Did you guys know today was International Pillow Fight Day?
Well neither did I, but it's a fairly well organized event where large groups of people get together and smack each other upside head with pillows.
Literally hundreds of cities across the world from Boise, Idaho to Warsaw, Poland took part in today's shenanigans.
The event is a part of The Urban Playground Movement.
On their website is a description:
About The Urban Playground Movement
All over the world, groups like us organize free, fun, all ages, non-commercial public events. From a massive Mobile Clubbing event in a London train station to a giant pillow fight near the Eiffel Tower in Paris to a subway party beneath the streets of Toronto, it is clear that the urban playground is growing around the world, leaving more public and more social cities in its wake. This is the urban playground movement, a playful part of the larger public space movement.
One of our goals is to make these 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. The result, we hope, will be 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 there you have it, maybe you can catch next year's event.
