Next Saturday, April 3, is apparently International Pillow Fight Day. To celebrate there'll be a pillow fight flash mob at 8th and Ocean on South Beach.

As South Florida Daily Blog points out, attendants are asked to show up exactly at 3 p.m. and keep their pillows hidden until then. How exactly you hide a pillow on your person inconspicuously we'll never know. Then at three, a horn will blast, and a pillow fight will commence for exactly ten minutes. After that everyone will disperse. Participants are asked to go easy, and only fight with those who have pillows to defend themselves.
