The day was Saturday, April 22nd 2006, the time was 2:05PM. Many a tourist and shopper were quietly wondering the streets of downtown Seattle. Suddenly, with the blow of a whistle, chaos ensued. Pillows appeared from shopping bags, backpacks, and even a guitar case. Pillow in hand, these feather flinging assassins descended upon each other with a vengeance. Woman pulled their children out of the way, innocent by-standards leaped to safety and security smiled knowing they were not involved. The pounding continued for several minutes among a tumult of feathers and fabric, the participants fighting for breath. Finally, after the crowd started to wear down (5 minutes) the whistle was again blown and the crowd dispersed, pillows returning to their concealing bags. Several of these warriors were heard whistling as the disappeared into the crowd. Feathers, like the blood of angels, was all that remained to tell of this tremendous event in history.
