Kevin Bracken from newmindspace — they think of themselves as “interactive public art, creative cultural interventions and urban bliss dissemination”; I just say they help make Accordion City a little more interesting — asked me if I could spread the word about Saturday’s pillow fight. I told him I’d be happy to! Here’s the official blurb:
Feathers fly and teddies soar as you converge for a giant urban pillow
fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a
soft pillow at 3 PM and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!
Costumes and funky pillows are encouraged. The gathering takes place at 3:00 p.m. this Saturday at Nathan Phillips Square. The event is free and all-ages, and a rain date will be announced.
Some ground rules to make the event enjoyable for all:
- Soft pillows only!
- Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once.
- Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras.
- Remove glasses beforehand!
- Wait until the signal to begin.
- Spectators welcome, but consider bringing a pillow
