How do you start a Pillow Fight Club in your own city? Rochester, NY desperately, desperately needs this.

Sorry to burst the pillowlicios bubble, but there’s already been one in the US. Right here in Flint… there weren’t even any knives or cops either.

Alas, I do not have a pillow: just this pillowcase full of grapefruit and bars of soap!

Please bring only pillows filled with plant materials (like cotton, hemp), not animal byproducts (like down) or synethetics which will wash into the Bay and harm marine life, thank you.

How to host a Pillow Fight:
1) Live in a city w/ enough of a freak-friendly demographic for the thing to fly, and hopefully self-propagate, as this one has.
2) Pick a suitable venue; you want an open space in a central location to make it convenient for a large number of people to get to.
3) Write the rules (starting time/signal is the only unique element to this), and collect some links and images from other pillow fights so people will know *what* in addition to where and when.
4) Apply the first rule of Pillow Fight.
Which is to say, all it really takes is a few web posts. If you hustle, you might still be able to get the word out for V-Day in your town.

I hope some young ladies show up in lingerie. It isn’t a pillow fight unless at least some of the participants are in bras and undies.

whoever made the comment about filling a pillowcase with bars of soap is an asshole.
there was actually a little-known pillowfight in san jose the other month. not many people are aware of this.

Are there any women interested in a flash mob oral sex event?
We are 7 HUNG smart creative educated nice guys. I am the organizer and I can even quote Camus. For instance…
“life is the sum of your choices” — camus

The air was thick as a blizzard with feathers. I inhaled so many that I’m still feeling a little down in the mouth.

I wouldn’t want to be hit with a camera. Good thing that’s in the rules.
On that note, I’m bringing a camera.
