Portland: continuing to keep it weird
Oh, Portland. You are so weird sometimes that I feel like I cannot keep up. Take ‘No Pants on MAX Day’, for example. Apparently I don’t spend enough time cruising the local Craigslist pages because I had no idea this was coming, not until I logged into Flickr this morning and saw bunches of half naked people in one of my contact’s photos. I searched around and sure enough the Mercury had a blurb about it, and so did VanPortlander, and gosh I wish I had known about this ahead of time, because if you try to participate in No Pants on MAX Day by yourself a day later, it’s usually a good recipe for getting arrested.
Ah well. There’s always next year.
they were trying to get this going on the metro here, but of course dcist publicized it and ruined it.
there’s always next year, right?
Totally. I plan to get a few practice runs in before then, wearing a kilt so as not to arouse suspicion.
Another compelling arguement FOR moving to Portland, I see ;).
Ha - same event happened here in Chicago. But all the major media outlets picked up the story, so it lost all the shock value from prior years.
I say we make EVERYDAY no pants day!
For me, every day is “No Pants on MAX Day.”
Hilly, compelling indeed, because it’s hard to win an argument with people who aren’t wearing pants.
Jenny, yes! I totally agree! and if TequilaCon still needs a theme, I say ‘no pants’ is it!
Dave2, you rogue, I’ve always admired your individuality, and your lack of trousers on public transportation.
Gosh, I wonder if my little town had a “No Pants on the Link” Day? Because Dave, we don’t have MAX out here. And I’m sure I don’t want to know who you’re callin “Max”.
TC’08: No Pants in Philly. (But we can wear bike shorts, right?)
Portlanders: Like they need another excuse to not wear clothes.
Shari, I didn’t want to pry into his personal life.
Dustin, I imagine they only did it because the MAX was heated. Otherwise the level of shrinkage would have been devastating.
