    SLC fell thru the cracks, but I rode solo and got some nice photos of downtown at least, while enjoying the 15 degree Sunday afternoon. This town needs a leader, as well as a few followers!

    Sydney Australia – Two rides. Two days.
    Combined cast/crew = 90.
    Weather for both events = Overcast. Humid. Showers with periods of sunshine. 26C temp.

    1st ride was held during Jan 9 as per calendar event (Sunday noon AEDST).
    2nd ride was held concurrent with New York timezone ride on Jan 10 (8am AEDST)

    [WHY ? I hear you ask ... to celebrate the 10th anniversary !!!]

    On top of the overwhelming media response we got this year, we ambushed LIVE TV on Channel 7 Sunrise program by appearing in their studio windows at the end of the 2nd ride, leaving the hosts in fits of laughter – We expect a podcast or two to be available soon.

    Photo gallery appeared in major Aust publication : http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/gallery/gallery-e6frewxi-1225984608049

    A great turnout from an international contingent of riders including France, Germany, Belgium, UK, USA and Canada !

    My comment wasn’t posted because it seems to have triggered your spam system.

    Anyway,
    All was nice and dandy in Lisbon, with 75 agents and a warm 15ºC (no rain). After the mission everyone took to the streets and we partied hard, still pantless. There were less agents than last year, but they were better! Very conscious of their role as innocent passengers, but quirky and funny all the same.

    Alas, I’m still waiting for photos from my impromptu and inexperienced photographers, so I leave you with (ugh) newspaper coverage. http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/detalhe/multimedia/fotogaleria/portugal/rebeldes-sem-calcas-invadem-metropolitano

    I’ll post photos on the blog as I get them…

    San Francisco: Many people in banana hammocks. People on BART seemed unfazed. Shopping center wouldn’t let us enter. Twitter kept us on track. Shoppers on Market street a little more interested. Some considred joining. I think it would have been fun if we’d joined the football rally in Union Square. Maybe next year we can intersect another event? There’s some more pics and even a video on our event’s FB page.

    Our companion event, called the YES PANTS RIDE, was an incredible success. Over 3.2 million people showed up around the world, wearing pants on the subway!

    Did you see one of us?

    A touch of irony in the Seattle Times article:

    “If people did this in New York, they would be beat up or arrested,” said Baldeh, a 24-year-old businessman visiting from New York.

    Maybe he should ride the subways more often.

      Ugh. That always drives me crazy. Coverage of regional events that say “this would never work in New York” or coverage of the New York event that says “only in New York!” Don’t members of the media have Google?

    Had a great time in Phoenix participating! About 150 people showed up to make the trek. The Phoenix No Pants pictures are up on Flickr.
