Hey hey!
Anyone heard of the magical online community called Couchsurfing?
A ton of my friends are Couchsurfers, and a while ago they brought me to an event hosted in Edinburgh called Edinburgh Rocks Again! '08
Frankly, it was the best weekend ofmy life and i met the most extraordinary and wonderful people and got to do the most random and funny things ive ever had the chance to do.
Here are a wee selection of images of me (dressed as a gorilla) and some of the activities we did with some explaination aswell
Enjoy the pics and if this sounds like something you like, then get onto the Couchsurfing website and sign up!
Free Hugs!
Free hugs are simple, you get a bit of cardbaord, write free hugs on it, and hang around edinburgh giving out free hugs, i got loads and over two dozen photos of my taken in this get up with other people around me

muchly fun!
The flying free hug:
Much like the tripple pike in olympic diving, only it ends up with the photographer's camera on the ground and a rather ashamed gorilla
The Free Huggers:
This is only about 1/3 of the peopledoing free hugs with us, we lost the resty around Edinburgh at some time or another,i may be in here somewhere...
The Cave:
No, not a badly directed hollywood movie, but a place where we had a big BBQ randomly underground, the smoke nearly killed most people!
This was the only good photo, the light was awful in the rest im afraid...
The Ceilidh:
We had our own Ceilidh in Prince's Gardens right beside the main street of Edinburgh (Princes Street) this particular dance is called Splitting the Willow, unfortunately we couldnt get a Piper to come play for us, but we just all sang along anyway
The Bigger Picture...
This is the biggest amount of Couchsurfers we got in one photograph, trust me, we where everywhere all the time...
Hope you enjoyed! May be able to find moreimagesfrom people when they finally upload them

if you do get onto CS then hunt me down on it! THE_EDINBURGH_GORILLA
