2009 No Pants Subway Ride - This Sat. in NYC!
If you're looking for something different to do in New York this Saturday (Jan. 10th), you might want to take part in Improv Everywhere's 8th annual No Pants Subway Ride. As you might have guessed, the event involves numerous people riding a given New York City subway train while not wearing any pants (people of both sexes are welcome). The No Pants Subway Ride always evokes curious looks from other train passengers, especially since the participants are instructed to behave as if there was nothing unusual going on and they were just taking an ordinary subway ride.
Improv Everywhere, the group that puts on the No Pants Subway Ride, holds a variety of memorable public performance-art type events. One of their more well-known events occurred when the group had participants walk through Grand Central State and then freeze at the same moment, and stay in their frozen pose for several minutes. (If you haven't seen the video of this, check out the Improv Everywhere Web site... the reactions of the other people in the Station is priceless.)
Get all the details on the No Pants happening at the 2009 No Pants Subway Ride Web site. There you can find all the instructions for the event and decide if it's something you want to do. You can also find photos from previous No Pants Subway Rides.
If you like the concept behind Improv Everywhere but taking your pants off isn't your thing, get on the group's mailing list and find out about other events they sponsor. You might find one that better suits your interests.
