Improv Everywhere: No Pants Subway Ride 2010

From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:


nopants2010-200The 9th Annual No Pants Subway Ride went off without a hitch today in New York. It”s tough to count, but we”re guessing we had around 3,000 participants. Riders met at meeting points spread out all over the city and converged on Union Square. The high was 28 degrees. For more photos and videos as they are submitted, visit here.
