Sat, Jan 10 2009 - Worldwide No Pants Subway Ride (View Original Event Details)
|  |
Just like I figured, a few people chickened out last minute. However, for those that came, it was a really fun event. We gathered at the statue in Queens Park of a guy on a horse. It almost looks like he isn't wearing pants either so it made the ideal rally point.
After a quick briefing by the organizers, a huge crowd divided into subgroups for each subway car then headed to Queens Park station. There we boarded and depanted before our assigned stops. Curious onlookers smiled and seemed intrigued by the proceedings. For us, we had to carry on as if it was the most normal thing in the world to ride pantsless in January.
Kudos to everyone for being such good sports. Loved that Lan knitted and Alicja's business/librarian outfit was awesome. At Eglinton we all got off the train then proceeded back southbound. Even the TTC staff were fine with our antics and we saw them smiling at many points. It was really great to lighten up all those commuters Saturday in such a unique fashion.
