Public transportation: always an adventure! As can be expected from a universally accessible service, a ride on the bus or the subway often involves exciting interactions with deranged loners, unique new smells, and mystery puddles!

Flocks of Improv 101 geeks and assorted hangers-on will brave Saturday's 26 degree weather and disrobe within the screeching bowels of the subway system. It's all for the annual No Pants Subway Ride. We applaud the quickly shrinking balls of participants, but wonder if organized chaos can top the subway's spontaneous lunacy.
