11 people joined Julian Hughes for a pint on Valentines Day 2006, at Nottingham’s Blood Donation Centre.

8 Pints of blood were donated
3 Participants were unable to donate.
1 Person sat and waited for her boyfriend.

Questions and dilemmas.

‘I wasn’t sure if it was an art event’
‘Do you actually give blood?’
‘I’m very squeamish’
‘I don’t think I can in my condition’
‘I have a phobia of needles’
‘I am working that night’
‘Won’t you be spending the evening with your girlfriend?’
‘Oh, I’ve heard about that….’
‘I am very interested in Julian's work, but I am in Glasgow when it happens.’

Thank you to all the staff at Nottinghams Castle Boulavard Donor centre.
