International Pillow Fight Day
Where: Green
When: 5:30 PM, Today,-Saturday April 2nd

Even when one is liberated by a free, creative, public event, it is still important that certain bad behavior like violence be minimized.

RULES

First, invite your friends, but remember:

+ Wait for the signal to begin
+ 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!
+ The event is free and appropriate for all ages.
+ Commit to self-policing(see below).
+ This event is more fun with feathers!", but:
+ Last rule:  Help Clean Up

Signal to begin: Baker Tower Bells

Ideally, the community will police itself if people become aggressive. Please respect the safety and fun of others.

People will make new friends, re-unite with old ones, and revel in the blissful one-ness of a free, fun, social gathering.

Cleaning Up
The ideal pillow fight would leave no trace of its occurrence. This is an ideal for which we should all strive. Bring rubber or vinyl gloves, trash bags and brooms, at the very least, and ask members of your community to do the same.

Rationale:
Imagine that in any large city, or anywhere on the face of the Earth, there may some day be free, fun, massive public events like pillow fights, creative interventions, games and interactive art installations on every day of the year. Imagine that no matter where you went, you could find these events and the fun-loving clan that clings to them. Imagine that in the future, we will be united by our drive to live free, fun public lives! That is the era dreamed of.
