Flash mob holds pillow fight outside of Tech

Just before noon on Tuesday, a flash mob convened outside of Tech and erupted into total pillow warfare. Literary magazine The Cold Side of the Pillow organized the event via Facebook. Watch Tech Plaza descend into pillow-fighting madness:

One wonders if pillow fights happen during fraternity rush. Or you can return home.

  2. Good video; I really like the set-up to the fight.

    This seems like an interesting idea, but why during the winter? Or during midterm week, for that matter.

    I’m totally in for next quarter’s melee

  3. That mostly just looked awkward. The idea is cool, though.

  6. So you all have seen John Adams where the inauguration of Washington is awkward as all hell…that leads to few million watching Obama. Same thing here, you just saw the start of something huge
