Fluff Festival today

Today, the Fluff Festival will once again take place in Union Square from 4pm until 7pm. They are celebrating the 90th anniversary of fluff being invented right there in Somerville.

There will be games for everyone, music (Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra, B for Brontosaurus, Adriel Azure and his Dream Indigo Orchestra, and of course, The Flufferettes aka Thru the Keyhole Burlesque), a cooking contest, and plenty of fluff.

Fluffy photos

Aaron Schutzengel posts photos from the What the Fluff festival, including vital shots of kids getting dunked in a kiddie pool of Fluff during a tug of war.

Karrie posts Fluff photos as well, including one of Fluff Boy.

Jeremy Selwyn, chief snacks officer at Taquitos.net, posts still more Fluff photos, including a candid shot of the dancing Flufferettes. He also makes and devours a tuna, Fluff and hot sauce mix on a cracker.

Wait, this just in! More Fluff and Flufferette photos. And here's a photo of Coney Island Men's Rooms - drinks made with Fluff.

What? You just can't get enough of this stuff? Here are even more Fluff photos, by the immortal Hargo (he of the Somerville Gates).

Java programming geeks, meanwhile, were busy at the No Fluff Just Stuff conference in Framingham.

Hmm, did anybody see Jarrett Barrios?

The Fluffiest festival ever

Just in case you've somehow forgotten, tomorrow is the first What the Fluff? day in Somerville's Union Square. From 3 to 7 p.m., celebrate the gooey glop that made Union Square famous - and state Sen. Jarrett Barrios infamous.

... The Independent has the Fluffernutter Martini, a chocolate martini with Fluff and Reese's Pieces on the rim. Most exotic of all Fluff concoctions is surely the Independent's "Coney Island Men's Room." It's a hot-selling blue martini with a dollop of strawberry Fluff floating on top. ...

Fluff: The Musical

Jesse Kanson-Benanav reports that on Sept. 30, Union Square Main Streets will put on a production of "What the Fluff," a

celebration of the genius of Archibald Query who toiled here in Union Square to create Marshmallow Fluff in 1917. In an ironic tribute on September 30 join artists, musical and theatrical performers, inventors, and humorists to pay yummy homage to this great American foodstuff in a madcap festival of science meets nostalgia meets urban landscape. ...

And, yes, of course, Jarrett Barrios has been invited.

Our long Fluff nightmare is over

Political Intelligence has the scoop: Jarrett Barrios has thrown in the (incredibly sticky and gooey) towel and abandoned his anti-Fluff initiative.
