I swore I wasn't going to post any more today. But I could not help myself on this one...


Roughly 1,000 people drawn by internet postings and word-of-mouth converged near San Francisco's Ferry Building on Tuesday night for a half-hour pillow fight.

The underground event erupted at 6 p.m. in the center of Justin Herman Plaza with a mass rush of shrieking, laughing combatants - many of whom arrived with pillows concealed in shopping bags, backpacks and the like.

Within minutes, pillows were arcing, feathers were flying, and by the time the Ferry Building's clock tower clanged the half-hour, the plaza and hundreds of people were covered in white down that gave the scene a wintry lustre.

This was one of them there flash mobs us rednecks do not understand. I wonder what it would have been like to have been walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly, a ton of wacko people run out into the street and start beating the crap out of each other with pillows. I can only imagine, but I believe it would have been somewhere inbetween hilarious and terrifying.

Because San Francisco exists on a level of weird that most places can only aspire to, and that scares the shit out of a lot of others. It's the only place I've ever lived that I can imagine moving back to one day.
