Pillow fight in the heart of the financial district.

Saturday, April 4th was the annual World Pillow Fight Day. Elvis and I attended the NYC based fight on Wall Street. New Mind Space, the group that devised this day, suggested pillow fighters wear suits and coats in effort to protest the current economic situation. By the time we made it down to Wall Street, NYPD had closed off many of the surrounding streets and were herding pillow-ists to the area beneath the subway. The disparity between police officers and pillow fighters was humorous and odd -- that police officers even bother; pillow fights are supposed to be harmless.

Here's some footage taken on the scene featuring an Elvis, a suitcase with a golden, a man who farted on his pillow and then wipes the farts onto unsuspecting passerbys, pillow fighters and a small glimpse of me.
