Instruction #141: Hugging Piece
In honor of Paula Janet Young, Peter's mother, who passed away last Friday

Proposed by Peter BUOTTE, MFA Maine College of Art, Portland:
Hug as many people as you can in one day.
Ask each person for permission before doing.
Keep a total number of those accepting, and the total number of people refusing.

RESULTS 10/28/04:

Some comments from people hugged: "I really needed a hug today", "I have not been hugged in a long time", "What are you guys doing later tonight?", "I love hugs", "I'm from Poland and I saw this piece done in Warsaw.", "That was nice."
