DSC02054 - San Francisco Pillow Fight 2007

This event just keeps getting bigger. I covered it last year, and it was a few hundred people. Over a thousand people showed up yesterday in Justin Herman Plaza to beat each other down with pillow love on Valentine's Day. The now annual event makes for amazing pictures and video, and everyone looks so happy as they smile within the madness of fluffy pillows flying.

The best photograph I have seen shows a group of people wailing away at one another, the white fluff flying, and in the corner one guy has a paper bag over his 20oz beer, smiling away as he takes it all in.

Hundreds of fun seekers fill Justin Herman Plaza in downtown San Francisco on Wednesday evening to take part in the annual Valentine's Day mass pillow fight. Above: Zoe Sano, 9, of Brisbane uses her stuffed toy in place of a pillow. The event lasted for more than an hour. One participant, Lindsay Lathrope of San Francisco's Cole Valley neighborhood declared, "I wasn't exactly thrilled that this was the way my date started. But smacking my boyfriend in the head turned out to be awesome."

Yesterday almost a thousand people met in downtown San Francisco for an Annual pillow fight. You come to the place with a concealed pillow and then at 6 pm the half hour long fight begins!! Now that sounds like an awesome time.... I just wouldn’t' want to be wearing my glasses. Could you imagine being there without knowing what was going on? You would think a bunch of crazies got out of the Looney bin.

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.
