Saturday, January 10th 2008 at 3pm over 100 people showed up at Alewife to ride the T with their pants off. As in, no pants. As in sans-pants and pantless. Without pants you could say.

For details on exactly how everything was set up feel free to read the detailed instructions that were sent to the participants: http://www.bostonsos.org/nopants2009details. Or simply continue reading here for videos and photos...

Please note it was around 20 degrees Fahrenheit in the following two photos:

This was the 2nd year Boston participated in the No Pants festivities started by Improv Everywhere in NYC 8 years ago.

People of all ages participated.

Improv Everywhere will be putting together a video with footage from all the participating cities- we'll let you know when it is released! Here's a clip of a subway performer spontaneously making up lyrics about our pantlessness:

And yes- the man in the photo below is a REAL firefighter. The people in his subway car thought he was there to keep the peace in the event our crazy pantless shennanagins and goings on got out of hand. They were so very wrong...

He was nice enough to pose for a number of photos with participants after the ride- some who've come to know him as the "Hot Sauce Fireman" (check out the print on his boxers)

In addition to the Red Line we also took over JohnnyD's across from the Davis T stop...

Most of the group (some had already gone to the bar!)
