Cardboard Tube Fighting League comes to NYC, Philly

Cory Doctorow 11:52 pm Mon Jul 6, 2009

Ravin sez, "Hello, I'm Ravin Pierre, I'm not an actor but I portray one on the television.

I'm co-founder of Cardboard Tube Fighting League out of Seattle. One weekend only, I'm traveling to the east coast (again, Tube Fight – Washington DC 2008) to seed new groups in Philly and NYC.

I'm big into DIY and creative costume enthusiasm, as most Boing Boing readers are, I'm hoping they will show up in their best cardboard costume and battle."

7/12: Cardboard Tube Fighting League Tournament – New York City, NY (McCarren Park)

7/11: Cardboard Tube Fighting League Tournament – Philadelphia, PA (Near Philly Art Museum, Rocky Steps)

(Thanks, Ravin!)
