Event: Name Tag Day
Cost: FREE
Summary: Volunteers with the Awesome Foundation hand out thousands of name tags to New Yorkers so that we can say hi to each other by name as we pass each other on the side walk. What's not to love?
Pretty much, the summary says it all. What a fun idea. I got my name tag while I was out at the Howl Festival (post on that to come) and managed to say 'hi' to two other people. "Hi Terrance!" and "Hi Jenny!". This resulted in smiles and waves.
Then, as I was headed back to my apartment, I was at Starbucks near Union Square (one of the locations where name tags were being handed out) and just as I was leaving these two women were coming in and I heard one say to the other, "What's with all the name tags?" That also made me smile.
And finally, as I was headed across Union Square, I heard this, "Hi, Jill!" I turn and look and it's the person who gave me my name tag. How he remembered my name I have no idea. But we both waved at each other frantically. And I smiled the rest of the way to my apartment.
Thank you Awesome Foundation.
Just a couple pictures after the jump.
