We Cause Scenes Page #4

"get a life"?

Please, look at yourself.

I was certainly not delighted

that this guy was pissed off.

We were not bothering him.

I was just standing here

in my underwear.

It was not our intent

to irritate someone.

I paid a dollar fifty

to get into this subway.

Okay, I mean, it's stupid.

Maybe in the 60's or 70's, I would

have thought it was comedy.

But today?

'Cause I woke up this morning and I

forgot to wear pants, I should take care?

You didn't forget

to wear pants.

These people need to

lighten up.

Watch your wallet.

There is a woman who's sitting right

here who speaks up and defends us.

I don't think this qualifies

as public nuisance, though.

I think this qualifies as a happening

or piece of performance art,

i.e.:
from the sixties.

That's exactly what this is and you

just have to accept it and move on.

Well then, bring to the theater

but not into a public place.

No, that's the beauty of it!

It happens in public spaces

like this.

There is no beauty in it.

- This is why we have happenings.

- Honey,

you're forgetting

this is not the opera house.

- This is a subway. - It doesn't

have to be in the opera house, honey.

We had an entire subway car

filled with strangers

debating about

the nature of art.

And all we had to do was take off our

pants to get them into that debate.

Watching that No Pants video

for the first time,

I was so excited about it.

But... there was nothing

I could with it.

You can't put video

on a website.

I typed up the story

and it was just text.

So I had that mini-DV tape

for years and years.

And the only way anybody would

ever see that No Pants video

was if there were

at my apartment.

I would say "Oh, you

gotta check this out. "

I thought that the video and the

experience had been so great that...

I decided that I wanted to do

it again the next year.

So about six months

after I moved to New York,

I moved-in with my friend,

Anthony King.

He was sleeping

on someone's couch

and I had an opening in my

apartment so we became roommates.

And then,

my friend Ken moved up.

I moved-in and like,

slept on their couch

and tried to do nice things

and keep it clean.

Having my two roommates

be Ken and Anthony,

accelerated what we could do.

It was never a visceral, like, decision

to be part of Improv Everywhere.

We would just do things.

Oh, okay.

You want to like, get on a fountain

in small, inflatable boats.

Yeah, we'll do that.

Big Mac, I paid for you fair and

square, you get back in my bag.

What?

There was definitely a shift and

I think Danny was an entity.

I was meeting

more and more people

and I was making friends

and getting email addresses
