2010 No Pants Subway Ride

Yes, you are correct-this image has nothing to do with the Pants Off event. Since I am unable to photograph that, I am adding this abstract to keep to my commitment to post a photo a day. I will post more of these periodically and explain their surprising locations.

This intrepid photographer is ailing a bit today, or I would be covering this event with my camera.

"A stunt like this doesn't need explaining in a city that also harbors mass pillow fights and Santa-packed drinking binges. Chaos and joy-spreading public scenes are practically a citywide pastime". (Kelly Clarke, Oregonian).

To participate, you go to a designated MAX stop (for you non-Portlanders, this is the city subway system) and ride the train without your pants. The good (or bad) news, depending on your perspective, is that this event is global. For a report on No Pants 2010 Subway Ride events elsewhere, go to www.improveverywhere.com.
