My personal take, the little kids were the best.:p It was SO MUCH FUN! I laughed the entire 2 hours I stayed. Even though the rules stated:
Don't hit people with cameras--yeah right. I got hit on the butt a few times. No worries. There was so much down on the ground and in the air, it looked like it was snowing and yes, people made snow angels. Next year, I will bring a pillow:p

So a friend of mine new to the SF area was unable to make this so-called pillow fight. Boo! I was looking forward to his take on it all. Sounds likes fun. I wouldn't put myself in the middle of it though. I'd be on the sidelines. :D

I used to think that too but the fun is infectious. If I didnt have a camera with me, I would have been swiping at people too. I will say the "hardcore fighters" were in the center and everyone else was on the outside of the circle. A lot of people tossed their pillows so if you came without a pillow, you could grab one off the ground OR you could grab a pillow case and fill it with the down that was on the ground.

I went to an N train party (yellow line - from queens through manhattan via Broadway to Brooklyn) and you had to dress up as something that started with "N."

me and my friend were unsure how serious a matter these things are, so we just showed on at 8th street and waited for the train to come. We get on the train and the "host" says "cool, i get it!"

and we say, "get what?"

"your costumes - you're nigerians right?" mind you we are wearing regular street clothes.

:mad: its ok we were good sports about. i mean he couldve picked worse...

I actually have participated in one. It was on a smaller scale, but yes. =)

It was on my campus. We have a really large intersection and during one of the crossing points, around 70 of us darted from everywhere and had a pillow fight in the middle. It was a lot of fun.

I hope they plan more coming up! I would do it but I don't have the time.
