New York is holding their annual No Pants Subway Ride on January 12th and WE NEED TO PARTICIPATE!

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 TTC 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). Try not to wear underwear that screams "Pulling a Prank."

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 the TTC without your pants!

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1) Willing to take pants off on The TTC
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. **
