Recession Aggression: Take It Out On Your Pillow

Does the idea of beating up total strangers get you going? This weekend, if you’ve got nothing better to do (and maybe even if you DO have something better to do), head over to Centennial Park, where – at latest superofficialFacebookcount – almost 800 people have RSVPed to beat each other silly… With pillows. We missed the first giant pillow fight last September, but from the looks of the videos and photos, it was pretty intense.

Check the Facebook event for more details. Show up with a pillow a little before 6pm on Sunday, March 22, at Centennial park in front of the Parthenon. Just look for the 800 people with pillows.

UPDATE [3/20, 2pm]: Metro PD has pulled the plug on the pillow fight because the organizers didn’t have a permit, so don’t show up unless you want to be escorted out by Metro’s finest. :(

  • Pillow fight actually turned out to be pretty cool. 4 Metro Parks Police cruisers showed up donning their lights and sirens, but more feather-flying ensued. Check out some pictures on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/36543119@N08

    I am still going! I mean this is supposed to be optimistic!

    Isn't that what it's about. I'm not saying "let's go get arrested!"

    but, can't we at least wave our pillows in the air and have a parade?

    This can't end just because of a unaffordable 500$ permit!
  • Well I'll lead the charge to take pictures of the pillow rebellers.

    Who cleans up after this and who pays for it?
  • You'll notice in the Facebook event that they ask participants to bring trash bags and plan on staying to clean up.
  • See you there. That's not sarcasm. We call it joy.
