Bubble Battle Burst in Times Square

Saturday as the Mermaid Parade finished marching through Coney Island, the Bubble Battle was going down in Times Square. It seems to have outgrown the previous year's location of Astor Place, as thousands showed up and millions of bubbles floated around the Crossroads of the World (video after the jump).

    Here's another cool video from the bubble battle:

    Um, NYC is a place where a lot of people work incredibly hard for for very little money and live in domiciles that most Americans would consider laughable. If the occasional pillow or bubble fight breaks out and prevents one person from going totally bananas and stabbing a stranger on the street or jumping off a bridge, I am a booster.

    pillow fights, mermaids, idiotarod, halloween, and now bubble bursting parties? NY is now a adult playground.

    a protest for a cleaner NYC?

    It was so pretty to watch. And it was also fun to see the tourists' reactions when they'd ask, "What is this for?" and you'd answer, "fun."



    However the Astor Place battle was just slightly more magical because of the jazz band that was playing across the street.

    It's like Tomatina in Buñol, Spain but soapier and thus cleaner. Neat.
