Saturday April 3rd 2010, there were massive pillow fights in cities around the world!
The rules for this pillow fight were pretty straight forward:
1. Bring a pillow, a soft one, preferred.
2. Don't hit anyone without a pillow.
3. If you are wearing glasses, make sure you take them off.
4. Don't hit people with cameras.
5. No feathered pillows (preferably).
6. Go all out!
