A young girl clutches her pillow, in a flurry of feathers, during the Great San Francisco Pillow Fight at Justin Herman Plaza on Feb. 14. A flash-mob tradition since 2006, the pillow fight begins as the Ferry Building clock strikes 6 p.m. Hundreds attend the event, advertised through word-of-mouth, as a non-traditional way to celebrate a traditionally romantic holiday. Feathers, adrift for blocks, cling to attendees and bystanders. At 10 p.m. pillows are replaced with boom-boxes and brooms as the flash-mob clean up crew removes feathers and cotton debris from the plaza and surrounding blocks. CHLOE ASHCRAFT / THE GUARDSMAN
