Hugs-only at SXSW 2010


I’ve mentioned before that I don’t like shaking hands with people. In short, it’s stale and some men crush my hands. So, I prefer hugs.

The conversion from shaking to hugging hasn’t moved as quickly as I’d have liked it to, but it is moving.

Thus, I’ve decided I’m going to only be giving and accepting hugs at SXSW this year. (Watch my video about what I’ll be doing there.) When I told this to Rachel she said “What if people don’t want to be hugged?”. Well, if that’s the case, then cross your arms like the photo below and I’ll just start conversing with you rather than starting with a physical greeting.

Crossing arms

I hope to get/give LOTS of hugs, and don’t see any crosses (like the one above).

See you at Southby!

  • The first thing I thought of when I saw that picture was "NOOOOO DEEAAAL!"
  • Hahaahah! I know!
  • So what's wrong with fist knocking? Give a brother some dap.
  • Haha. Fist knocking is pretty cool. I still prefer hugs though.
