Pillow Fight

San Francisco - Hundreds Attend Mass Pillow Fight (Feb 14, 2008) [ Article ]

Roughly 1,000 people drawn by internet postings and word-of-mouth converged
near San Francisco's Ferry Building on Tuesday night for a half-hour pillow fight.

The underground event erupted at 6 p.m. in the center of Justin Herman Plaza
with a mass rush of shrieking, laughing combatants - many of whom arrived
with pillows concealed in shopping bags, backpacks and the like.

Within minutes, pillows were arcing, feathers were flying, and by the time the
Ferry Building's clock tower clanged the half-hour, the plaza and hundreds of
people were covered in white down that gave the scene a wintry lustre.

Boo ... How can I miss such an extraordinary event! Id much rather spend all day with a pillow in my hand and a mouth full of feathers. Stupid Valentines Day, or to better phrase it, Singles Awareness Day. Its gots to be one of the stupidest holiday ever. You dont even get the day off. I cant understand why people would choose a day out of the year just to celebrate their relationship. Shouldn't you do that all year round!? Spending large amounts of money for presents, flowers, balloons, dinner; and all for just that one day. What a waste. The same concept goes for Fathers Day/Mothers Day. Alright, I'm done venting.

I wont miss next year, thats for sure.
