(Today Show Coverage from last year’s No Pants Ride)
Like last year, we’re encouraging people to organize their own No Pants Subway Rides in cities around the world on January 10, the same day as our annual event in New York. If you’ve got a subway system, or some form of mass transportation (bus? trolley?) then get involved and organize your own ride.
If you want to be the leader for your town’s ride, create a Facebook event and post a link to it in the comments below so we can promote it on this page. Here are all of the cities that currently have rides being organized for this year:
Adelaide, Australia – Adelaide Flash Mob / Facebook Event
Amsterdam, The Netherlands – Shoqs / Facebook Event
Atlanta, Georgia – Urban Prankster Network / Facebook Event
Boston, Massachusetts – BostonSOS / Facebook Event

Sorry for getting the name wrong Charlie … Please forgive – It’s 2.10 am down here !!!
Damo,
I’m confused– why are there two Sydney events? Maybe you can work with the other organizers to consolidate?
Trains operate in different directions but will do Charlie !
Details for the Dutch event have been published here: http://www.shoqs.nl
For all of you that are saying you wish there was an event in your city, the reason there isn’t one is because you haven’t started it. Among other things, this group feeds off the spontaneity and initiative of people. Be the one to start it in your area, because for each of you that are writing a message, there are probably five to ten more in your city that are reading it thinking “That WOULD be great if we did this here!” Be the one.
I’m not sure if I can handle the entire organizing job for Seattle myself but I posted a Facebook event to start the ball rolling:

I sent out the info to some other experienced flashmob folk who might be willing to help get this together in a week.

[To Lisa and Anna from Seattle: Come on over to the event page wall/discussion/etc and put in your 2 cents. S.L.U.T.? Monorail? Something else?]
What about Montreal?!?!?!?
Yeah, Montreal will do it too:

Awesome! We just hit 20 cities!
There wa a post saying ‘Lets Rock an Alberta one’ by Matt on Dec 30. I need to know if one has been started!!! Info required
@Lillian,
I haven’t seen any info. Sounds like you need to start your own!
I know Burlington. VT doesent have a subway…. but is anyone intrested in doing a ride on the busses?
Got some interest from folks in Seattle’s ImprovMent Society and they started a thread on the Urban Prankster network here:

@Lillian all I did was create an event with no details except interest and posted it here and sent it to some friends who do flash mobs and Santarchy and such. After a day or two some other folks found it here or there and are starting to reply. I’m no organizer but it’s starting to come together, I think, with some help. You should still have time to pull it off.
too bad we have no public transportation in Oklahoma City, opportunities missed…
just added: Warsaw, Poland!
Calgary, Alberta, Canada:

Why has no one done anything in London, UK.
Hi Charlie – We have successfully merged – Sydney has been consolidated into one event with 2 rides offering two different experiences !

Concrete plans proposal up for Seattle:
http://improveverywhere.ning.com/group/seattletacomaimprovmentsociety/forum/topics/no-pants-bus-ride-seattle-2009/
Currently set to meet at 12:30 PM at Hooters Lake Union and then ride the S.L.U.T. streetcar at least once and maybe the monorail. Last chance for feedback or big changes before the facebook event update and invite reminder messages.
