February 14th Launches new OWS Game-Campaign asking:
WHO ARE YOU IN BED WITH?
#RevPlay | Washington Square Park | Valentine’s Day, Tuesday, February
14th 11am
Revgames is a way for people to combine revolution and game play, in an effort to break down barriers that exist around fear of speaking out. Revgames is about standing up against the larger corporations, local government and politicians in a non-threatening, non-violent way. Revgames looks to engage people to share, play and express themselves in fun and creative ways, sharing these games with others and building on games to push boundaries. This is the launch of our newest game, “bed-in” play inside or outside, set up a bed stage and create performances and raise questions.

Politicians: Who are you in bed with? Government: Who are you in bed with?
The game can be played by anyone, anywhere and participants are invited to document their play at http://whoareyouinbedwith.tumblr.com/
Join us on Valentines day in Washington Square Park. Bring your own mattress, pillow, blanket, sleeping bag and crawl into bed with us to express yourself with play.
