At 12:00 AM this morning, right on time as promised, the location for PILLOWLANDO MMXI was revealed!
This year, the battle will take place at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Site at the corner of S. Orange Ave. and W. South St. in Downtown Orlando! http://j.mp/pmmxi_map (Google Maps).
Assuming that the Center has its groundbreaking sometime soon, this location will be made inaccessible for the next 2-3 years, so let’s send it off properly – with a massive urban pillow fight!
Be sure to check the Facebook Event Page (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=190668957629271) for details on directions to the location and to refresh yourselves on the rules, which are as simple as always.
If you’re on Twitter, make sure to @DrPhillipsCtr before, during or after the event. Foursquarers, you can check in here:http://foursquare.com/venue/12690110
Also! Make sure you don’t arrive more than a few minutes early and wait for the signal, which remains… “Pillow fight!”
See you all very soon.
