NYC Pillow Fight
Posted by admin | Filed under Fun, NYC Events
Just last Saturday - March 22, 2008 - New York City experienced it’s Third Annual Pillow Fight.
A pillow fight as defined by wiki is a common game mostly played by young children (but can also occur with teens and adults) in which they engage in mock physical conflict utilizing pillows as weapons.
Hundreds if not thousands of people assembled right in the middle of Union Square for a fun filled, afternoon pillow fight. Feathers, plush bunnies and empty pillow cases flew through the sky as hundreds of people engaged in crazy fun. Laughter and squealing filled the Square and I could not believe how much everyone was enjoying themselves. But I mean, why wouldn’t they? How often do you get the opportunity to slam hundreds of random people with your pillows all while having good old fun and possibly even making some friends in the process! Several people really got into it and dressed up in random costumes such as a gorilla, Santa, and many more.
It was quite amazing and very thrilling to be a part of such and adrenalin pumping event. I tried to take pictures to document the event, however; I didn’t get too many photos as I was much preoccupied laughing and observing everyone around me. I even got the chance to taste a couple feathers while laughing, as I accidentally swallowed them. Lesson learned here is not to laugh with your mouth open while in the midst of flying feathers. You can view the few photos I took on my Flickr page.
Mind you, it wasn’t just any ordinary pillow fight. It was a World Pillow Fight Day! Several cities around the world joined in on the pillow fight - all in unison, which is quite amazing! The founders of the event definitely get a “high-five” on the success of it this year. If there’s another one planned for next year, I’ll be sure to join in again.
