2PM TODAY PILLOW FIGHT @ 2ND STREET CROSSING ON THE DOWNTOWN MALL

Be there, or else!

The rules:

  • Soft pillows only.
  • Swing lightly—many people will be swinging at once.
  • Do not swing at people without pillows.
  • Do not swing at people with cameras.
  • Remove glasses beforehand (more of a recommendation really).
  • The event is free and appropriate for all ages.
  • Wait until the signal to begin.
  • Non-synthetic pillows are better, in case stuff goes flying everywhere.

    #3. why can you not hit a whiner?

    /or did you mean “if someone is holding a glass of wine…”?

    If you hit a whiner, they’ll whine even more. And louder. If you bring a glass of wine to a PillowFight instead of a space bag, I don’t know what to tell you.

    is a space bag like a space cake?

    A space bag is the mylar bladder in a box of wine. They are quite horkable.

    I’m at the Mudhouse, and someone just walked in with pillow in hand! She didn’t know where the fun is to happen, so I steered her in the right direction. :) Only 22 minutes left! Be there or be square!

    it happened. About 10-15 pillow folk with lots of onlookers and a couple of folks saying - I ess you not - “c’mon you kids, knock it off!” We had a nice balance of highschoolers and late 20’s/early 30’s-ers there.

    And it was right in front of Christian’s. Sorry if the earlier post was misleading. We had a recon team up at the second street by Zo Ca Lo, but no folks with pillows there.

    Pics to come soon.

    After the feathery fun was over, I met a villain on the mall. He said “Glad to see you at the cafeteria last night.” When I asked who he was, he refused to tell me. No fair, I say! (I think it was Thor)

    YES! The cinematography and camera play is amazing. Such skill. The mystery man with the red backpack is one to watch out for. His pillow was filled up with oranges and Wii remotes.

    @23, yeah, it seems like that happens a lot. When you have a site whose name is frequently mis-spelled it makes sense to register the possible mis-spellings and redirect people to the actual site (SpicyBear has registered “c-villain.com” for example for just that purpose, I would assume) but “cvillian.com” is registered to someone in Front Royal who hasn’t done anything with it (since 2005). I’m sure some of the smart folks at SpicyBear have gotten in contact with him, so maybe mis-spellings like that won’t matter so much in the future (the pub crawl ad on 106.1 sounded like cvillian too!)
    [when I first heard about this site I tried cvillienne, thinking they were playing off Washingtonienne, the D.C. gossip blog]
    Or maybe Dave McNair is dyslexic?

    Why, oh why did I miss this?! My entire world is crushed. I am going to have to have a slumber party with girls, panties (red), and pillows. Oh, yes it will be all that can make up for my loss.
