Hey! Don't know if you guys saw/watch Law & Order: SVU, but they fictionalized the Pillow Fight in last night's episode (where they also fictionalized ImprovEverywhere's Frozen Grand Central mission). The only difference was that it was in Bryant Park instead of Union Square.
Pretty cool! |

Had so much fun! Went to eat afterward and my friends and I left a trail of feathers in the restaurant! It was so worth the stares at the restaurant and on the train coming home - LOL
Here's a couple of short videos I managed to shoot:

So much fun. I climbed the lamppost to the top and was getting it from all sides, man it was fun. It's cool to see myself on youtube, ha!
If you think this is something for kids, then you don't know how to have fun. More important things to do? Stop being such an "adult," you'll hurt yourself. Stop being so serious, you'll give yourself apoplexy. The simplest, silliest things can be the most fun, and it definitely wasn't only "hipsters" who were there: all types were participating. Just let loose for an hour, you'll be rejuvinated.
So if your day was inconvenienced, we are sorry for that, as it wasn't our intention. But we gave a lot of people fun and joy for a few hours, and that makes it worth it. |

Hey Bastian,
Pillows need to be replaced once a year for hygienic purposes, and most feather pillows that are lying around people's homes are long overdue to be thrown away.
There are alternatives to feathers, but they are all petroleum-based, which means they are not biodegradable.
We spend hours making sure that all non-biodegradable material and no bottles, cans and flyers are left behind.
However, next year we are asking that people DO NOT bring feathers unless they pledge to clean up at least two pillows' worth before they go home. |

ok, fun idea and all, but do you HAVE to encourage people to spread dead animal parts all over new york city? yes, those lovely feathers from those fluffy pillows came from animals that lived tortured lives and died horrible deaths. why would you want to want to involve that in your fun event? even if you don't care about it, realize that you're subjecting thousands of people to it. regardless of your cleanup efforts feathers were all over the city, including throughout the union square subway station. completely disgusting. so have fun with poly fiber fill, won't you? |

I wanted to add that I was unable to get there until about 5:45 pm (because I had theater tickets in Brooklyn that I had purchased about a day before I learned that 3/22 was the day of the pillowfight); but when I got to Union Square it was STILL going on! And next year I will be there from the beginning! |

What an amazing and fun time. Thanks to newmindspace for organizing a great event. I think I inhaled more feathers and polyester fill this year than last year, but it was worth it.

A massive pillow fight in New York City! Feathers fly and teddies soar as we gather for a massive urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a pillow to Union Square and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!
