Pillow fight!
Austin is in town this week. I picked him up at the airport. Then he, Ben and I grabbed dinner before the evening's grand event: Pillow fight!
I read about it online, and rounded up pillows for the three of us. We got to Pioneer Courthouse Square about half an hour late, but it was OK. The battle was in full swing.
More than 200 feather-coated people of all ages -- some in strange costumes, others in hipster gear, pajamas, suits and work clothes -- were wacking one other with different levels of aggression and enthusiasm.
I was the pillow fight fairy -- prancing around with my flowing green skirt and lightly tapping people as I danced through the crowd. Austin was more aggressive, eventually winning surrender from a karate fighter in a wig. Ben entered the fray briefly, but prefered to experience the whole event as an observer rather than a participant.
None of us brought cameras, but I've found pictures here, here and here.
It was awesome. Friggin' awesome.

Sounds like fun! I'm stuck in limbo for another few hours, but found some downtime to catch up on the Washington Post....I found this article with recipes I thought you'd like! Plus, I just found the concept cute!
