help me with the hugs?

March 3rd, 2010
Maybe this is not the place for it but...

I have a goal of getting 365 hugs for the year (one everyday) but I'm running out of people. Does anyone in the midwest need a hug? So far I have photos of two fellow 365ers. It would be nice to have more!

What an awesome project!

I'd love a hug, but alas, I'm in the UK. Long way to travel for a hug! :-)
March 4th, 2010
Okay, first I thought that you wanted us to send you pictures of us hugging someone (I was going to send a picture of my son and me), but now I get it. I'm maybe a little closer, Arizona, but I don't know what my husband would think of it. Great Idea for a project though.
March 4th, 2010
awww i love your project!! and i love hugs!!! come to ohio and give me a hug =D
March 4th, 2010
Sorry, not a midwesterner here... but contact me when you go visit family in FL!
March 4th, 2010
Come to California, I'll line up a whole bunch of hugs for you! Just don't come in the summer cuz then they would be sweaty hugs. Ick.
March 4th, 2010
sarah: I do have family in Toronto..
dora: I would loooove to come to Brazil... but yeah.
Rachel and April: Im coming this summer to California for a hug tour. My friend and myself are starting in Northern Cal and making our way down to the bottom... so I guess I'll keep you updated
Alison: UK... again... would love to come but not this year
Aleshia: where in FL do you live? I go to Naples at least once a year

and Erica: hmmm Ohio is very close!
March 4th, 2010
All right. And i am sure that some of my co workers at home depot just might let you hug them as well.
March 4th, 2010
Kiwis are big huggers I should know Im a kiwi too and would gladly be up for a hug if you should decide to come to Cambodia :)
March 4th, 2010
If you make it to Sheffield (UK) any point this year, you can have a hug, but I guess it's miles to travel. Good luck. Love the idea.
March 4th, 2010
Are you coming to Australia? I could organise hugs for you for a couple of months, maybe more :)
When i was small, my grandfather used to say this little ditty: "a hug delights and warms and charms, it must be why God gave us arms".
Happy hugging.
March 4th, 2010
I would love a hug but I am in South Georgia! We are all big huggers here in the south.. perhaps you should consider a southern tour?! Good Luck!!
March 4th, 2010
I want to go to all of these places. I wish airfare was cheaper or I was richer.
March 4th, 2010
same as everyone mate.. happy to help with the hugs, but i cant quite reach across the atlantic :)
March 4th, 2010
I know what you mean.. i would love to travel the world.. maybe one day.
March 4th, 2010
i love that we're from all over the world :)
March 4th, 2010
Hey Kiwi! When you come up to Cali to see Rachel and April, let me know. I live in Sacramento but work near Roseville! And I do love a good hug. You know it is good when you can't help but make a yummy sound! =)
March 4th, 2010
I would help! I'm in Chicago though, and I don't know if that's too far.
March 4th, 2010
I am running with Kiwi's idea (with his encouragement) and am going to attempt this project myself! I am a hugger by nature so why not run with it!?!? LOL! I am in California so nudge me if you want to make a date! =D
March 4th, 2010
Hey, Sarah's got the right idea. I think you'd get quite a few of us if you'd come to Chicago! I know three of us 365er's work right here in the same office in the Loop (across from the Sears (excuse, me...Willis) Tower! ) Group hug, anyone?
March 4th, 2010
sweet! I'll let you know when I return to Chicago Sue and Sarah!
March 5th, 2010
i'm in San Jose, Ca so if you find yourself here hit me up! i love your project!
have you thought of like, looking for hugs from strangers at the mall or at public events?
March 5th, 2010
Oh, this is so cute! I'm on the other side of the Atlantic though! :(
March 6th, 2010
s an awesome idea! I'm from the UK, again, i could get you millions of hugs if you came here xD
March 6th, 2010
hug a doggie!! or a kitty! hug animals!
March 6th, 2010
noooo. No animals... just people. It's part of my rules.
March 6th, 2010
is michigan within huggable distance?
March 6th, 2010
pssshhh fiiine... IL right here
March 6th, 2010
I'm also in Chicago if you're here for a few days!
March 7th, 2010
I'm in New Mexico -- lots of huggers here!
March 7th, 2010
so... not sure when I'll return to Chicago but it seems like there are a lot of willing huggers there. It's kind of hard to keep track of everyone at this point. You can add me on facebook because they have a better way sending things to email.

My name is Kiwi Michael Pierguidi on facebook.

and California plans are being made!
March 7th, 2010
I live with another photographer that posts to this site, and do you think we have ever even thought of a hug!????
March 8th, 2010
indiana, right here, and i love hugs. =D
March 8th, 2010
Kiwi - to answer your question: I live off of interstate I10 in the Panhandle, near Tallahassee :) - So, if you are driving and you take I10 to 75, then you are probably golden!
March 8th, 2010
Kiwi - i use to live in Indiana, but i am now in Cali.... so when you make it to SF California, let me know!!!

you can hug me and my daughter :o) what a fun project!
March 8th, 2010

March 9th, 2010

His hugs work like a good luck charm...so get your hug appointment with him!
March 9th, 2010

March 9th, 2010
I love you Dani!!!! and my friend and myself are planing some 3 day trips to Chicago... so I'll let people in order when I'm coming.
