maaaaaaaaaad woooooooorld
So far I think the set this picture came from is the best. I'm sure there'll be tons more pictures uploaded over the next day or two, plus whatever video was taken. What a hell of a way to spend your Sat. afternoon, LOL.
My highlights:
- Winning a bet over how many people would show. Entries: 300, 400, 401, 900, 1100. Mine was the 1100. Estimated showing: 1200!
- As I removed my jeans (trying not to slip and embarrass myself) a lady exclaimed, "Oh my g... that one forgot his underwear!" while looking at me. My coat was too long or my boxer-briefs weren't long enough. Heh.
- A girl of about 10 years gets on the train with her parents as 5 or so people start removing their pants. She exclaims, to her mother in Spanish, "What are they doing?! What are they doing?! What are they doing?! What are they doing?! What are they doing?!"
- Getting out 125th street, which officially ended the "maintain a straight face" portion of our ride and a chaotic dance party ensues. A subway performer, a drummer, is apparently delighted to see us as he begins playing for us all. Singing and dancing is done without pause until our downtown ride rolls in.
- Somewhere along the ride downtown a woman enters our train and is very much surprised by our antics. Very much annoyed also, apparently. She doesn't crack a smile once, and doesn't look at anyone, anywhere, until we all depart at Union Square.
- I actually ran into someone I know (Lenny says, "'Sup, motherfucker?" to ya, James, hahaha) right before we started the ride. When we got to 14th street we decided to hit up Side Bar because they were actually giving out a free beer to anyone who showed up without pants. The mad dash from Union Square to the bar, in the falling snow, was hysterical.
- All the No Pants participants who arrived at Side Bar with no pants stayed in Side Bar with no pants; and, apparently, at about 4 other bars in the area. Obviously 900+ people weren't fitting in some tiny ass bar in Manhattan, so the joyous love of pantslessness was spread to multiple locations.
Then I saw a great movie with Eb-bay-bay...
Highly recommended. The extra part that was done during the credit roll was funny. The soundtrack was interesting too.
I need to sleep.
