The 7th annual No Pants Subway Ride in Boston is this Sunday - January 12th. All details including meetup time and location are in the instructional video below. There will be no on-site instructions this year; everything is in the video instead. View below or watch it on YouTube.

It's kind of like power walking... except you're dancing... to music only you can hear. Join us for some crazy tomorrow morning before the weekend weather turns sour.

Urban Canvas @ Figment THIS WEEKEND

We'll be at Figment this Saturday and Sunday and we'd love for you to come hang with us. Urban Canvas, our street art group, will be chalking up the sidewalks and we could really use some help. Even though being sanctioned means the thrill from possibly being arrested is gone, it's still chalktastic. I said chalktastic. That's how you know we are hardcore. Join our chalk gang! All the cool kids will be doing it.  

If you've never worked with us before, know that you don't need to be an artiste to help out... let alone have any artistic talent (which is all in the eye of the beholder anyway). It's all about using chalk as a unique tool to engage passersby in creative ways and just have a good time. Find us in

Dewey Square
11am to 5pm
7/27 & 7/28

This past weekend, Urban Canvas ninjas NB and Em took advantage of the warm weather and descended upon the Parkman Bandstand at Boston Common.  With chalk in hand and a desire to color the area sidewalks, we soon found inspiration in the repetitive pattern of the brickwork around the pavilion.  What we created turned into a pixel artwork of sorts... using the bricks (pixels+bricks= 'brixels,' natch), we began creating a few arcade-style ghosts... and before we knew it, we were creating a larger-than-life Pacman game!
