This was International Pillow Fight Day in case you didn’t get the memo. The video above is from Nathan Phillips Square and is rather gentler than some of the scenes today but none was very violent. (You can see many videos on YouTube). This is nice because it plays to the child-like quality of the activity (Music: Mary Had A Little Lamb). We were particularly struck by the courtly pillow fighter who chose to carry his friend on his shoulders which gave her quite a commanding position. Anyway, in Bucharest, people watched a pillow duel on stage before feathers flew in their own pillow battle. In the Netherlands, hundreds of people gathered in the central square in the Dutch city of Utrecht for a pillow brawl. Other pillow fight events were scheduled in the U.S., including in Chicago and New York, and around the world in cities in China and Germany. Is that enough of Pillow Fight Day? Possibly.
