Awesome new project from Newmindspace and Jason Eppink!

The Spoiler Alert signs warn waiting riders of this potentially unwanted information — allowing them to avert their eyes so they may preserve their spirit of adventure — while still leaving visible the data for travelers who wish to ruin the surprise for themselves.

From Newmindspace:

Perhaps our most requested Toronto event in New York, we are pleased to finally be able to bring the Dayglo Lightsaber Battle to New York City! Thanks to the help of the New York University Program Board.

3,000 blacklight-reactive, meter-long cardboard tubes will be distributed in Washington Square’s Teen Plaza, where there will be massive blacklight cannons aimed at the crowd! Wear black, neon or both. The battle will continue until every tube is destroyed!

Saturday, April 25th 2009
Washington Square Park SE corner
8:15 PM – 9:15 PM
Free and all ages!

World Pillow Fight Day is Saturday

World Pillow Fight Day is Saturday. Check out their site for a list of cities participating around the world. The New York event, organized by Newmindspace, has added a “no feathers” policy. This sounds like a good idea after the recent hubbub in San Francisco.

Newmindspace’s Bubble Battle returns to NYC this Saturday for the first time in two years.

They write:

Millions of bubbles fly through the air as we converge in Times Sqauare for a magical bubble battle! Loosely based on the Dr. Seuss Classic The Butter Battle Book. Bring bubble toys, bubble generators, bubble solution, and plenty of AA batteries We will meet on the traffic island at W 43rd & Broadway, fill our weapons and pull the trigger!

Details:
Bubble Battle NYC
Times Square (W 43rd + Broadway)
Saturday, June 21st 2008 @ 6:21pm
Rain or shine. Free and all ages!

UPDATE:
Due to the large number of confirmed attendees, and a solstice yoga thing, we will be moving this event to

W 47th St. & 7th Avenue

just four blocks north of the original location. There is a convenient street closure that day, so there will be plenty of room for bubble blowing!
