450 Facebook Likes = Pelt Me With Water Balloons

As of writing, the Western Springs Patch Facebook page has 318 likes. While this means 318 totally awesome people like us, and that's terrific, we're still trailing well behind, say, Oak Lawn Patch's Facebook, which boasts a whopping 1,579.

So let's do something to even the score a little bit, shall we?

If we can get another 132 Facebook likes over the next two months—get to 450 before the end of September—I will, and I swear by this, fill a couple hundred water balloons, go to an appropriate place in Western Springs that I will announce here in advance, and film myself being pelted with them by random Village passerby (and you!), then I will post the video here for the entertainment of all.

It's the Drench-an-Editor extravaganza! For awesomeness!

But that only happens if you and all your friends get likin' right away. So please: recommend this post, send it to your friends on Facebook, and, most importantly, like our page to drive those numbers up!

Please? I mean, it is really hot out and I would actually kind of enjoy a cool-down. Even a humiliating cool-down.

Like Western Springs Patch on Facebook so I can get soaking wet and you can have a laugh at my expense! Tell your friends and family!
