Co-organizer Ross Carpenter is one of the men behind the Denver No Pants Light Rail Ride, which he says is "one of the largest in the nation. So we have a good no-pants community here."
Carpenter is also a co-founder of the Benevolent Citizens Project, which helps raise funds and awareness for different non-profit organizations. This round's beneficiary is DenverWorks, which provides assistance for job seekers. "One of the main things is getting work attire," notes Carpenter -- so, of course, he plans to have a pants donation at the event (and you can bring other clothing items if you like, too).
"It's really just going to be a party," he adds. "We'll have a raffle, maybe some dancing, and 32 participants can join in a Connect Four tournament for free, and there will be a prize, so that's a good incentive to get there early. And everybody who doesn't wear pants will have drink specials. They're hooking us up with some good stuff."
Stuff like $2 sixteen-ounce Bud Light drafts and $3 shot specials, plus prizes for top costumes.
"You can wear pretty much anything but pants," Carpenter says; you can get some ideas on the event website, denvernopants.com.
The No Pants Party starts at 9 p.m. tonight at the Ginn Mill, 2041 Larimer Street, and is free to attend -- but there is a $2 fee to check your pants at the door.
