Chaos ruled during tonight’s Pillow Fight at Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco where over a 1000 people showed up to pummel each other with overstuffed pillows. Here are some photos I shot of the fluffy St. Valentine’s Day massacre.
If you shot photos or video at Pillow Fight, leave a comment and I’ll add your link.

A few on Flickr & a short Vimeo clip.
That was so much fun I nearly jizzed my pants. I did, however, sadly lose my camara during the mayhem. It is a Cannon Powershot 5.0 pixels. If anyone found it, please email me at nbonino@gmail.com. Thanks
That was the BOMB (not to be confused with LED signs in Boston)! Did anyone find my nalgene full of Sparks? :D
way too fun…look forward to it again in the future!
don’t have a flickr pro account, so i dont have it in a dedicated set, but you can see more at http://flickr.com/photos/beej/.
Thanks for sharing!
that was some of the most crazy and amazing fun i’ve ever had. so worth all the slams to the head and feathers swallowed. and i’m pretty sure i very briefly talked to the yellow helmet fellow on the left…
That was a humdinger of a pillow fight! I hope to do it again soon with better eye protection.
I also appreciate your photo set…mine, alas, were taken with a cellphone, and thus lacking in excellent.

Pillow fights rock. And the photographer is really good! I just gave pillow fights a thumbs up on thumbwarz.com
What a collection!
Here is my video contribution to the cause.

well, i shot some video with my crappy ancient videocamera, edited it together in sort of a crappy way, and stuck the basically crappy end result here:
http://www.thatnotsofreshfeeling.com/photos/pillow_fight_2007/index.html
there are also some still photos i took after my videocamera batteries died (forgot to bring spares – *doh*!) posted on the same page, but i’ve been looking at other people’s photos and they put mine to shame. . .
so really, the only reason to check out either my vid or my photos is if you just ain’t getting enough from everywhere else. . .
Here are mine–

A great time was had by all. Had to be one of the most documented flash mobs of all time. You can find my photos of the event at http://www.latoga.com/gallery/2483476.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me who sings the song, and the name of the song, on one of the videos on this site?
One of the craziest things I’ve seen online. Too bad it’s not like the pillow fights of my dreams – college-age girls in their underwaer ;(
