Pillow Fight 2009
Nothing says 'I hate Valentine's Day' like a massive pillow fight! Before you go out for a romantic dinner or lament about your single status, come to the Ferry Building for a giant and playful pillow fight. Rules of the game: 1) Tell everyone you know about PIllow Fight, 2) Tell everyone you know about Pillow Fight!, 3) Wait for the Ferry Building clock to strike 6:00pm, 4) Don't hit anyone without a pillow (unless they want it), 5) Don't hit anyone with a camera, 6) HAVE FUN!! If it rains, put your pillow in a plastic bag and only bring pillows made from natural materials and not synthetics, so we don't hurt any marine life in the Bay. Date: Sat. 2/14, Time: 6pm, Place: Justin Herman Plaza (Market & Embarcadero), Cover: no cover, More Info (EB)
