Not just for kids anymore

I can't wait until Lucas is old enough to take to SF and do this...

(02-14) 19:19 PST -- Hundreds of people filed into Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco this evening for a massive pillow fight that is becoming a Valentine's Day tradition.

The Pillow Fight Club, which started last year, kicked off when the clock on the Ferry Building struck six. There were at least 500 people swinging pillows at each other in a brawl that lasted more than an hour.

"I wasn't exactly thrilled that this was the way my date started," said Lindsay Lathrope, 28, a Cole Valley resident. "But smacking my boyfriend in the head turned out to be awesome."
It was quite a spectacle as people ran down Market Street giggling with pillows under their arms. Stunned tourists and diners took photos. Some wanted to join in the fun.
Demarcus Jones was willing to pay.

"I will give you five bucks for a pillow," he screamed into the crowd.
