This year, we’re encouraging folks to organize No Pants Subway Rides in their home towns. If you’ve got a subway system, or some form of mass transportation (bus? trolley?) then get involved on our Facebook group and organize your own ride.
The key here is for someone to step forward and take on the responsibility of being a leader in each town. Agent Sablich took the reigns in Boston and started an event for it and now has over 110 people confirmed to attend! If you want to be the leader for your town’s ride, create a Facebook event and email it to us so we can promote it on this page.
So far there are 10 regional events planned for Saturday, January 12. Here are there Facebook event pages:
New York
Boston
Washington DC
Portland, OR
San Francisco
Chicago
Toronto
Adelaide, Australia(!)
Baltimore, MD
Salt Lake City
UPDATE: For those without Facebook, I’ve posted all of the information on the regional events below and will continue to update this page as information comes in.
New York: Details on ImprovEverywhere.com
Boston: 3:00 PM, Sharp! Location: Meet at ALEWIFE STATION, Indoors. You can park there ($5) or take the subway out to Alewife, but we will be meeting just before the platform, downstairs, in the large open area. If you are coming from the parking garage, you will have to purchase your subway ticket and go through the turnstiles first, and you will see us. (MAP) Bring: A backpack and a charliecard/cash.

We’re up to 4 cities! Who’s going to make it happen on the BART in San Fran???
Lorien from PDX Cacophony here.
we’d love to join in but, have no need to join yet another social netwoking site. Yes, even if all the other cool kids are doing it. Please post PDX faqs somewhere that doesn’t require a log in.
Lorien,
I’ve updated the post with info, and will continue to update as more info comes in.
I’ve wanted to do this in Ottawa, but it’s often frostbite weather at this time of the year. I’m walking around in a legcast and even my toes that are in just a sock are freezing, I’d hate to see someone in bare legs getting frostbite while waiting outside for a bus.
Australia, really? That’s frickin’ awesome!
I’d really like to arrange something like that here, but the problem is, it’s probably -10 degrees (celsius), and the nowregian subway system SUCK, so it would be freeeeeezing…
And I’m only 14 too, so I don’t think anyone would actually listen to/believe me:(
Anything going on in Atlanta GA?
No one has stepped up to be an organizer in Atlanta. Go for it!
Please note the updated meeting place for the Baltimore, MD event.
Street:
SW Corner of Howard & Saratoga
Location:
Near the Lexington Market Subway / Light Rail Stop
Thanks David. I updated the post.
I’m from Adelaide and it’s 41 degrees celcius here tomorrow, I can’t imagine doing taking off your pants in cold weather! Although, people here are going to be looking unusual for even wearing pants on the train in summer!
I’m working on posting the event for the Salt Lake City area (riding TRAX). Anyone interested in helping me coordinate this? Please contact me ASAP: QueenQuill@gmail.com
Thanks!

Who’s settin this up in Chicago?!
The Chicago organizer can be reached through the facebook link.
Ill be at the SF one… ill be the indian guy whose so pale you’d think he’s white.
pdx hell yes.
i will be there- in pants until they are to be removed.
it’s damn cold though.
I just heard about this and would love to get one happening in Sydney. Do they all have to occur on Jan 12th?
Bit late notice but i just stumbled upon this event and wondered if there are any people from London, UK interested in riding the circle line in their boxers / thong.
What kind of underwear? Will a thong be OK in DC? It is legal…

I can deal with the cold and odd stares from the frigid bastard business men of downtown toronto but what will i do if transit cops or actual cops show up and crash the good time do i hightail my ass out of there or bend over and prepare to receive a horrific anal fisting from the long arm of the law
The Chicago information has changed. It’s now at the Granville CTA Red Line Stop at Granville and Magnolia. We almost have 100 confirmed. Had to change to a bigger location.
Thanks Shaina. I updated the post. That’s awesome you guys were on your local NBC tonight.
