Found the following blog post on a recently created blog that calls itself Montpelier Pillow Fight!!! — a public pillow fight for you and your friends — blogged by bloggers named Nadia and Caroline, yet featuring just one lone and brief post thus far (here):

Where: State House Lawn, Montpelier, Vermont

When: Saturday, July 28th 2007, 3:00 PM (listen for the signal)

Who: anyone and everyone

What: massive, public, free mayhem

Thus, at least if this is for real, it seems the gauntlet has been thrown down.

Does anyone know anything about this particular upcoming event?

An example of such an event can be viewed in this brief video clip of a public pillow fight held earlier this year in New York City (NYC) as well as yet a different and longer video following it:
