Pillow Fight Toronto

Nathan Phillips Square @ 3:00 PM

Saturday, May 12th 2007

Rain date TBA. Free and all ages!

BYOP. Whack!

newmindspace seems to be coming up with the most interesting stuff. Their transit parties are quite the rage and the pillow fight in November was supposedly quite hype. Their latest endaevor was the Queen of Hearts project. The aim was to paint valentine day symbols, namely hearts, along both sidewalks on Queen St. between Yonge and Bathurst. Around a 6 km stretch. Despite not hiting the target, they did manage to cover a fair amount of distance. Considering Toronto hasn’t had any rain in the past couple of days, you may still be able to catch a glimpse of the artwork over at Queens St.

There is also some related Flickr tagging underway: Queen of hearts.

I just found out about this. Looks like an awesome rocking time. At Yonge and Dundas yesterday, Newmindspace had organized a giant pillow fight.

These were the rules.

Soft pillows only! Do not hit anyone who does not have a pillow. Do not hit people who are holding cameras. Swing lightly, there will be many people swinging at once! Remove expensive glasses beforehand. Extra pillows may come in handy. Feather pillows are even more fun. Do not begin until the signal (a referee whistle.) Forward this to fun people!

Pyjamas optional.

I wish I had known about this earlier. Anyway, pictures from the event are tagged on flickr with “pillowfight”.
