I like fun stuff as much as the next guy, but what a waste of materials. An excuse to destroy how many pillows? How many jackasses throwing leaving shit on the ground afterwards?

I was just there. It was horrible. There was way too many people there. People were literally shoulder to shoulder. It reaked of BO. I witness a photographer almost get into a fight with a CBS camera guy who kept telling him to get out of his shot even though the camera guy's camera was lifted 20ft above the ground on a tripod. I saw a lot of teenage kids hitting non-participating bystanders with pillows.

I did this pillow fight two years ago (I was 37 and am definitely not a hipster). However, there were tons of teenage boys there who thought it was a good opportunity to be as rough as possible and basically treat the whole thing as a mosh pit. Definitely NOT fun.

You're doing this at 37?

What happened? The other girls wouldn't invite you over to their slumber parties when you were eight?

I just hope they don't stick the city with the cleanup like San Francisco idiots did:

why is everyone calling them hipsters? i dont even see tight jeans in the photo.. its just a chance for everyone to have fun.

If the gals are pillow fighting in bras and panties, I'm there. You won't catch me growing up.

These hipsters with their Peter Pan syndrome!

Grow up kiddies before Daddy takes away your credit card.

Time to throw a brick in a pillowcase and head to Union Square! L8r.

Yousa people gonna die?

The hipsters are little kids at heart, my generation would not think of doing something like this.
