I am going to participate. Would love to have any fellow NYC area plimates join me in the merriment. Always makes the local news. Here's the scoop, straight from Improve Everywhere:

Agents,

All are invited to participate in the 7th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride. The event
will take place
at 3:00 PM on Saturday, January 12. Everything you need to know is in this email.
Please read it
carefully!


REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1) Willing to take pants off on subway
2) Able to keep a straight face about it


**THIS IS A PARTICIPATORY EVENT. DO NOT SHOW UP UNLESS YOU PLAN TO TAKE YOUR PANTS
OFF. THIS
INCLUDES NEWS MEDIA**


DETAILS

When: Saturday, January 12 at 3:00 PM, Sharp! (Over by around 5:30)
Where: Meet at Foley Square at the black sculpture/fountain. It's near the
Brooklyn Bridge 6
train stop, between Centre and Lafayette, just north of Duane.
MAP: ,+ny,+ny&btnG=Search
Bring: A backpack and a metro card.
Do not bring: A camera (don’t worry we are taking pictures)
Wear: Normal winter clothes (hat, gloves, etc)


HOW IT WORKS

We will assemble in Foley Square at 3 PM. Please be on time. Feel free to be early.

When we're organized, we will all head down to the Brooklyn Bridge 6 Train stop
together. Do not
talk to others once you enter the subway system. No one knows each other. We will
wait for a
train to arrive on the uptown side of the tracks and all board our assigned cars
(follow your team
leader). A man with a megaphone will confirm that it is time to board the train.
We may let one
train go before entering to make sure everyone is ready.

Sit in the car as you normally would. Read a magazine or whatever you would normally
do. Your
team leader will have already divided you into smaller groups, assigning your group
a specific
stop where you will depants. Sit near your group.

As soon as the doors shut at the stop before yours, stand up and take your pants
off and put them
in your backpack. If you'd like to use a briefcase, purse, grocery bag, or
whatever instead of a
backpack that's fine too. You are responsible for your own pants and they should
be with you at
all times. If anyone asks you why you've removed your pants, tell them that
they were "getting
uncomfortable" (or something along those lines.)

Exit the train at your assigned stop and stand on the platform, pantless. This
is a new change
for No Pants 2k7. You will wait on the platform for the next 6 train to arrive.
Stay in the
exact same place on the platform so you enter the next train in the same car as
you exited the
last train.

When you enter , act as you normally would. You do not know any of the other pantless
riders. If
questioned, tell folks that you “forgot to wear pants” and yes you are “a little
cold”. Insist
that it is a coincidence that others also forgot their pants. Be nice and friendly
and normal.

We will exit the train at 125th street. Pay attention so you don't miss this
stop. We will then
repeat the mission back down to Union Square.

You can wear fun underwear if you like, but nothing that screams out “I wore this
because I’m
doing a silly stunt.” Wear two pairs of underwear if it makes you feel more comfortable.
Don't
wear a thong or anything else that might offend people. Our aim is to make people
laugh, not piss
them off.

If you haven't already, please take a moment to read the previous mission reports
for the last six
No Pants rides. They are located on the "Missions" page:

This is always a blast, and I’m really happy that you are taking part in it. You
may bring along
friends if you like, but make sure they get a chance to read all of these instructions.

Please don't reply to this email. All questions will be answered at the meeting
point. If you
must ask a question, do so in a comment on our site where this same information
is posted.

See you on the 12th!

Agent Todd

I'm on the wrong side of the continent, but I will be with you in spirit!

I have been waiting for years for the right assignment...Finally...
/scurries off to Victoria's Secret for the right panties for the ride...

im in nyc but i don't have any clean undies! :(

Oh, how I wish that I could be a part of this! Sadly like steelshooter I'm on the other coast. :( You have no clue how jealous I am of you getting to take part in this. Have lots of fun and tell us all about it when you do it!

Obviously, once the date passes, you're going to have to update this thread with pictures, so we might as well all bookmark it ahead of time.

Oh my god! This makes me so sad! I ALWAYS SAID WE SHOULD MOVE TO NEW YORK, but would my parents listen? Nooooo, they thought it would be better to stay in CANADA.

SUEBE! IF YOUR IN! IM IN!

Where can we meet?

AIM: ##############

shoot me an IM, this is f**king brilliant.

[deleted name and sent it to Suebe via PM -sk]

(I really dont mind having my AIM SN... lol... What are you all going to do? Possibly say hi?)

<i>I'd say hi if I used AIM. But now your AIM SN is gone. Thanks, sk. -yoornotme
ps - Blame the Anonymous Confession Thread for me editing your post.</i>

Wrong side of the Atlantic, otherwise I'd be there.

Just out of interest, what's the ambient temperature in NYC in the middle of January?

f**king freezing.

Pants wearing weather then.

BTW, just in the spirit of international understanding and harmony, I feel I ought to draw your attention to this wikipedia disambiguation page.

Hopefully this will not be a source of confusion, but it is a possibility.

Oh yeah. And the tubes aren't heated (well, they have little vents that blast out some hot air here and there but you'd need to stand right under them)

I won't make it to NY that soon (maybe in February/March - YAY!), but I plime with no pants on most of the time, anyway. Does that count?

Yes that definitely counts!
Hey you really coming to NY?

I'm actually going to Chicago, but I'm planning to see NYC for 2-3 days - you only live once.

Keep me posted - I'm the official NYC tour guide!

Hey suebe...I think that the Plimers here need to offer their expert opinion. I mean these events only happen in a blue moon. It would be a SHAME to have you attend and look silly.

You need to post as many pics of you here with no pants on so we can all vote and be SURE you will look your best.

We are just looking out for your best interests.

I might just have to participate in this thing. Maybe it'll be like part of my birthday celebration (my birthday is three days later).

I go commando. That could be bad.

No if you go commando that could be hot!!! I'd go nekked on a subway but its the whole "snakes on a subway" thing. not like scary snakes like a cute little snake. maybe "meal worms on a train"
