I know that I'm not cool for saying this, but... I heard about this event through the wonder that is facebook. Sorry Svetlana, if it had been posted on myspace, I would never have heard about it. That having been said, according to the book of face there were almost 1000 confirmed guests for this slumber party pastime, and I must say (granted I'm no demographer) I think turnout had to have been somewhere around a paltry 10%. But still, a one hundred person pillowfight sounds fun, right? I know, you're all wishing now that you had known about this, it could've been great... next time!
Kudos to Craig who managed to lay the cushion smushin' captain "commando" smack-down on college kids, all the while with his ass hanging out like a true champion. And the girl in the pink sparkly helmet and tie-dyed tee-shirt, you too, ruled the festival of headrest hysteria.
Overheard in DC:
Man 1: "Hey man, how'd you hear about this craaaaazy pillowfight?"...
Man 2: "There's this really hilarious blog, have you heard of it? It's called 'Stuff White People Like,' man, that site is soooo witty!"

God loves a cheerful giver.
Retarded.
Dudes, a sack of rocks would have been so awesome at this thing. Next time.
great shots you!
The pictures are awesome. Can't wait to see the ones from the Digitalism show last night.
See you around sucka!
Yes Michael. Judging from every post you rush to put your (disapproving) name on first, everything you don't like isn't worthy of anyone else to enjoy. And you always feel the need to let people know.
Thank god you posted your thought. I'm not really into pillow fighting in public, but without your comment I would have thought these folks were having fun. Now, I know that they are retarded.
this is totally gay. there, now you know that they're retarded AND totally gay. and their parents should have taught them how to buy pants that fit. wait... silly me... they couldn't be taught that because they're retarded!
heard about it on facebook too
replied but didn't intend on attending
looks like it had the potential for some fun
but there sure was a lot of littering going on
looks like a good time, but I agree with Lily, did anyone clean up?
John, do you have a point? I didn't rush to do anything. I saw the post and I made a comment. Sue me because it was the first comment. Maybe I should have waited until more comments were posted to give my opinion on a website that begs for opinions of shit (much like the other opinions that were equally as dismissive)?
Bored much?
for the record, i was just playing around. i don't really think anyone is retarded or gay (and i didn't mean it in the gender pref way), though i do think it's a pretty lame idea. i hope i didn't offend anyone. pillow fighting dorks.
I'm betting no one cleaned up. Someone prove me wrong.
Those of us who *happened* to be driving through the circle, with our windows down, did not appreciate the onslaught of south-bound wind-borne feathers.
Damn hipsters and your crazy public feather distribution orgies! Come here and vacuum my car!
:shakes fist:
i got an email about one happening in nyc and it said on the description that everyone had to clean up after the pillow fight, but not sure about the one in dc.
great pics! craig would have to pull his pants up to his armpits to keep that crack from showing.
Don't worry. Everyone pitched in to clean up. All the feathers and popped pillows went into plastic garbage bags that volunteers distributed to participants after the fight. So much fun.
Hope to see you all there next year.
