first rain, forever a tradition

na·ked run  /ney-kid/ /rən/   Adjective 

An event at UC Santa Cruz held every year the night of the first rain. A group of students from all walks of life goes around from college to college (i.e., dorms), collecting more people along the way, in nothing but their birthday suits. 

Holy banana slug! I think I just saw Tim from the fourth floor join in on the nakedness that is the naked run. 

Freshman 1: Hey, is it raining outside? 

Freshman 2: Yea, it must be; Kelly is running around the lower quad stark naked. 
Freshman 1: But it isn't the first rain. 
Freshman 2: She doesn't know that.

Happy first rain, everyone! Too bad Manhattan Beach hasn't adopted a tradition like this. Better yet, good thing Manhattan Beach hasn't adopted a tradition like this... And in case you were wondering, I NEVER partook in the naked run when I attended UC Santa Cruz, but I DID watch from the sidelines (and giggled a ton!).
