Portland Pillow Fight

Pillow Fight

It’s the meme that just keeps giving. Looks like Portland is the next destination for a Pillow Fight. Pillow Fighters are requested to meet at Pioneer Square this Friday, March 3rd starting at 7pm.

Here at Laughing Squid, we are committed to bringing you all of the latest Pillow Fight news from around the globe, that is at least until we get tired on reporting on all of this silliness.

An interesting side note, there has been a raging battle on Wikipedia about Pillow Fight. First there was a call for deletion. Now they have decided to change the name from “Pillow Fight Club” to “Pillow Fight Flash Mob”. First rule of Pillow Fight: don’t talk argue it on Wikipedia!

Can you make something like this happen in Minneapolis? It’s getting way too conservative here…

Oh, no-no-no-no-NO!

Can YOU make something like this happen in Minneapolis!

I posted a very clear set of instructions for instigating a pillow fight in your home town on the original announcement of the SF PF.

The only thing that seems requisite that I don’t think I was clear about in that post is that you need about 2 weeks of lead time.

Good luck, and don’t forget the first rule!

the wikipedia distinction was good because some groups like ourselves (new york & toronto pillowfights ala newmindspace) do not choose to adopt the name “club”. they are pillow fights, plain and simple, and we already have a club! :)

When is the 2009 PDX Pillow fight?!?! I’m a student down at UO and a few of us want to do a great multimedia/photo piece on it! AND hit people with pillows!

Is there a date set for 2009?!
