All's Feathers in Love & Pillow Fighting: Annual Event Hits Pershing Square Saturday
Pillow Fight 2010 (Lindsay William-Ross/LAist)
Feathers will fly tomorrow during the annual melee of goofy, messy fun at Pershing Square for International Pillow Fight Day. The signal will sound at 2 p.m. and all hell--and pillow stuffing--will break loose for the traditional slumber party game turned community gathering that happens all over the world. Attendees are asked to bring a pillow, preferably feather-filled, and be ready to stick around after to clean up the mess. The rules are simple: Hit only people with pillows, and don't hit anyone with a camera. Oh, and have fun. That's pretty much the bottom line.
