Last year’s Dupont Circle pillowfight

Will Marks at Saxaspeak is organizing a Georgetown pillowfight for October 24th on Copley Lawn. Impressively, 391 people have signed up for the Facebook event. How do that many people have pillows to spare?

The pillow fight in Dupont Circle last month wasn’t much fun, according to Voice writer Sam Sweeney. Hitting Georgetown students might be more fun, though, since you finally have an excuse to smack the guy who asks questions right before class gets out early. You can also smack with abandon–Marks says he’s getting GERMS on standby.

Brian Kesten, the head of Georgetown’s Student Commission for Unity and one of this blog’s lodestars, is trying to get students to attend the University Food Committee and complain about Georgetown food poisoning. From an invite to the Facebook group he sent out:

Now is the time to join together and let Leo’s know how we feel, especially with the food poisoning! Send us your comments!

If nothing else, a bunch of students will spice up the meeting, scheduled for 11:30 on October 16th, in the “Team Room”. The minutes from the last meeting include complaints about soggy Grab n Go sandwiches and wax paper at the Diner.

The Hoya’s 40 years in blog wilderness may finally be coming to an end. First there was their unannounced partnership with Saxaspeak, and now they have Outside the Gates, a blog about Georgetown neighborhood goings-on. I’m all for it, especially if it means more people to drink wine with me at Citizens Association of Georgetown meetings.
