Who knew that there was such a thing as "International Pillow Fight Day?!?" I sure didn't know about it! Well, just so you are all aware, Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 was International Pillow Fight Day. I don't think that anywhere in Maine participated in this event. But boy I sure wish we had!
As part of the 'Urban Playground Movement', the goal is to make unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social, branded consumption experiences like watching television, and consciously rejecting the blight on our cities caused by the endless creep of advertising into public space.
This is all done in the hopes that it will result in a global community of participants, not consumers, in a world where people are constantly organizing and attending these happenings in every major city in the world.
So next year, I want to make this happen!! How many of y'all are with me?! There will be few rules:
1. Hide your pillow until the fight begins
2. Don't make it obvious that you are there waiting for the fight to begin, sit in your car, pretend you are waiting for the bus, whatever floats your boat.
3. ONLY soft pillows!
4. Swing lightly! (C'mon no one wants to get HURT - we just wanna have fun!)
Yeah! I can just see this happening now! :) I'm laughing just thinking about it!
