The beginning of April is always jam-packed with exciting events and occasions. LCD Soundsystem are playing their final shows this week, the MLB season starts for the Yankees on Thursday, and April Fools Day is Friday (is it really a coincidence that the Mets first game is the same day?). But of course, the most important event of the week will happen on Saturday.
Reminder: Pillow Fight Day 2011 Coming Next Week!
Pillow Fight Day Forever!
Happy day after International Pillow Fight Day! Even more photos have come in documenting the feathery fight that went down in Union Square yesterday afternoon. Check out the video below... so close up you can almost see the bedbugs flying around!

Video: Arrest Puts a Damper on Otherwise Joyous Pillow Fight
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?'"
Feathers Fly at the Annual Pillow Fight
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.
