No matter where you are in the world tomorrow is the day when you have to grab the pillow from off your memory foam mattress and arm yourself ready for International Pillow Fight Day!
On Saturday April 7th 2012, cities all around the world will be hosting pillow fights and they are organised by The Urban Playground Movement who like to organise free, fun, suitable for anyone events for people to take part in. They want people to get away from their TV sets and celebrate their cities. Have a look at the Pillow Fight Day website to see if there is an event already organised for your city. If there isn’t, there are instructions on there for creating your own.
So how do these events work? You just simply turn up at the predetermined location armed with a hidden pillow. When the buzzer, air horn or shout goes out, everyone gets their pillow out and the fight begins. There are few rules and no objectives or time limits. You just swing and swing until the natural end of the pillow fight. The rules are simple safety ones such as only use soft pillows, don’t hit anyone without a pillow and don’t swing too hard. So that counts out using a memory foam pillow then!
