- Outside of the Weisman Art Museum, hundreds of University of Minnesota students are wandering between classes, heads down, just trying to get through the week.
Meanwhile, a tall, thin man in metallic-blue pants, a mustard-colored sweater, and a necktie around his head is holding a sign that reads, "Bad Advice."
"Hey, do you want some bad advice?" he says to one passerby. She looks confused but intrigued. Skeptically, she agrees.
"Okay, first thing: Throw your backpack off the bridge. Then, call your parents and tell them you're quitting school," he says.
She laughs. He laughs. Then he holds up a sign that says, "Free Hugs." She gives him a hug without a second thought before hustling toward her next destination.
Meet Misha Estrin. He wants to be your friend.
A comedian, model, speed-friender, and all-around unique individual, Estrin can be easily spotted at events all over the Twin Cities, often sporting a full-body tiger costume and armed with a plethora of eye-catching, head-scratching signs saying anything from "Free Shrugs" to "Ignore Me."
But who is he, really?

- Make me your therapist. I will help you work through emotions until the world will have its way with you. Sessions starting at 5.99 and ending when you're too uncomfortable to stay. I is a reverse therapist which means I help others resolve their problems by allowing them to help me resolve mine. During a therapy session with me , you can expect to treat my emotional wounds and attempt giving me advice which I may or may not take. This will frustrate you to the point where you will realize how simple changing your own life is.
- People are important
- I now have patience for most things, not because I've become humble, but simply because I've reached a point in my life where I am not afraid to experience what displeases or hurts me. I have patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature because I believe that they will help me grow as a human being. I no longer see pain as something I need to avoid, but rather something I can appreciate the opportunity to learn from... I have the will to love those who do not love me, and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I have eternal happiness within, like sunshine, the rays of my happiness will strike you regardless of how much light you're emitting at the moment.
I will spend time on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided to coexist with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I tolerate and welcome selective erudition and academic arrogance. I get along perfectly fine with those who don't know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. I have patience for ALL people because everyone deserves my patience. - Why spend time trying to justify your reality when you could be busy building a new one
