For the full article with links, please go here.

The 13th Annual No Pants Subway Ride will take place on Sunday, January 12 in New York City. More info with the meeting point and start time will be posted to this site about one week in advance. For now, save the date. You can RSVP on Facebook (optional, but appreciated.)
Once again we are encouraging folks in other cities around the world to stage their own No Pants Subway Rides on the same day. Regional organizers must fill out this registration form to have their event included (that form is for organizers only.) The week before the event we will publish a list of all participating cities along with links to Facebook events. Groups have staged the event on trolleys, light rails, and buses in the past, so don’t let a lack of subway system stop you! 60 cities participated last year. Check the list on this page to see if one happened in your city last year as preference will go to the prior year’s organizers. If you are an organizer, feel free to leave a link to your Facebook event in the comments on this page.
If you are unfamiliar with this tradition, you can read the history here: The No Pants Subway Ride.

Happy pantless riding!

New "Spotlight" Tab - Storefront Takes Over NYC Subways!

Hey there! We now have a new "Spotlight!" tab - this page features some promos, news and events, specifically from the source.

________________________________________
Storefront Takes Over NYC Subways



















If you remember one of my previous posts about the Uniqlo pop-up at Union Square, (read it here: http://terresaling.blogspot.com/2013/10/oct-25th-uniqlo-opens-new-store-at.html,) or some of you might have attended Storefront's Pop-Up Launch Party (http://poppinbottles.thestorefront.com/), I have some more interesting news for you.

Storefront is now taking over the NYC Subways. Read below for more information.

Their site, www.thestorefront.com, is not only handy for those looking for a space to pop up in, but for the rest of us who enjoy cool events, it is also a great resource to find all the hidden gem locations of potential pop-ups popping up in the city. Go take a lookie!  



Storefront Partners with the Metro Transit Authority to Offer Retail Space in New York Subways

New York, NY - December 9, 2013 - Storefront (www.thestorefront.com), the online marketplace that connects artists, designers, and brands with retail space, is announcing today that it has partnered with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority to offer unique retail space for rent in the New York City Subway.

“Our partnership with Storefront reflects MTA’s commitment to pushing the bounds of vibrancy in the subway,” says David Bosch, MTA Director of Leasing and Acquisitions. “Storefront helps us rent out our space by connecting us to local artists, designers and brands to access over 5.3 million daily subway riders.

Storefront already has hundreds of listings in New York that can be rented by the day, week or month -- including space inside established retail stores and booths at markets and events -- and MTA will add another 10 from their portfolio, which in total grosses over $70 million every year.

“MTA retail spaces bring a unique foot traffic advantage to the Storefront platform,” says Erik Eliason, CEO and co-founder of Storefront. “I call it the eyeball factor. After all, foot traffic is a necessity for retailer success, and we aim to set our vendors up for profitability.”

Overall, MTA has 6 retail spaces listed on thestorefront.com. Full list below.


About Storefront
Storefront (www.thestorefront.com) is making retail accessible. The venture-backed startup is an online marketplace for artists, designers and brands to find and rent retail space. The company was a graduate of the San Francisco-based accelerator AngelPad.

About the MTA
The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is a public benefit corporation in the U.S. state of New York that operates public transportation in New York City and nine suburban counties in Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut, as well as nine vehicular bridges and tunnels within New York City.

Before the year ends, write your dreams on the confetti that will fall at Times Square!





All pics from this blog.

As the new year comes and the old one goes, we all have new dreams, resolutions and aspirations.

But, did you know that you can write down your wishes, dreams, and personal goals on a piece of confetti and let it rain down on New Year's Eve at Times Square?

I bet you didn't! I didn't find out until just now. 

Here's how:

From now through December 31, 2013, visit the Times Square Museum and Visitor Center
(7th Avenue between 46th and 47th Street and write it all down!

Who knows? May all your wishes, dreams and goals come true for the new year!

UPDATE for those who can't physically make it to Times Square (or too lazy to), you can submit your wishes to the Virtual Wishing Wall online and they will gladly print your wish on a confetti!

Virtual Wishing Wall
Can’t make it to Times Square? No worries, your wishes can still fall from the sky this New Year’s. Just submit your wish, your dream, your first, online. We will print it onto a piece of confetti for you, so that no matter where you are on New Year's Eve, your wish will be part of the Times Square celebration. Happy New Year!

Have a picture of an old flame, mortgage documents, old tax records or a pile of medical bills?  For this annual New Year’s tradition, Cintas will provide one of its mobile shredding trucks in Times Square for participants to watch the physical evidence of their funny, outlandish and forgettable memories of 2013 get permanently discarded. The public can also write their bad memories on-site to be shredded. A rubber mallet will be available for items that require smashing.
An iPad* will be awarded to the participant with the most intriguing “good riddance” story.  Only participants who come the day of will be eligible for the prize.

Hard to believe that just 25 years ago you could still smoke on an airplane. Imagine getting stuck next to a nervous chain smoker on your flight home for the holidays in today’s world.
But there are new pitfalls of holiday travel. Like wifi deserts. Yes, we speak of your uncle’s house, that bastion of New Year’s day football, odd poultry smells, and AOL dial-up services.
So why not carry your own?
Wakefield has partnered with Karma, 2012 TechStars grads and makers of the sleek pay-as-go hotspot to set you up for a whole year* of browsing whenever, wherever. Karma’s device offers another compelling catch – you get more data as others use your network.
And because you’ll need a new tablet to connect to your handy little hotspot, we’re tossing in an iPad Mini. (Sorry iPad Air: we’re still sold on the portability of the little guy.)
Enter here to win.
And stay safe out there, folks.
*The winner will receive 10GB of data. This should last around 12 months with normal use.
Now go forth (and skip the poultry).
