As the clock struck 6 people started attacking each other without mercy, every one was on one another,nobody got just one blow they got several hits. They try to hit back some succeed and some just missed. However, they never stopped just keep trying hit each other, on the valentine's day 2009 in Justin Herman plaza, with their deadly weapons,"pillows". Yes I am talking about the Pillow fight. Unbelievable sight!!!. Thousands of pillows was just flinging around. I just couldn't have imagined how people can just jump out of their comfort zone and start hitting completely random strangers without a second thought with their pillow and when people get hit by oth
er people's pillow, they enjoyed it as well.
er people's pillow, they enjoyed it as well.My girl friend (Caitlin) and I want to do something cool and different this Valentine's day and she found out about the pillow fight in San Francisco in Justin Herman Plaza . We were looking forward towards it. We decided no matter what will happen we are going to do it. Then lately we heard the news that the weekend of Valentine's day will be rainy and wet but it didn't effect our decision we bought ponchos as the rescue plan. However it didn't rain during the pillow fight hours.
So, This was the fourth successful pillow fight in the row. I will not talk more about the history and whereabouts because it all available on-line. I will be talking about how does it feel to be there in the "Pillow War Zone".
So before we couldn't even start the pillow fight around 5:45 pm there was these people dressed up as UN officers were protesting against the pillow fight. For an instance we thought they are real UN people and they want to stop pillow fight but soon we realized that it was just joke(As seen on flyer:) ). However for those who don't know what "UN" is; UN stand for UNO which is acronym for United Nations Organizations. I am not being condescending here because I saw couple people went to the UN fake officers and start asking what "un" stands for? they didn't have any clue whatsoever that there is something called UN. Which kind of spoiled the joke. They were just handing out flyers.
At 6 sharp I got my firs pillow hit on my face and then another followed the first one on my neck it didn't take time for me to realize that I have to start attacking soon. I just start flinging my pillow in all the direction. And it is the same scene all over Justin Herman Plaza. People were dressed in different interesting costumes; A set of Zombies(they were just maneuvering within the crowd pillow less, and every body was hitting them), People were dressed in sleeping robes, people were dressed as super heroes, Ninjas. There was a DJ as well riding on his bike ,carrying his speakers on it, moving all over the arena.
After 45 minutes or so some pillows started getting torn and in 15 minutes or so whole area was filled pillow feather It just looked like snow all over. People didn't care about it they were just keep hitting each other with the same animosity ;). Apart from the main arena people were doing extreme pillow fights in different groups. It was all very well managed by the participants despite of such pillow brutality there were no fights what so ever which is really very good about it. It was all in the name of just simple fun.
There were so many moments but this is the one I remember most. So, there was this couple they were actively participating in pillow fight and then the girl dropped her pillow her boyfriend helped her to get it back and then they just kissed each other. It was so "cheesy ";kissing in the fore ground and lots and lots of jumping pillows in the back ground. However, they just didn't realize that it was in the middle of pillow fight ...hahaha
