“Newmindspace has been throwing the best pillow fights this side of the topless sorority house for the past five years; the world caught on a couple years back, and now it's a world-wide event! Play by the rules (swing softly, please), and a gleefully good time is guaranteed. An added feel-good bonus: this year, all the pillows and stuffing discarded in Union Square is going to a local, no-kill animal shelter to be used as doggy/kitty-cat bedding. That's why organizers are asking that you bring pillows SANS feathers to the fight this year; some puppies are allergic, it turns out. So bring your crappy synthetic IKEA pillow, wear pjs if you like, and get ready for some real kidding around.”

Newmindspace says:
New York City's 5th annual, and the world's 3rd annual Pillow Fight Day! Pillows fly and teddies soar as you converge for a giant urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a soft pillow and wait for the signal. Pillow fight! Cleanup: Please eliminate your use of feathers. As the pillow fight grows in size, so does the mess. By participating, you are pledging to clean up twice the mess you made :) This year, pillows will be collected and donated to a midtown no-kill animal shelter to make bedding for rescued dogs and cats.
