Several dozen people gathered outside Horton Plaza downtown for a giant pillow fight Saturday.
Opponents faced off shortly before 6 p.m. near the water fountain to practice the new sweet, yet soft, science. Why you might ask? Because Saturday was International Pillow fight Day, organizers say.
There are seven rules of Pillow Fight Club, according to the Yelp.com event listing.
- You do tell everyone about Pillow Fight Club SD.
- You do tell everyone about Pillow Fight Club SD.
- If someone whines, has no pillow, or has a camera, you cannot hit them.
- Everyone joins in the fight.
- The one fight starts at the designated time -- no earlier.
- No tar, no heavy things in pillows (no solid foam contour pillows, either).
- Pillow Fights will go on until they're done.
"On our last fight, we had a couple headaches, a twisted ankle and a downtown full of amused bar-goers, police officers, families and friends," the poster said. "This is an all-ages deal where the youngest was under 5 years old and the oldest was well over 50."
