On Saturday April 3, 2010 hundreds of cities around the world, from Stockholm to Shanghai were participating in International Pillow Fight Day.
Los Angeles hosted this event at the Pershing Square in the heart of Los Angeles' downtown. Tons of people used their pillows to have fun. The best and most appropriate question... you may ask, "Why a pillow fight?" Well, we say, "Why not?" Can you think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon in LA?... ☻ Of course, you can! But, what the heck!
As the appointed time of 3 p.m. approached, the waves of fighters streamed into the square from every direction.
It was such a unique experience when people of different lifestyles and believes joined a peaceful fight. Some folks came prepared: pajamas, a surgical mask, glasses and helmet.
The Los Angeles Times wrote, "The loosely coordinated events were part of the so-called urban playground movement and promoted by Newmindspace, http://newmindspace.com a public art group based in New York and Toronto. The project is intended to show how social media can be used to organize people to embrace urban public settings."
We are happy to know that one of the few rules in pillow fighting - do not hit person with the camera. Well, most folks were rule-abiding citizens. As for some... We will respond back to them next year without cameras in our hands. We survived so we can share our memories with all of you. ☺☻☺
Fight! Fight! Fight! Until the feathers fly away!
