Take Off Your Pants, Park Slope!

This Sunday is the annual No Pants Subway Ride. It’s a chance to shed your britches and show NYC your undies. There are seven meet-up spots in NYC and one is at the Old Stone House on 5^th Ave in dear ol’ Park Slope. Meet there this Sunday at 3 PM.  Don’t be late and don’t forget to wear the panties your mother laid out for you.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION:

1)    Willing to take pants off on subway

2)    Able to keep a straight face about it

Time to practice a straight face, do laundry and pick out your fave undergarment!

Wear regular winter clothes (hats, gloves, scarf) and bring a backpack or bag to put your pants in and don’t forget a metro card!

Improv Everywhere gives the 411:

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.

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. 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. You will wait on the platform for the next 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. Remember: Taking photos is not keeping a straight face. Enjoy the experience and resist the urge to document. Take those Instagram shots when the ride is over.

You get the gist. Read all of the instructions here, if you are planning to join in the fun. And if you do, don't miss out on the No Pants Official Afterparty. 

So, come on FIPSters, who's going? Prove you're a baller and let it all hang out this Sunday...then come back and tell us what it was like so we can live vicariously through you while we change our kids' diapers.
