I just read a blog posting about a Dec. 19 snow fight that happened in Times Square at about 1:00 a.m. It was started by a bunch of kids from Florida and escalated into a small army of locals and tourists launching baseball-sized chunks of snow at each other. The black and white shots seen on the blog are nostalgic of what winter fun used to be and I bet everyone there and involved will be talking about this for years to come.
But for those who weren't involved, did it ever happen? It's like that age-old question: If a tree falls in a forest and no one was there to see it, did it fall? So if I wasn't in Times Square at 1:00 a.m. to participate, would this event be deemed important?
The very next day a Facebook page was created, almost 600 members joined and an experience of a lifetime was born. Now, for months and years to come, anyone who knows anyone involved in the Times Square Snowball Fight of 2009 can visit this page, view the video and pictures and know that this really did happen.
