No Pants Light Rail Ride Phoenix 2015

You are hereby invited to participate in the 7th Annual No Pants Light Rail Ride in Phoenix. This is part of The No Pants Subway Ride, which is a global event started by Improv Everywhere in New York in 2002: http://improveverywhere.com/2014/12/01/save-the-date-no-pants-subway-ride-2015/ Now for some details… * When: Sunday, January 11 at 1:00 pm (Over around 4 pm) * Where: 3 starting locations – details below * Bring: A backpack/bag and a Light Rail pass * Wear: Normal winter clothes (jacket, hat, etc.) * Mid-ride party: Angels Trumpet Ale House WHAT TO WEAR You can wear almost any type of underwear you want – except thongs or g-strings. If you’re going to wear boxers we encourage you to wear briefs underneath them in case your fly separates. You can get in trouble for indecent exposure if you reveal too much! Take your pants off on the light rail platform or before you get there. If you’re worried you will be cold on the platform, you can take off your pants on the train, just be aware that’s a little bit trickier and more crowded. If you are wearing your pants to the event, bring a bag or purse to carry them once you de-pants. HOW TO ACT Do NOT tell people you are doing a prank! While you’re riding, act as if nothing strange is going on. Do what you’d normally do on the light rail – listen to your iPhone, read a book, etc. You have no idea why others are not wearing pants. If anyone asks, have a simple excuse prepared for why you’re not wearing pants – you were hot, you forgot them, etc. We will have photographers on hand to take pictures documenting the event. We need everyone else to just act casually. If you bring a camera, be very discreet and only take a few pictures. It’s supposed to look like a normal train ride. Don’t disrupt the Light Rail! While the Phoenix Police Department said that wearing your underwear in public isn’t illegal, don’t do anything dumb. You are responsible for all your actions during this event. STARTING LOCATIONS We're changing things up this year, and having three main starting points. Just go to one of the starting points listed below, and board the first train that arrives after 1 pm. Make sure you arrive in time to get a Light Rail pass from one of the machines at the stations! If you're starting from the west side of town, here's where to go: West Side Stops Board First Eastbound Train from 19th Ave. and Montebello at/after 1 pm East Side Stops Board First Westbound Train from Price Freeway and Apache Boulevard at/after 1 pm We have a group that will be starting at Sky Harbor Airport this year. For this group, arrive at Terminal 4 (while wearing pants) before 1 pm, go into a bathroom to remove your pants, and meet your fellow pantsless riders outside the Arizona Highways store. We’ll walk to the Sky Train and take it to catch the light rail at 44th Street and Washington. WHERE TO STOP Everyone exit the train at the Central and Roosevelt Station. Mid-ride party: Our mid-ride party will be at Angels Trumpet Ale House. They will have some specials for us if you want to grab a bite or a pint. This is an all-ages place, so minors are welcome. We’ll stay here for about an hour or so, but you are free to leave early if you need to, or stay later if you’re having fun. It will be about a 5 minute walk from the Roosevelt station, so bring those (temporary) pants if you need them (see above).
