Did you ever want to get between the sheets with a few hundred strangers at sunset under the trees? Well, I can’t make that happen for you, but I may be able to get you between the pillowcases for a while at the Union Square Pillow Fight this friday evening.
This Saturday at 6 p.m., just show up at Union Square discreetly carrying your softest, fluffiest (customized?) pillow. Wait till 6 p.m. (There is a huge art clock titled “Metronome” on the façade of the Virgin Megastore, if you can read it – just wait for the first four digits to read “0600”) – then let the feathers fly. Costumes and custom pillows are encouraged. There are some rules for this seemly spontaneous event. Remove eyewear (duh). Don’t swing till 6 p.m. Don’t attack bystanders or cameras, unless they ask you too. Be gentle with me – there may be hundreds of people flailing pillows around, so try not to hurt anyone. And SOFT pillows only – feathers preferred. 6:15, stop swinging.
From there hooking up with your favorite pillow pal is optional. If you do, you may want to sit down over some serious comfort foot at Chat n' Chew, before getting a room at the David Rockwell-designed W New York Union Square, just across the park.
