Hug A Vegetarian Day Was Phenomenal September 29, 2008

Posted by Pulin Modi | Permalink | Comments ( 13 ) | TrackBack

How was your Hug A Vegetarian Day? Mine was pretty great. I gave and got some real life hugs and sent e-hugs to friends and family. The day overall was an international success with tons of people signed up and reports coming in from all over the world! Some people have reported getting literally hundreds of hugs at school. Wow, and I thought I was friendly!

Since Hug A Vegetarian Day, I have been looking through a ridiculous number of photos from everyone! If you haven't already sent in your photos, please do it now using this form. We're going to put them all online on Flickr and give everyone on the Street Team 2,000 points for their nice work!

Here's a nice sample of photos which shows how creative, dedicated, and compassionate you all are. I am beyond impressed with the Street Team, so congratulations to everyone.

Oh and don't forget that the next annual International Hug A Vegetarian Day is on Friday, September 25, 2009. Mark your calendar!

We've already got some tricks up our sleeve for next year. For now, don't forget those photos!

I got one hug, from my friend Libby, but it was a very good hug...the rest of the people at school where weird about it. Silly Johnson County People.

I had a great hug a vegitarian day!
The only problem was, I just because a vegitarian last month so im kind of new to it, and this girl saw me giving out hugs and speaking about animal rights and totally verbally attacked me calling me a carnivorous liar! I could not believe her nerve!
