| Unedited B-Roll Video of Chicago's Participation in No-Pants 2010. Shot quickly on my iPhone, so obviously not much regards to production value.

A group of approximately 150 Chicagoans took part in the annual "No Pants" train ride this afternoon, along with 44 other cities in 16 countries worldwide. Chicagoans met just off of the Granville red line stop, braving 10°F weather for this stunt. Participants took off their pants en route to the Roosevelt stop, hopping on different trains during stops along the way, confusing many red line riders. This is Chicago's third year participating in the annual event which had its beginning nine years ago in New York under a group called "Improv Everywhere".
