For some indefinable reason, the prospect of a Union Square-sized outdoors pillow fight this Saturday is sounding awfully tempting to me.

This quirky social gathering is a manifestation of Newmindspace, which is the brainchild of a couple of University of Toronto students named Lori and Kevin. I wonder if they’re aware of how closely their site logo resembles the Pac-Man reminiscent one for MySpace-wannabe MindSay…

So, should I join in on the pillow-swinging frivolity? There are worse ways to spend a weekend afternoon in Manhattan. I think I should buy a disposable pillow for this, though — don’t want to lug one around afterward. (Does that represent more preparation than something like this merits?)
