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!
Newmindspace founder (and pillow fight organizer!) Kevin Bracken told us this morning, "The pillow fight was a resounding success this year! Parents, children, teens, and everyone in between came and celebrated Pillow Fight Day. The police admired our cleanup effort, and I am about to deliver 1000 pillows to two midtown no-kill animal shelters to be transformed into bedding for dogs and cats. While we can't say 'only in New York' anymore with the 150+ cities that participated this year, we still have the biggest!"
