video from No Pants 2009
UPDATE:
Details for New York
Details for other Cities
The 9th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride will take place on Sunday, January 10 in New York City. More info with the meeting point and start time will be posted to this site in early January. For now, save the date. You can RSVP on Facebook.
Once again we are encouraging folks in other cities around the world to stage their own No Pants rides on the same day. Here is the list of cities who participated last year. Anyone organizing a regional No Pants event should let us know by leaving a comment on this post along with all of the necessary details. In a few weeks we will publish a list of all participating cities along with links to any Facebook events. Groups have staged the event on trolleys, light rails, and buses in the past, so don’t let a lack of subway system stop you!
If you are unfamiliar with this tradition, you can read the history here: The No Pants Subway Ride.
GuerilLA is organizing the No Pants ride in Los Angeles!
Check out http://improveverywhere.ning.com/group/losangeles and up for the mailing list.
Info for the ride will be sent within the next few weeks.
Here’s the Facebook event for the LA ride: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=219715334321
I live in northen Mexico and there is no subway in my town, but a bunch of friends and me are thinking on driving without pants… which is as close as an (safe) alternative as we have here.
For all those in and around the GTA:
Improv in Toronto will again be running Toronto’s branch of the No Pants Subway Ride.
Its always a massive blast with tons of welcoming, chilly people, and it’s the prime choice for people just getting into the Flash Mob “scene”.
More details concerning where and when will be posted shortly on our website:
http://www.improvintoronto.com
We can’t wait to see how big our group will be this year!
Finally an official date. Undecided if I should go pantsless, photograph the event or do both. You always say not to photograpgh but that’s kind of a lame restriction. Photography is who I am!
Darn, thats just 2 days after I board the plane to go study abroad in London. I’ve looked at the previous years and London seems to be sadly missing from the listed cities.
So… London: “No Trousers on the Tube 2010”
Sound like a possibility to any Londoners?
I’ll be in London on the 10th, I’ll totally go pants-less if I’ve got some company.
hit up the couchsurfers in London @couchsurfing.org those crazy folks are always up for making a scene
I am also studying in london but from NYC. I’ll be here on the 10th, and it looks like we got some interest, so lets organize this. hit me up: s.dolan1@lse.ac.uk
I HAVE 7-8 FRIENDS THAT WOULD LIKE TO JOIN
I’d go pantless in London on the 10th =D I’ll be up there then. Sounds like a bad ass idea.
Okay! The Facebook event has been made, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193429534750
All we need are suggestions of which line to ride and a suggestion of place to meet.
Doh! I’m stupid, I used the wrong link, This is the correct one! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=194316604294
no response from London here either…. yet….
I’ll take this on if there are no other volunteers. Would love to make London No Trousers Day 2010 a reality. Adding a British contingent to NY No Pants Day 2011 would be cool too (in more ways than one!) Any NYC organisers feel free to email me christopherkingsley@tiscali.co.uk.
I’m in! Let me know what tube station you will be at and the time! :)

I would be down for a Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada) no pants ride on the sky train.
Anyone else from this area that would?
I will be somewhere in the Vancouver / Seattle area early Januray. If it is happening in Vancouver I could make sure to be there.
I’d definitely be in. A cruise on the new Canada line pantless would be hilarious! Should we start a Facebook group of something?
I’m absolutely in for Vancouver! Two pantsless years in NYC have me hyped to try it on the Canada Line!
Do it! I’ll join in if there’s enough support.
Def start a Facebook group!! Got to get the word out fast!
I’m totally down to ride the Canada line pantsless!
Who wants to do it in Portland???
I think it would be amazing!
email me: cantcheesethis@Live.com
I’m in Portland. I’ll do it!
I’m in :D and I will recruit!!
Hell Yes! Pantsless MAX. Let’s do it!
MINNEAPOLIS “No Pants Train Ride 2010,” on the Hiawatha Light Rail Line…
Okay, Minnesota, it’s time for the Minne-Apple to show the Big Apple how these things are done!
WE NEED ORGANIZERS* to lead several teams of pantsless Minneapolitans — in shifts — from the Mall of America to Nicollet Mall (and back).
WE NEED VIDEOGRAPHERS to film each trip, then edit it and post it on YouTube.
1. Join the Facebook page and mark your calendars.
2. Share this event with everyone you know in Minneapolis and the surrounding area.
3. Encourage them to do the same; we’d like this event to go viral!
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=228568055298
* I don’t live in Minneapolis anymore, but I’ve got lots of friends there, and would love to see “you guys” take this ball and run with it!

And now…

BOSTONS TURN!!!!!!!
ok, I’ve decided to start a facebook event so that we can all see how many people are willing to go pantless in Boston. I’m not much of a leader and will need help so if we can also have people who are willing to: organize and lead, Film and post on youtube, and go pantless participants :)
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=216128261893
Is anyone doing this in DC!?!?! I live in NJ but I’m going back to Baltimore right before this and I really want to do it in DC if someone is organizing it!!!!!!!
I am in for DC!
I am so down to go pantsless on the Metro.
Me and at least 4 friends(so far) are down to go pantsless on the metro!!!! Can’t wait!!!
We should definitely have one in Philadelphia. It sounds awesome.
Who’s down for Chicago?!!
Chicago is in
No pants in the CTA!?
haha
where’s everyone meeting??
Please, for the love of God, leave us alone. We just want a peaceful ride home. Please try and understand, we are clever enough and intelligent enough to find randomness and lightheartedness without you forcing it on us during our commute, while we’re shopping, while we’re eating. Those are the few moments in our lives that are supposed to be just for us, a small moment of escape and peace.
Find a hobby, go volunteer, take an actual improv class — ANYthing to occupy yourselves and give you creative satisfaction that doesn’t involve annoying the piss out of everyone around you.
Thank you.
— John Q. Public
YEs. I hadn’t seen your post before I too posted something similar. But you, Mr. Pubic expressed it better than I ever could have.
You have ugly legs…don’t you?
Uh, yeah, the escape and peace you get in your regular (boring) commute home is what you get the other 364 days out of the year that we’re not forcing lightheartedness on you. That’s why we do it. And god, how awful to have to be forced to witness lightheartedness! The pain must be unbearable.
I’ll be setting it up in the eugene oregon area
I’m in San Francisco and would love to participate! Either on BART or MUNI! Anyone else in?!
someone has created a facebook event for us bay area folks =) http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=199572790809

Atlanta’s Gobi Lumberjacks are in again this year! Our Facebook event is http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193335151972 and our Ning page is at http://improveverywhere.ning.com/group/atlanta/forum/topics/no-pants-2010 .
Let’s make this even bigger than last year. :)
Portland Oregon will be in again!
Someone care to enlighten me as to the point of this tomfoolery? Cause if it’s just to ride the subway pantless then it’s quite foolish, and frankly, inconsiderate to the everyday New Yorker trying to get from point A to point B. I suggest you limit this nonsense to the L line.
I am curious why someone would be on this site if they did not appreciate the humor.
Yep. Quite foolish- and very fun. Inconsiderate? Nobody’s forcing you to look.
NYC last year was killer fun! It even snowed. People started making snow angels at union square park. There was also a scheduled meeting place ( BAR ) for all the attendees which made it easier to meet me some cool peoples.
I will begin organizing a facebook event for Philly, and get back to everyone with the details–unless someone else organizes one first!
If anyone wants to co-organize one in San Francisco with me, send me an email – elijah@elijahsadventure.com.

Totally going to do it this year! A couple of my friends and myself are game to do it in New York since we are all on vacation from school for it. I myself have to decide if I’m going to drop my pants or take pictures because I think it would be a fun event to photograph. I’d also be willing to help document with pictures for Improve Everywhere if they are looking for people to help with that.
Can’t wait either way for No Pants 2010!
