New York is holding their annual No Pants Subway Ride on January 12th and we think, no, we know (!) Portland must have their own! We tried this last year and had like 15 people say 'hell yes' but only 3 people showed, including myself and my sister. LAME! Let's step it up Portland!

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 aka 'agents.'

Mission:
Ride the max 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 and riding for the max without your pants!

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1) Willing to take pants off on the max
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 4:30 PM, Sharp! (Over by around 5:30), Rain or shine
Where: Meet at the Park by the Lloyd Center MAX stop
Bring: A backpack and no dough- it's fareless square.
Do NOT bring: A camera, this would make things waaay too obvious-- we'll take the pictures
Wear: Normal winter clothes (hat, gloves, etc)

Keep your pants on until we meet up as a group. We'll then remove our pesky pants and walk over to wait for the max.

Further instructions to follow.

INVITE EVERYONE! Keep Portland wierd... right?
