No Pants! Subway Ride

The 7th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride organized by Improv Everywhere takes place in NYC on Saturday, January 12th. This year they are encouraging people to organize No Pants 2k8 events in their own city. So far events are being planned for Boston, Washington DC, Portland OR, Chicago and now San Francisco.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1) Willing to take pants off on subway
2) Able to keep a straight face about it

For more planning information, visit the Improv Everywhere Facebook group.

Here’s a video of No Pants 2k6 which was broken up by the cops.

Help!

I have resisted the Facebook Borg for a while… Is there any publicly-accessible (and Facebook-free) info about the SF efforts?

I would appreciate links that DO NOT require to sign-up with facebook. Too much ahssle, too much privacy intrusion.

For the facebook phobic, here is what is posted on the SF Facebook event:

“Mission:
Ride BART WITHOUT YOUR PANTS. You can wear socks, shoes, boots, coats, gloves, shirts and hats – just no pants. Dress warmly as you will have no pants. (Please no thongs, it’s just impolite. You might get jumped, groped or thrown in jail) The hard part is to be completely solid about it. Do not break a smile or get all giggly about it. You have to pretend like you don’t know any of the other pantless riders. And when asked about it, don’t acknowledge the wierdness. You should be acting like it is perfectly normal to have been waiting for and riding BART without your pants!

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1) Willing to take pants off on BART
2) Able to keep a straight face about it

**THIS IS A PARTICIPATORY EVENT. DO NOT SHOW UP UNLESS YOU PLAN TO TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF. **

DETAILS

When: Saturday, January 12 at 3:00 PM, Sharp! (Over by around 5:30)
Where: I’m thinking we should meet across the street from Embarcadero station, but I’m open to ideas here.
Bring: A backpack or other place to stow pants once they’ve dropped.
Do NOT bring: A camera, this would make things waaay too obvious
Wear: Normal winter clothes (hat, gloves, etc)

Further instructions to follow.

INVITE EVERYONE! It needs to be amazing.”

***

I will be adding details of all regional events to improveverywhere.com for others who don’t want to join facebook.
