Mack Event: Build a fort

Remember when you used to turn the coffee table upside down and line it with pillows only to drape the whole thing with a sheet or a blanket and hide out all day in your secret fort?

Wasn’t that the coolest thing ever? Let’s revisit!

Everyone build a fort and send me the pics/specs of what you construct!!

    Such a great idea! I love reliving parts of my childhood that were free from stress and the mundane cares that come with being an adult. Thanks for the constant inspiration!

    Hi Allison!!!!!!!!!

    I’m, like, the biggest Smallville fan ever! I can’t believe you will actually read this! Thank you for making this site, where you can connect with your fans!

    I still do this “fort building” stuff! I’m 12, and I have a younger bother and a younger sister. My brother’s name is Jack, and he is 6, and my sister’s name is Claire, and she is 10. So, we have chairs from the kitchen table that we use, and we put them in the living room, and tie a huge blanket on with rubber bands, onto the tops of the chairs! It makes a HUGE fort! It is SO much fun! Thank you for having this event!:)

    I don’t know how to get my fort picture on here, but please e-mail me, it will truly mean the world to me, and I will try to send the picture of my fort to you!!! PLEASE!!!! :)

    your (hopefully) friend,
    Sarah :)

    I opened the top draw of a HUGE filing cabinet and draped a blanket over it. I sat under it for about an hour listening to music… it really sorted my mind out! Got things in order for me!
    A round of applause for Allison, everybody!

    I dont know if you are going to read this but… anyways… and I am not talking about your mesmerizing smile or the bright side of your eyes, your funny hair or your sincere laugh. it is you, as a human being,the one that keeps me captive. You are like that recurring dream that makes you sign, that one dream you dont want to be awaken from. You are like that stuffed bear that a kid never leaves aside. You are like that sensation in the chest of a boy sitting beside that beautiful girl in the school bus. You are like that hope that takes away the tear of disappointment running down the face of child’s first B- in the science test. You are like… just like you are… beautiful, sincere, honest… you are what I have found in your eyes, that that makes me come back to you more than just once a week. Thank you for filling Chloe Sullivan which such an awesome personality that can only come from who you really are…

    Do I ever. Me and my sister used to do the almost everyday under the table. All the pillows round so no one could see you and blankets for the final touches. Ahh, those were the days. Even now and age 16 I still think it would be fun. =]
    Thanks for bringing it back.

    I used to take a sheet and place it over an air conditioning vent in the summer and placed some weights on it and took a nap inside the cool puffy sheet like it was an air tent.

  • Aziza

    hmm. I remember pretending when I was little that my bed was a ship and the floor was the ocean with lots of sharks , lol, and under the table at my grandmother’s house was a house or fortress. Few fun times.
