May 2nd is No Pants Day!

According to the holiday website, there are no events planned in Portland as of yet, although there are confirmed happenings in Austin (Texas), Red Deer (Alberta), and Chilliwack (British Columbia). Come on Portland, you already have a nude bike ride. No Pants Day is so PG compared to that. Get organized! Read More
