Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!

BYOP(illow) to Pershing Square on Saturday afternoon, March 22nd because it's time to have some fun. It's World Pillow Fight Day and the LA Burners are hosting the downtown, transit accessible, event. And yes, there are rules:

  • Soft pillows only!
  • Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once.
  • Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras.
  • Remove glasses beforehand!
  • Wait until the signal to begin.

The event, which is more fun with feathers, is free and they say appropriate for all ages (no ass kickin' the wee little ones). Bored LA, who tipped us off to this event has a facebook page dedicated to the event.
