Looks like the pillow fight is now annual on Valentine’s Day. From the organizers of the 2013 event:

We did it twice! Now its a tradition!

This event was inspired by the thousands-strong “Anti-Valentines Day Pillowfight” they have in San Francisco every year. One of my favorite experiences in that city 🙂 Just another way to have fun and protest the commercialization of human relationships!

Also, remember no feather pillows! Also, take your glasses off before the fight or they’ll get knocked off your head. 😎

This year’s Annual Anti-Valentine’s Day Pillow Fight is at 5:30 p.m. at Pritchard Park. Facebook event here.
