I've been watching videos of these wonderful outdoor love fests called
"GLOMP CIRCLES " <3
People spin bottles in the middle of a huge circle and run over to hug whoever the bottle points to while at the same time doing some call n' answers of "guess what?" with the crowd.
This looks looks extremely fun. We should have this at Anime North! The free hugs line is tame as a bunny compared to this.
Let me show you a example of Sakura-Con 2010 glomp circle right here:

Sakura-Con had 18,000 attendees in in 2010, but they've been running the glomp circle for years now.
This is how the glomp circle looked like in 2008 with 13,600 attendees.

Come 'on, Anime North! Looking at the attendees trend, we're going to get 15,000-16,000 people this year. Let's bring the glomp circle to Anime North too!
Would you like to come play in a glomp circle?
Now I'm wondering, how do we physically start one and get everyone excited for it? Perhaps we can take a photoshoot group of an popular action anime, convince everyone from the people from the free hugs line and get a few peeps begin the circle with a few exciting "guess what"s?~ Ideas? Possible restrictions or legal hurdles to jump? I'd love to have your input!

Yeah, let's do this! In fact I'm going to help make it happen - I will PERSONALLY drive the bus downtown and get ten or twenty of the smelliest, most-in-need-of-a-hug street kids and make sure that they are part of all the glomping fun in a big way! Then we'll gather around the campfire and sing 'Kum By Ya' and then it will be time to do each other's hair and give each other makeovers and tell secrets about who we have crushes on.
And then, the Hells Angels will make their grand entrance.
Sheezus, people. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus.
