Chad Vader Gives A Good Hug At Blogworld #bwe09 [VIDEO]

Hadji (aka @BlackCanseco on Twitter) captured this epic hug in my quest to reach 500 Blogworld hugs.

Chad’s hug was firm but hugging a 6 foot+ tall guy dressed like a Comic-Con Geek’s birthday wish / worst nightmare was a bit…different.

Blogworld Hugs Day 3

It’s been a busy 2 days at Blogworld!  I’ve been learning, sharing, hugging and getting great vibes!

I’ve reached 500 hugs! I’m at 421 hugs. This has been an amazing experience thanks to John Chow and the power of blogging. I was able to take an idea and run with it.  My goal of 500 hugs is very near and people are suggestion I do something to celebrate. What should that be?

I wore my “Free Hugs” shirts on Day 1 and Day 2.  People smiled, thanked me, took photos of us together and some shared their feelings about why they have felt uncomfortable with hugging as a human social interaction.

8 people said no to free hugs.  I asked each if they wanted to do a handshake instead and 4 said yes to a handshake. 2 changed their minds and hugged it it out with me later on!  (more on those folks later).

I was asked by 2 people if I had swine flu. I do not.

The goal of giving free hugs was to connect with bloggers. Most of my life on the internet I’ve lurked. This means I would visit forums and blogs but not participate. I felt shy and uncomfortable about people seeing me and hearing me. Blogging has opened up my life to where I’ve learned it’s okay to be honest, direct and real about my goals, desires and dreams.

Thank you!

Day One At Blogworld and Hug Count

First day at Blogworld rocked!  I gave out 105 hugs and got to meet so many interesting people!

If you see me, I will hug you!

I need your help to meet my goal!  If you see me, feel free to come up and hug me.  I want to try and capture every person’s blog or photos.  I will be giving away buttons to every 5th person who I hug it out with!
