This year was 18th Annual No Pants Subway Ride and was on Sunday January 13. One of the meeting places was at Foley Square. At the meeting points, participants were organized into groups and assigned a specific train car. Once everyone was divided up, they all headed to nearby subway stations. They took their pants off in the subway train and put it in their backpack. All train routes would converge on Union Square. All participants were having fun on Union Square subway station before they went to the bar.

I decided to get a backpack because I needed a little more room. Before this, I used a Tamrac messenger bag. What else is in the bag, you ask? Those bags that newspapers are delivered in (to cover up my strobes in the rain). A 16" softbox is in the webbing on the outside of the bag. The mount for the softbox is in the pocket behind the webbing. My camera battery charger. Extra sync cables. USB cable for my BlackBerry Pearl. Aux cable for my iPod. Lens cleaning cloths. Etc.

I need a new backpack so I was trying which one was right for me

My cooper backpack (variation 2) from Colette Patterns made of canvas (i think?) and synthetic leather.

I'm currently visiting my grandma in Taiwan and had fun hunting down the hardware and using her old iron, machine, and mallet to make this bag. I also loved not having to make a muslin for fit! Hooray!

An easy make, but take note if you are not using a flat slider - the instructions don't account for it. My slider had an obvious right/wrong side and I had to do a bit of guessing and playing around so that the slider would face the correct side. I also found it difficult to use an awl to create holes for the rivets. It was much easier to use a tiny punch and punch out the spots instead. The rivets slid in easily and I didn't have to fight to get them in. I wish this bag had some zippers, especially for the main part, but it still holds things nicely. It's just me who is paranoid about pickpockets or things falling out accidentally. I do love all the pockets though as there are a total of 8 (!). That's a lot, and so this bag holds my keys, wallet, umbrella, phone, scarf, sweater, and chap stick perfectly. I also felt so stylish wearing this when compared to all the "regular looking" backpacks out there. Overall I am very pleased with my first bag make.

I have more photos and wrote more in my blog here: cathywu.com/journal/kalali/2013/12/12/cooper-backpack-bag/

Thanks Manfrotto Group / Kata for the new Bumblebee 222 replacement..

A few years back I found out about the Kata Bumblebee 222, and was floored it was on paper an amazing backpack and easily surpassed anything on the market and bought one as soon as they were available in North America.

Anyways, while I loved the backpack and gave it a pretty glowing review, I did have a few issues with it. Including the fact that the lower portion didn't fully protect everything from falling out if someone was standing up, etc.

Well turns out it bugged them as well, so they made a change to the bag... So when I was out at WPPI I ended up talking to some Manfrotto Group folks who when they realized I had one of the few first batch bags offered to replace my 2.5 year old bag for free..

... quite thankful, and yet another reason folks should think about going to the big conventions and getting to know some of their vendors and suppliers. I also had Canon do some amazing stuff for me out at WPPI as well.

Tactical shopping backpacks are nothing: At the EDCforum there's talk of tactical diaper bags (with optional MOPP-4 suit for changing diapers).
