We had a great time on BART, got chastised for changing cars (to expose our pantslessness to as many passengers as possible), but NOT for having no pants ;-) Then a freaky after party at The Irish Bank, where some no pantsers stopped traffic on Bush Street (no pun intended) with really no pants. Thanks so much for making this a national No Pants day... can't wait for the next Improv Everywhere event.

On my way to join some friends and some crazy Packers fans at a bar, I parked my car on the other edge of Davis Square in Somerville.. As I passed the Davis T stop, I made eye contact with a girl coming out of the station. It was someone I didn't know, but I couldn't help but feel that I knew her, or at least who she was. She looked back, seemingly sorting out the same thoughts in her head, until her expression turned to a slightly sly smile just as we passed each other. It wasn't until two or three steps later that it dawned on me as well. No more than 30 minutes beforehand, we had both seen each other in our underwear. Brilliant. Post- No Pants 2k8 Boston:

Myself and my wife thought it would be a good idea to bring the kids as i was the only one participating if the pantless gag got to out of hand and grimy she could split off and meet at young st afterwards. That was not the case every single person i met was just as i thought , very friendly and as crazy as i am. So after we saw how calm everything was we decided to unleash my youngest son ( 4 months ) on the unsuspecting public and let him ride in only his diaper he had a blast laughing and smiling his way through the toronto underground and then after the ride was done we headed to the pub and played some pantless pool and had a photo session it was a great time had by all I was almost late i showed up around 3:30 and crossed the street to see a huge group of people emerge from the price chopper parking lot .

Things went well. We did have 1 undercover officer in our car who was such a perv he was staring at one of the girls crotches the whole time. We met at Granville and Magnolia at 2pm about 40 to 50 people participated. The reason the number is unclear is due to people joining us on the train. It worked very well. The plan was that there were 3 groups. Each group had a different car and each person or couple people were assigned a stop. At the stop before yours you would stand up and lose your pants, stow them away in your bag, and then exit at your stop. Then you would wait for the next train and enter the same car you exited on the previous train. It was all to fun to watch the reactions as someone would get on the train and see the first no pants person. Then they would take a seat and notice the big picture and the look on their face would go from ok that was strange to what the hell! Once everyone was depantsed and aboard the second train it was pretty full of both bottomed and non bottomed people. When we arrived at Monroe everyone exited the train and flooded the platform with pants less individuals. Lots of media people met us there including WGN radio and metromix was along for the whole ride. Also along for the ride was the Chicago tribune reporter. On the way back north the reactions when everyone got on the train at the same time was priceless the lady who was sitting right next to me had no idea what just happened. She was floored. She then asked me why I have no pants on. I told her the whole “my roommate was yelling at me and I ran out of my apartment and COMPLETELY forgot my pants. She said “ok then what is everyone else’s story” I told her I have no Idea what their stories are and maybe she should ask them. She asked the girl sitting directly across from me. The girl looked right into her eyes and said… “Sorority initiation” and rolled her eyes. We then each got off at designated stops and did the same going back up to Granville. When we reached Granville we got off the train and went back over to our meeting spot and took a no pants picture in the parking lot. All in all very successful first no pants for Chicago!

I'm alright with not having bed bugs, thanks... but more missions is good. When I said “Looking forward to many more” I meant missions… not bed bugs.
