Rural goodtimes at Daylesford ChillOut Festival!

Yee-yah! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to share the love at the I’m Awesome, Thanks! booth at Chillout Carnival Day in Daylesford!

The Hug-a-random movement enjoyed much success, and even though we ran out of stickers by the afternoon (you folks really do love hugging randoms!) the free hugs continued well into the evening. We loved sharing your insights into the need for an all-inclusive social network to connect the queer community, which is why we’re so glad to be bringing I’m Awesome, Thanks to you.

Thanks to all the folks who bought conversation starters (we almost sold out of awkward harmonicas completely) to help support this community project. If you missed out and would like to get your hands on an Intellectual Homosexual or Hi-5 if You’re Awesome singlet, or one of our new Awesome Free Hugs shirts, you can pick them up at our store for $25.

For those interested in hearing the podcast from Joy 94.9 FM, featuring an interview with our very own PixieGalore, we’ll be posting links in our next blog post. Thanks for the chillaxed vibe and all the great hugs! Don’t forget to Sign up and make yourself a profile so you can start connecting with other awesome people in the queer community.
