the five mile grace – a matthew miller photography joint

something here is bad for you i think….

so this is the post i recieved:

Feathers fly and teddies soar as you converge on Union Square for a massive urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants on E 14th St. Bring a pillow to the square at 2 PM and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!

PILLOW FIGHT! NEW YORK
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 18 2006
UNION SQUARE // 2:00 PM
E 14TH ST. & BROADWAY, NYC
Bring a pillow 🙂
rain date: rain, snow or shine!

Subways:

Rules:
Soft pillows only! Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once. Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras. Remove glasses beforehand! The event is FREE and appropriate for ALL AGES. Wait until the signal to begin! This event is more fun with feathers 😉

PJs optional.

so i figured why not
this thing was awesome
lasted about an hour and a half
i didnt bring a pillow but i brought my camera
i have a ton of shots
but could only upload 2 cuz i dont get much space on flkr
enjoy…oh yea..its was like 21 degrees out
cold as fuck
i still cant feel my fingers

so theres this venue in germany called conne island
and they have an outdoor skatepark(that was covered in snow this time)
and a indoor 3 ft halfpipe(YESSSSSS) that spnies into an 8 ft half( WEIRD)
so i just shredded the 4 ft section all day
then we played the show. but the really special thing about conne island
besideds the deeelish vegan food they gave us….is when bands play
they get fucking insane with confetti! so we make it a point….
well atleast i do, to throw as much back out as is thrown at us
so basicly i didnt play my bass the whole show
ended up shirtless on the last song, stagedove and moshed to my own band
it pretty much ruled, we have a vhs copy of the show that i havent seen yet
i hope to burn it to dvd soon. heres a pic of turmoil playin in the maddness.
and a picture of the aftermath. i thinkevery show should be like this
word.
