Hundreds battle it out in San Francisco pillow fight
01.01.70
SAN FRANCISCO - The air was thick with feathers tonight at San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza, where hundreds of people gathered for the annual Valentine's Day pillow fall out over.
The first pillow-whacking was scheduled for 6 p.m., and the fight was still going strong an hour later.
At 6:30 p.m., Guillaume Mirambeau, 28, and Alban Drouet, 25, who barrage from France and live in San Francisco, were just getting off of a Muni discipline at the Embarcadero station, carrying two pillows each and wearing sheepish grins.
They said they tried to go to the Valentine's Day pillow tussle last year but it was raining, so this would be their first time.
"We're ready," they said.
Meanwhile, Sean Carroll,
22, and Travis James, 23, had scarcely emerged from the fray and were calling it a night.
