 Pillow Fight Day 2010 - RecapDate: April 3rd 3:00PM
Location: Cambridge Common, Harvard SquareOn April 3rd, 2010, Boston was one of over 130 other cities internationally to participate in World Pillow Fight Day. It’s our favorite holiday – there are no fireworks, you don’t get to eat a turkey dinner, but when else can you join your fellow Bostonians in a wanton free-for-all pillow fight?
Click Here For The Recap
Over 1,500 people joined us in Harvard Square for the fight. Cambridge Common mysteriously swelled from a few people enjoying a beautiful Saturday to swarming and expectant. Many people fulfilled our request to keep their pillows inconspicuous for as long as possible, creating a game we like to call “Pillow or Pregnant?”
Young and old, costumed and incognito, tall, short, skinny, families and collegians, everyone waited with bated breath for 3 pm. And then, at the signal – chaos.
After that, it was all quite simple. Hit or be hit. Protect your comrade. Above all, battle with honor.
For over an hour you fought valiantly, and well. We were proud of our chosen city of Boston. Alas, all good things must come to an end. But we hope you remember the fun we had together and join us next year for Pillow Fight 2011!

Pillow Fight Day - A Success!Hola Banditos,
Thanks so much for coming out to International Pillow Fight Day 2010! All agreed it was a huge success. We saw giant bananas and pink gorillas, sang along to Bohemian Rhapsody, enjoyed the glorious weather, and made sure to leave Harvard cleaner than we found it :) Easily 1,500 people showed up to duke it out, a Boston record and hopefully a national one as well!
An official recap is on the way on what we are proud to present as our NEW and IMPROVED website!
This site has some super cool new features, including a place you can tell us about any pictures or videos you've uploaded onto facebook, flickr, youtube, or any other website. And since we REALLY want to see all the cool pictures and videos you guys took today, take a second and give us the url using our "link your media" application, and we'll post all of it in a centralized location for everyone to share!
Just go here --> http://misteriosos.org/link.php.
Thanks so much to all of you for making this year such a blast. We'll see all of you at our next event.
Mysteriously yours,
