New York is holding their annual No Pants Subway Ride on January 12th and Baltimore must represent! Check out details on the NYC event at: www.improveverywhere.com
Improv Everywhere is a group based in NYC that stages large-scale "Scenes". The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual event that gets upward of 200 participants, some veterans and many new volunteers.
The mission: Ride the MTA system WITHOUT YOUR PANTS. You can wear socks, shoes, boots, coats, gloves, shirts and hats - just no pants. (Thongs probably not a great idea if you don't want to get jumped or thrown in jail) The hard part (aside from not catching something) is to be completely deadpan about it. You pretend like you don't know any of the other pantless riders. You should be acting like it is perfectly normal to have been waiting for the subway/light rail without your pants! Bring a backpack or something to put your pants in right before you get on the subway / light rail. Please bring $1.60 for ONE WAY. $3.20 for Round trip. or $3.50 for a round trip. Prices are the same for Light Rail or Subway.
The plan is to meet near the Lexington Market Metro / Light Rail at 3pm where we'll get organized and break into four teams. One team will ride the Light Rail North. One team will ride the Light Rail South. One team will ride the Subway North. One Team will ride the Subway South (towards Hopkins) Please be on time so we can assign you to a group! More details on route plans will follow as we get closer to the date and get a better idea of how many people are going to show up.
Please bring video cameras / regular cameras to the event!
And in the meantime, INVITE EVERYONE!

[description co-opted from the DC event... thanks! :) ] PS: I rode my bike over there and it looks like the SW Corner of Howard & Saratoga looks like the best place to meet. In front of the old bank building.
Boston - January 12, 2008 - Emily Nye, 5, looked up in seeming bewilderment as she and her parents, who are visiting from England, were surrounded by pantless people on the Red Line yesterday. Boston was one of the 10 cities that took part in the "No Pants! Subway Ride." (Essdras M Suarez/Globe Staff)
