Want to join me in a random act of kindness?

You can join me if you'd like.

Here's the deal. Tomorrow, Saturday, January 22, 2011, I'm going to appear at 3:00 p.m. at some heavily trafficked location with at least a hundred bucks worth of balloons. I'm then going to give them away to people who walk by. If they ask why, I'll say whatever comes to mind, maybe "Just because," or perhaps, "Because balloons make people happy."

If you want to join me, email me--directly if you have my address, otherwise via the
I don't have enough blog readers to call this a flash mob, and I know those are oh so very yesterday, so I'm just planning to do it on my own. If you want to join me, though, I'd be happy to have the company, so email me.

I'm hoping to make some people happy.
