How the show was Pitched to Paul Normandin:
Every year Paul Normandin, the nicest guy in the universe, organizes a Hug Day downtown. This show will be a tribute and a recreation of that. The idea couldn't be simpler, even if it is a little tricky to grasp. Here's Tim's pitch to Paul:
"Say you and others who were giving out hugs play while people are walking on stage from time to time to get or decline hugs. It could be neat to see the actual conversations that take place between hug times, as well as end with everyone in the audience."
The Perfect Free Fringe show.
How the show was performed
In front of an audience of friends and peers, in celebration and recognition of his 5th annual Hug Day, Paul was honored with a Texas State Flag, along with Certificates thanking him signed by the Governor of the State of Texas for his continued contribution and pursuit to bring more happiness and love to the City of Austin. Credit to Laramie Stroud for all his contributions and presenting Paul.
