Downy Kombat

Just a quick news tidbit for you guys today. If you're in Blacksburg this Sunday, there's another Katrina/Rita benefit going on, but this one is pretty darn unique. Join Virginia Tech students, faculty, and staff - including Coach Beamer and Coach Greenberg - in staging the world's largest pillow fight in an effort to make the Guiness Book of World Records.

With the Drillfield being the most logical place for such a fight, I like our chances in breaking the record. We can hold a good bit of people on the field, as long as enough people hear about it. The story has made VT's main news page already. Here's a link to the PDF ad for the event, which hopefully is all over town by now. Like the ad says, the event is BYOP (of course).

What's even cooler is that the guy that's organizing this, Steve, was in a couple of my Creative Writing classes last year. Hey, I know that guy!

So, bring your pillow to the Drillfield at 2 PM on Sunday and bring at least a dollar to help out. Awesome.
