If you haven’t been paying attention to anything we’ve said over the past week or two, then you most definitely missed our thoughts on Cosmic Opera, the extrasensory music experience that’s taking place at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on February 24.

On Sunday, January 8th, 2012 tens of thousands of people took off their pants on subways in 59 cities in 27 countries around the world. This is the official video recap of the event, an annual tradition by ImprovEverywhere.

It’s no secret that New York City showcases the top talent in the world…and this rings even more true when major events come around such as the week of New Year’s Eve. With acts like Deadmau5, Nero, Avicii, and Afrojack all making stops, it can almost seem overwhelming to the average concertgoer.

The class is officially called “Dance Music and Nightlife Culture in New York City,” and seeks to answer the great question of life: “why do we go out at night?” If I had to venture a guess, I’d say it’s probably because school and work keep us inside and miserable all day.
