Free Hugs at the Pride Parade

Unread postby nicolenice » 30 Jun 2008 09:10

I did free hugs at the pride parade yesterday. It was great so many people gave me hugs a few looked at me weird, but who cares. I went 2 hours early and it was a little slow in the begining but then picked up. But I wanted to actually watch the parade too, so we went to the railing and I held it over the side of it. Before the parade actually started, people were climbing threw the bars to run and give me a hug, it was so cute. And my friend Sandy was with me and she thought I was a little crazy at first but when they asked if she was doing it to she said yes and now she wants a free hugs shirt for next year. But the most awesome part was that people jumped off the floats to give me hugs. It was so much fun.

Glad it turned out well! :smile:

I had the same problem with not wanting to be touched by stranger but it is a good feeling especially when they say thanks I was having a bad day and that it made them feel better.

Yeah, that's probably why I would do that.
Just knowing I made someone feel better with just a hug..
It is a good feeling :p

I've done it once at an anime convention. It was cool.

^^^Yeah, I know what you mean.
But what the heck.
Hopefully that's a very small minority of people.

I'm going to pride in San Diego the weekend of my birthday.
I'm thinking of maybe following in your footsteps Nicole.
But I don't have a FREE HUGS tee yet.
I hardly ever wear white. I somehow always manage to stain. :laugh:
Hopefully we'll get a black short sleeve or tank soon!
