Tears in My Pillow

April 2nd, 2009 by cooper

My mid-day belch here, remin­ding you that April 4th is Inter­na­tio­nal Pillow Fight Day.

When I was at NYU the pillow fights were held at Union Square which until my final year, when I moved to SoHo, made it con­ve­nient to my dorm.This year, due to cons­truc­tion in Union Square, the green mar­ket is ope­ra­ting near the for­mer pillow fight area, and to pre­vent damage to the small busi­nes­ses the pillow fight has been moved to the ever ful­some Wall Street. How Sweet is that? Not to men­tion Bail out the People’s 2nd day of events is taking place at that loca­tion, their Natio­nal March On Wall Street is at 1PM, (the pillow fight is sche­du­led for 3PM). This is also the anni­ver­sary of Mar­tin Luther King’s assassination.

You can’t beat chance?

Check out the links at the site for a pillow fight near you, it’s going on from Mos­cow and Kra­kow to Christchurch and Santiago.

Should Be Famous has another poe­tic famer, MoJo has gra­ciously dona­ted a poem from his ear­lier days, so check it out, and don’t be shy about sub­mit­ting your own.

peace

    I think Dmi­tri Mar­tin put it best when he desc­ri­bed pillow fights:

    Man vs. Woman = Fun
    Man vs. Man = Gay
    Woman vs. Woman = Awe­some
    Man vs. Pillow = Crazy
    Pillow vs. Pillow = Crazy Awesome

    and
    Goose vs. Goose = A fight before they were pillows.

    Sounds like fun, the Wall Street one for sure, my son would love it. How many peo­ple take time out from work to go to a pillow fight? Maybe something like that should be man­da­tory every so often.
