Pillow fight at Parc Lafontaine, Aug. 15
It was quite a bit more dry than my last pillow fight, but just as fun.

Organizers had wanted to do this “flash mob” style, which meant making it seem spontaneous and surprising passers-by. Except that there weren’t really any bystanders (all the people in the photo above were participants), and people would be just as interested whether it seemed spontaneous or not.

You are NOT allowed to use your SHOE in a pillow fight!
So, on your fun scale, how fun would you rate this fight? :)
Nice pics! Makes it almost seem as if I were there.
The fight was a bit too short for my liking, but I’d give it a Pretty Cool.
Perfect example of a slow news day
Day? There hasn’t been real news for months.
I liked the interview. I am your mother so I like anything about you.
Awwwww…
