New York City Pillow Fight 2008 *third annual*
Saturday, March 22nd 2008 in Union Square at 3:00 PM


A massive pillow fight in New York City! Feathers fly and teddies soar as we gather for a massive urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a pillow to Union Square and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!

This year's pillow fight is timed to coincide with pillow fights in cities all over the world. Learn more about World Pillow Fight Day and Newmindspace.

 

The Rules

Soft pillows only
! + Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once. + Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras. + Remove glasses beforehand! + The event is FREE and appropriate for ALL AGES. Wait until 3:00 to begin. + This event is more fun with feathers!

Costumes and funky pillows encouraged :)

 

The Cleanup Effort: Volunteers Needed!

This year's goal is to clean up most of the feathers left behind, and 100% of the litter. If you would like to help clean up, please bring some trash bags :) We will distribute gloves and brooms.

What an amazing and fun time. Thanks to newmindspace for organizing a great event. I think I inhaled more feathers and polyester fill this year than last year, but it was worth it.

Hey - the fight was so much fun. I put up a video here: vimeo.com/814204

It's a very rough cut - a more polished version will follow. However, I wanted to get the material out there for everyone to enjoy, as fast as possible.

Hope to see all of you again in '09

One of the most amazing things I have ever participated in. Sometimes you just need to let loose and have a good time, ESPECIALLY with so many serious problems in this world. And I for one don't mind my tax dollars going to clean up a few feathers I have spilled. Feathers over wars any day.

And for anyone who thinks this is a waste of time, why don't you go look up some pictures of the event and see the photos of hundreds of strangers smiling at each other. Nothing that causes so much joy on this scale is wasteful. Thanks for organizing this folks.
