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.

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 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.

Nothing special and quite short (19 sec), but it’s my first YouTube posting, so I’m pretty proud of it :)

Also have a bunch of photos to post.

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. . .

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 ;(
