Mission 10 - Walk with me?



I made my little ad for a walking companion and got them copied at Kinkos. Then this afternoon, while walking around Las Olas, I stuck them on cars and taped them up in random little places, like in the middle of a tunnel. While putting them on cars in a parking lot, I was stopped by a security guard. He told me that advertisements were not allowed. I told him it was not an advertisement, just a little note. He asked to see it, and I felt immediately self-conscious. He looked at the note for a whole minute, then looked at me like I am crazy. We talked for a little while, about what I am doing and what I hope to get out of it. We talked about my future plans for some of the larger missions I am working on, and what I plan to do if someone wants to go on a walk with me. He was worried for my safety, and told me never to go on a walk alone. I told him that I didn’t think anyone would really want to go on a walk, but I am hoping they do. While talking to him, a car drove by with a family inside. Their window was down, and my friend Mr. Blackburn the security officer stopped them, then had me give them a sheet. The man didn’t even open it, he was already looking at me like I was crazy. The security guard took my flier with him, and I told him to let me know if he wants to take a walk sometime. “Probably not…” haha. He does have the link to this page though. So, Mr. Blackburn, if you are reading this: Hello. Thank you for letting me post my silly little notes.

Each mission that I completed today involved someone else. The security guard. The barista. The woman in the pink dress. I hope these missions continue to affect other people.

I have about 50 fliers left that I will give out and put up in Jacksonville next week.

Did you see my post it, my dollar bills, or did you get a note from me, asking to take a walk sometime? Let me know.

Want to go on a walk? Email WalkWithKate@gmail.com and let me know.
