrin: but i turned down there offer, telling them that they were for free :smile:

anyway at the train station i met a group of people that asked about the story and how it started. i told them all about juan mann and why he did it and how sick puppies helped make it famous. Then they told me they were in a band called "communicator" and they had a gig later that night at an australian bar called the "outback" (i felt amazing, cause that my favourite pub). They wanted me and my friend to come along and give out free hugs while they were playing and we also gave them a sign. half way through theyre gig they held up the sign and told everyone about the free hugs campaign and explained that they fully support it and think its great and encouraged more people to loosen up and have a hug. then me and my friend were invited up to hug all the band members.

it was great, we eventually reached the point where people were telling us theyve already had a hug. so im pretty sure its safe to say that we hugged every willing person in the outback (more than once :laugh: )

theyre was also a man taking videos and pictures of the band, and they also took a picture of just us huggin people :smile:. he said hes gonna put them on youtube, but im not sure what his name is or anything :oops:

unfortunatley i dont have any evidence to recieve my points, but i still felt inclined to share this story with you, cause i had such a great time. and if i do find any pictures or videos of us or the band, il be sure to post them :)
