Oh god. It’s a good thing Lightspeedchick is on a plane – watching Pride and Prejudice, as she just told me via sms – because she’d probably be squealing with excitement and driving her office mates crazy over this new toy.

Here’s a flashmob I would have loved to join:
Pillow fight erupts amid shrieks, giggles:

Nearly 1,000 people drawn by Internet postings and word-of-mouth converged near San Francisco’s Ferry Building on Tuesday night for a half-hour outdoor pillow fight.

The underground event erupted at 6 p.m. in the center of Justin Herman Plaza with a mass rush of shrieking, laughing combatants — many of whom arrived with pillows concealed in shopping bags, backpacks and the like.

Within minutes, pillows were arcing, feathers were flying, and by the time the Ferry Building’s clock tower clanged the half-hour, the plaza and hundreds of people were covered in white down that gave the scene a wintry lustre.

As my san franciscan friend Alex said: only in San Francisco… Well, not quite! There was another pillow fight club in Milan last November. And another one in London. And another one in Toronto. And another one in… Tel Aviv! In fact, the pillow fight clubs are all over now.

I think maybe we should start one of the Jacques-Cartier bridge when the fireworks season starts again next summer. ;-)
