In the article, one of the compliment guys writes, "I am just ecstatic that this little idea I had, that this random act of kindness, has blown up into such a big thing," Mr. Westcott said. "I'm having kids who are messaging me online asking me if they can start free compliments at their school." For the record, you don't need his permission, Mr. Westcott said." There is also a website about the Kodak Tour <a href="http://www.Brightside.com" rel="nofollow">Brightside.com</a>. I would visit the blog and get further inspiration. Then I say - just go for it. Maybe find a partner to join you and dive right in. good luck! Hi David,

Michigan Ave in Chicago on Sept 10th. What a fantastic idea. Then, at a church in downtown Columbus, Ohio, they had a banner with some compliments written by people inspired by these guys. I would like to start up a compliment booth in Columbus, Ohio. I hope their idea isn't copyrighted !! Any suggestions how to start one ? I saw the guys at a park on N.

Having grown up in the Midwest of the U.S. myself, I have to admit that there is a certain style of friendliness there that could be supporting the success of their efforts vs. the short experiment they tried in Times Square.

A couple of years ago I saw a guy in St. Mark's Place offering free insults! He had a queue! That's New York for ya! A long way from the fine folks in Indiana! God bless 'em!
