Annual San Francisco Pillow Fight 2007

Sf07 Pillowfight 04

What did you do this Valentine's Day? Candies, flowers and romantic dinners at swanky restaurants are passe. The city of San Francisco chose to celebrate by holding its annual Pillow Fight at Justin Herman Plaza right in the thick of the city. This year, over 1000 people gathered and waited for the bull horn to sound off at which a frenzy of overstuffed pillows went amuck with feathers and laughter ringing thru downtown.

I've lived in Dallas, New York and Los Angeles, but San Francisco holds a special place in my heart. People there really do march to a different drum beat. For a major metropolitan area, it's amazingly dense with people who share a similar outlook on civics, the environment, love and life. I really do "heart" San Francisco. When I lived there, I remember seeing a huge billboard that summed up the city's attitude;

"Superficial? Not us!"

That's so awesome. I wish we had something like that here in Miami.
