More images and reports continue to come in from yesterday's Pillow Fight, including the video below that shows the one arrest police made. The Daily News is saying that the girl was arrested after hitting a cop with a pillow. They also talked to one combatant who told them, "We went to Century 21 to get our pillows, and all the pillows were sold out. All the cashiers were so confused, like, 'Why are all the pillows selling out now?'"

                     

Wall Street hasn't been a fun place as of late, even the Panda residing there is sad, so the NewMindSpace crew brought their annual Pillow Fight to the Financial District today. Feathers flew, George Washington looked on, and even the cops seemed to enjoy it.

      

This past Saturday, Newmindspace, the group behind the Bubble Battle and Pillow Fight, held the first NYC Big Wheel Race 2008 in Central Park. With directions like, "You'll need a helmet and other protective gear. Your vehicle's seat must, at its lowest point, be lower than 12 inches. That's low. Wheel size is open. Rubber wheels are strongly discouraged," a number of Big Wheel enthusiasts appeared in elaborate costumes to race down the hill.

                 

The pillow fight just started 30 minutes ago, and the pictures are already coming in. Part of World Pillow Fight Day, this is the third consecutive year the feathers have flown around Union Square.
