Get ready for some great “boxing” action, the Cardboard Robot Rumble takes place this Saturday, June 2nd in San Francisco’s Dolores Park starting at 6pm.

Get your old cardboard robot costume from the 5th grade out of the closet add a little foam padding (maybe add a lot) and go to Dolores park in SF at 6 pm. This is like the pillow fight only with stupid cheesy (padded) cardboard robot costumes instead of pillows. Meet in Dolores park then be lead somewhere else.

Did mom throw your old mouse ridden robot costume thing out in 9th grade?…. no problem… show up a few hours early say … 3 ish. There will be cardboard and styrofoam there to wax creative robot-ish-ness with.

I just realized that pink robot picture is in the RISD quad in Providence.

SO I just want to give a shout out to everyone at RISD who is still making awesome robot costumes, and I hope the annual robot party will live forever!

Are the people involved in this former RISD pillowfighters? If so contact me as I am back in SF next month.

Screw cardboard robot costumes. Buy my metal robot costume on craigslist. Make me a good offer, trade me some tools, something.
