Day 45: the first rule of...


As an alternative to Singles Awareness Day, if in San Francisco, one can attend the Great San Francisco Pillow Fight, a massive collection of those bitter dateless singles or those looking to vent their frustation on their fellow man (with a soft and fluffy pillow, of course).

Caught in a sea of a drunken pillowy mosh pit, people were breaking off into straight up pillow fight duels to organized charging routines that would be able to push a whole crowd of thousands back. And of course when you mix hundreds of shameless young adults and big public settings with intentions to attack one another, there's bound to be a mess:

The event asked everyone to clean up afterwards...but really? Yeah right.
I don't think that these pictures do the event justice (cause it really is one of those 'you had to have been there' kinda things), so I took the liberty of uploading a video of this chaotic event so those of you who never made it or are simply deathly afraid of cotton can experience it for yourself.

at 0:04, Yes, my camera gets whacked by a pillow. thank goodness for the strap
at 0:21, Yes, that guy was doing the best Schwarzenegger impression he could while under the influence of inhaled feathers
and at 0:47, No, I don't know where that big explosion of feathers came from. all I knew is that it made people swing their pillows even faster
