So much nicer than wearing a trenchcoat and gunning down people in a shopping mall or school.
Make pillows, not bombs.
Exactly! We do things differently here in Vancouver. So, can we count you in?
It’s a long way to go for a pillow fight. And I’m allergic to feathers. However, from this post I wandered off and discovered Vancouver’s love of Zombie Walks – now that’s worth travelling for.
By the way, I came across a music video of Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver – just your thing, I thought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CetPq_pkHc
Ah yes, have had that for years. Well, who HASN’T had Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver, eh?
I can’t get to Vancouver, so I will have a pillow fight with my exersize bike at the appropriate time! Probably no pictures, the exersize bike will win!
I can’t wait to watch the Mounties pepper-spray the participants. Perhaps they’ll think it’s an attempt to smother Sam Sullivan? Then we’ll be subjected to a long series of expository articles on the dangers of pillows to justify the freakout.
I was thinking of attending, but I suspect I’m still banned after the little mishap with the brick last year. Disqualified, my ass–I won fair and square. Or oblong, as the case may be.
This year for our New York pillowfight (this Saturday) we are asking volunteers to clean up with brooms and trash bags afterwards. It would be good if this became the standard for pillow fights around the globe! :)
Metro is a hoot! I had the same pepper-spray concerns.
Anyway, I’m sure I would be immediately spotted as an islander and hauled off into a paddy wagon before the feathers even begin to fly.
Islanders are permitted to participate, but pillows stuffed with either old-growth moss or pot are not allowed. Oh, and they have this stupid rule about bricks …
Cleaning up…what a novel concept. I think that’s why they want feathers: more biodegradable than foam. But I shall put it out there for the others to consider.
Metro’s information is incorrect: lately, a brick would be encouraged and applauded. We’ve had quite enough of our malevolently passive mayor. And pillowcases full of pot are highly encouraged.
