• Pillow Fight Day 2010

  Banditos Misteriosos is proud to announce that once again, Boston will be participating in World Pillow Fight Day!

  Last year, over 70 cities worldwide participated in the First Annual Pillow Fight Day, with over 1200 Banditos of all ages battling it out in Boston.

  Boston was the 3rd largest Pillow Fight in the world, right behind NYC and San Fran. And its happening again this year. This time, let’s try to place in 1st!

  Budapest, Cape Town, Caracas, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York City, Orlando, Paris, Stockholm, Valencia, Vancouver, Washington DC.

  This is just a short list of the over 70+ cities taking part in this event.Date: Saturday, April 3rd. 2010.

  Time: 3:00PM, at the sound of the airhorn (Show up at least 5 minutes early)
  Place: TBA on Banditos Website (misteriosos.org) on April 2nd at 11:55PM

  For those who don’t know about these pillow fights, they are quite fun and simple!

  Show up at 2:55pm, remain inconspicuous to the best of your abilities. Hide your pillow in bags, big jackets, random trees.

  At 3pm, you’ll hear the very obvious signal, rush in and pillow fight away.

  The rules for this pillow fight are pretty straight forward:

  1. Bring a pillow, a soft one is preferred.
  2. Don’t hit anyone without a pillow
  3. If you are wearing glasses, make sure you take them off.
  4. Don’t hit people with cameras
  5. No feathered pillows - let’s keep the mess low.
  6. Go all out!

  Costumes are of course encouraged. This event is child-appropriate!

  Invite your friends, family and co-workers. Spread the word! Last year was a great turnout, let’s put Boston on the World Pillow Fight Map!

• Snowmandito!

  
  Snowmandito
  Boston Common, TBA

  Aloha Banditos!

  You’ll notice we used the word “aloha,” because now that it’s wintertime in our fair city, we’re attempting mind over matter. If we talk and dress like we’re in warmer climate, we won’t be so cold… right?

  Ok…so a quick step outside makes it clear that New England weather cannot be conquered by mere nice, warm thoughts.  And thus it is with pride that Banditos Misteriosos announces our Build-a-Snowmandito!

  The event is pretty straight forward, our goal is to make a garden of snowmen in the middle of the city.

  But we’re going to try something different with this event.

  Since building a snowman depends on well, snow, the exact date of Snowmandito will all depend on the weather.   Thus, instead of picking a date and announcing the location the night before, we’re going to tell you the location and announce the date the night before.

  Hopefully weather will co-operate and everything will fall in line!

  All the details under the fold…

• Very Merry UnBirthday Gift Swap

  

  Sunday, December 6th
  2:00PM
  Copley Square - In front of Trinity Church

  Birthday parties are nice.  But, it’s always about the gifts.  Thus it with pride that Banditos Misteriosos announces its Very Merry UnBirthday Gift Swap!

  For those that went to last seasons Freeform Gift Swap (click for link), the initial premise is somewhat similar, but this time we are celebrating a birthday, yours!  We will be providing the ambiance, music and other such goodies, all you need to bring is a simple gift.

  The only condition is that this gift is homemade. We are pro-DIY.  Participants are asked to not bring anything purchased in a store.  Of course, these gifts do not need to be masterpieces of work and time, just take a walk at your creative side.  Macaroni of course makes a great constructive medium.

  Consider this a Yankee Gift Swap mixed with your 4th grade birthday party…minus the clown and the minivan-carpools.

  Trust us, we throw great birthday parties.  And you are invited.

  All the details under the cut.
