Alternate title: How CS has changed my city (or how Lilia decided not to run away and addressed the issue)
You know about my CS addiction right? If you don’t, then you need to meander over to couchsurfing.com and read more about it! Check my profile out while you are on it. It’s amazing, and the tag line rings true to not only me, but the thousands of other members in the corners of the world. "The World is smaller than You Think."
CS San Diego’s first annual Valentine’s Day pillow fight
Here is a quick summary. It will be even better next year!
We started at the fountain in Horton Plaza, then moved on to the streets and started another pillow fight in front of the Balboa. We then proceeded to the intersection of 5th and Market, and returned to Horton Plaza for the finale. Below are some cool links. I am sure more will pop up since there were so many people recording this.
Everyone arrived 20 minutes before the start time, and had their pillows hidden. They pretended like they were simply taking an afternoon stroll. It was hilarious as some had stuffed their pillows in grocery bags and backpacks, while others got instantly pregnant. Everyone was anxious and giggling as soon as a new undercover agent arrived onto the scene.
The fight was started at 6pm by a small group of us. We ran behind the crowd and rushed them screaming swinging pillows!

It was tons of fun. Families joined us with their kids, young and old alike – all taking a little time off to have lighthearted fun. There were feathers everywhere!
Lilia’s randomness to be continued…hope to see you there next year!
