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:
