SF Pillow Fight went down yesterday at Justin Herman Plaza.
I'm not sure what to think about mass flash mob events like this. Sure they look really fun, but upon a little further thought, they strike me as kind of post-modernist. Like people gotta do mass random shit to feel like something's happening and to pump up some excitement. (But then that's like everything else, right? drugs, raves, alcohol, sungod, I dunno.) And for catharsis, too. Everyone's too tense from shit so they gotta break out their pillows and congregate downtown and slam each other with soft bags of feathers and memory foam.
San Diego's holding their Pillow Fight on Sunday, April 3rd downtown at the Horton Plaza.
(April 3rd is International Pillow Fight Day. Hurray.
Why SF yesterday? *shrugs*)
A guy I know organized UCSD's TritonMob and their Pillow Fight went down during Prime Time 12:50-1pm Friday on Library Walk. The event slipped my mind and I didn't attend; hopped on the bus to downtown LJ for a relaxing lunch and a walk by the ocean. But from the vids on the fb events page and considering the apathetic nature of a good amount of Tritons, looks like UCSD Pillow Fight #2 had a pretty good turnout.
