\nPillow fight erupts amid shrieks, giggles:<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
