\"Cardboard<\/a>
\nHave you ever had one of those weeks where nothing seemed to go right? One of those weeks where everything that possibly could go wrong did in spite of how carefully you planned everything out or how hard you tried to make everything work? Well, if you have, you\u2019re certainly not alone. In fact, people across the world have had similar experiences since time first began. However, if you\u2019re looking for a way to forget about a rough week, I\u2019ve always found that the best way to put a terrible week behind you is to find something amusing to do. And, by amusing, I mean funny, so if you\u2019re looking for something funny to do this weekend, you don\u2019t need to look any further than Boston Common.<\/p>\n

This is because the Cardboard Tube Fighting League (yes, you read that correctly) is hosting a cardboard tube battle from 11:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. on Saturday on Boston Common. This event, which is completely free and open to the public, will allow you and anyone over the age of 5 to battle each other with cardboard tubes (like the rolls that wrapping paper comes on). All of the tubes for the battle will be provided by the League (to ensure that all of the tubes are safe to use), but everyone is encouraged to come in cardboard armor and\/or costume. For more information on the Cardboard Tube Fighting League event on Boston Common, please visit the Cardboard Tube Fighting League \u2013 Boston Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
