This morning Boston Globe reports: "Hundreds of people gathered on Cambridge Common to engage in an epic pillow fight that persisted for more than an hour. Boston-based group Banditos Misteriosos planned the event, instructing participants via a post made to their website at 12 a.m. this morning to go to the park, which is near Harvard Square, at 3 p.m. Participants, some in costumes, waged war on each other with pillows of all shapes and sizes. Some police gathered at the scene, but there did not appear to be any major disturbances. Event organizers said they hoped to have help from participants in cleaning up the Cambridge park, a portion of which was littered with down and other pillow debris."
On the West Coast -- The Los Angeles Times reports: "Hundreds of people packing pillows descended on Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles -- where fights with soft bedding were expected to break out ..."
Below is a video from the Associated Press that captures the spirit of the events. Two events are shown, pillow fights in Paris and Brussels.
