Although the status of the 2012 Valentine's Day pillow fight is still a bit uncertain, chances are it will still happen.   At present the event is not listed on the official pillow fight website  or on the Facebook page but we expect there will be people who show up anyway.    As SF.FUNCHEAP puts it, "If 1,000 people “think” there’s a pillow fight and all show up at Justin Herman Plaza at 6pm – then there’s gonna be a  mother f’n  pillow fight!"   We agree.   For those of you who do not know about the Valentine's Day pillow fight I highly recommend you check out the website.    If you want to attend you'll need a pillow (no you can't take one from the hostel but you can get them for cheap in Chinatown) and knowledge of how the game works. See the how-to guide on the official website.   This is just another example of how San Franciscans like to have fun in public places.    Did you get the part about NOT USING HOSTEL PILLOWS!   We hope so, because if you bring our pillows out of the hostel it will cost you your $20 deposit.   Sorry to be so harsh, but hostels kinda need pillows.   Here are some places to check for cheap pillows in Chinatown: Good View Trading Company 678 Broadway Street Lucky Star Discount Store 606 Broadway Street Kim Do Company 1343 Stockton Street, San Francisco, CA
