First Annual Austin Pillow Fight: Success!

pillowfight_austin_Layer 1.jpg

"Everybody just started screaming, took our their pillows, and everybody just started swinging. I didn't even see it coming. I didn't know anybody that was hitting me ... I tripped on a couple of things, and I lost my hat. It was crazy."

-- David, Pillow Fighter

Check out the Statesman's awesome footage from last night's Pillow Fight, with lightning crashing in the distance and hundreds of Austinites gathered at Auditorium Shores.

And ladies, is this you? Steve sure wants to know:

I was there and it was super. Just super. After my roommate tuckered out, I stole her pillow and started in on the melee. Then I saw this cute red-headed girl in an awesome blue dress and brown boots. I even got to sock her with the pillow once or twice. If you're reading this blue-dress girl, you should call me for a rematch.

I actually participated in a pillow fight on UT campus a couple years back. It definitely wasn't as big as this one (more like 20 people), but a lot of fun! It was part of a short lived pillow fight club at UT.

Hey, that sure does seem to be blue-dress girl! And I don't think Steve-o's drawings are all that dark.... Love it in the air! Whee!

Here comes the surge in Craigslist and Chronicle missed connections...

Those actually aren't my pics, but they're from a link on CL. Hope Steve hooks up with his little red-headed girl anyway. (Although I recommmend she look at his website first - some of those drawings are more than a little creepy. Just sayin'...)
