I was shopping in the area that Saturday and happened on that gonzo gathering.
Although some thought I came to the melee in a costume, I was in fact wearing my standard NYC outfit: black jeans, black leather shoes, black shirt and nearly floor-length black leather coat.
Some called me "Matrix Man" (thirty or more actually, just before they attacked with pillows in hand).
I got in touch with my inner gladiator and held back the lot of them.
Lmfao i went for the Annual NYC Pillow Fight 2008 It was insane!! although there were a few assholes who though it would be awesome to but belts around the pillows xD

I must say that whoever edited this video with Basement Jaxx and the cuts in the video should win an emmy. I have watched this video at leat 10 times and it's an actual stroke of genius. I only hope that I can edit something and make it as cool as this. Thanks!
