    First and foremost:
    FREE HUGS TO YOU ALL!
    Come and get one while you can!
    :)

    And second off-
    have any of you been in the city and seen a group of people holding signs, and you think its for some protest or something, but then you read the signs and they all say "FREE HUGS!" and to your surprise the people come up to you and offer you a hug???

    I was walking around Berlin and I was in front of Branderburger Tor (Gate) and I ran into a group of poeple giving out FREE HUGS.

    And I thought it was such a cool easy way to brighten up peoples days, I know it sure brightened my day up for me.

    Why don't we all start trying that out? Ive talked with freinds and we're going to go out and do that somewhere in Berlin soon, Im thinking next weekend. Its such a beuatiful way to spread good vibes and just put smiles on poeples faces.

    *Dylan gives you all a virtual hug.*

    Cheers and Love,
    Dylan

    Doesn't it just brighten your day? We have a Hug Brigade in Mpls. I think this idea really got popular after a video on youtube.

    haha i did this, my highschool has about 3000 students and i went out with my Free Hugs sign and got a lot of responses, bunch of different responses, but it was funny how many people wound up have the same reactions and act the same. it was great, i got some good positive feedback.

    heres a video on youtube which shows the Free Hugs Campaign. check it out :) much love and hugs to you all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4

    That was the best movie I have ever seen! The part where they got banned was sad though... :(

    This actually reminds me of something I have always wanted to do next time I go to some sort of big gathering (something like the rainbow family gathering, or Bonnaroo or something like that) is I want to "collect hugs" and get the signature of ever person I hug and see how many people I can hug in one day! That would be really fun, I think... Oh, the good vibes would be flowing!

    I have been in those types of hugs, but with far fewer people...

    I think it was Mary Tyler Moore, where their last episode ended with a group hug and they all needed a tissue, so they moved their hug to the tissue box? That is amazing...

    It's so cool that the 'free hugs' thing started in Sydney and is now happening all over the world! :)

    *Hugs everyone*

    It can be taken two ways, too. When the hugs were legal they were like The hugs are free! Then it was changed to "Free the hugs!" when they got banned...

    Why were they banned? Why would anyone even think of banning free hugs?
