On Saturday April 2, there will be massive pillow fights in cities worldwide! If you are in the NOVA/DC area this weekend, head over to the National Mall for an experience not to be missed. International Pillow Fight Day DC 2011 will be hosted by Capital Improv, as part of the the Urban Playground Movement- a group dedicated to organizing free, fun, for all ages, public events.
You may be thinking to yourself, "Why? What is the point of hundreds of people gathering together to hit each other with pillows?" Well, the Urban Playground Movement creates such gatherings in the hopes of making 'these unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social consumption experiences like watching television, and consciously celebrating public spaces in our cities as our “urban living rooms.”'

Saturday, April 2 · 2:00pm – 5:00pm
The National Mall – Washington D.C. on the block closest to the capitol. The first pillow fight will break out @ 2pm somewhere near the Capitol Fountain. Gather with your pillow hidden and act like you’re just out there to enjoy the day. A couple of our group members will get into a fake yelling match to start the first fight – only join after you see them pull out pillows. After 15 minutes of pillow fighting, we’ll move to DuPont Circle for more fights and events!
