Crazy Crap The Pillow Fight's Off--But The Pillow Riot Is ON!!!

The bad news: Organizers of the mass pillow fight scheduled for Sunday in Centennial Park (not pictured here--this is Vancouver) have apparently gotten a clubbing from Metro Parks, which said the cushion-wielding hooligans would have to have a permit to pummel each other.
The exciting news: A spokesperson for the organizers, who call themselves The Optimist Manifesto, told the Scene's D. Patrick Rodgers on Nashville Cream that Metro police will be at the park Sunday to escort away any suspicious-looking character who shows up packing heat from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I know whatever takes place won't be at all dramatic, but the prospect of a full-on confrontation between feather-wielding commandos and cops with riot gear is just too cool to contemplate.
So if you're planning to show up anyway, ready to fluff, bring something capable of softening the impact of a riot baton.

We will meet at Centennial Park on Sunday at 5:30 to 6pm, gather in the field peacefully and together walk to another location to have the pillow fight. Please be respectful to the police officers, it is not them we are upset with. It is the Metro Parks staff. The police officer's are merely doing what they are told.

I cannot believe they decided not to show up because the Parks Department "told them" they needed a permit. As long as everyone cleans up, I don't understand what the problem is...
Anyway, we have a few great pictures online at http://www.musiccitysingles.net/ to check out...
