Well boys and girls, it’s that time of year. Santarchy is starting to spread again as Santas are taking to the streets for the annual Santacon events in cities around the world. It all started back in 1994 as a small Cacophony Society event in San Francisco called “Cheap Suit Santas”, and now it’s a global phenomenon. As my good friend Klaus Maginrannus says, “No force on earth can stop one hundred Santas!”
Looking for a Santacon in your town? Check out the Santarchy and Santacon tribes on Tribe.net. I’ll be updating the santarchy.com archive as notifications of Santacon events come in. You can also follow all the Santarchy action online using Technorati’s blog search and Flickr photostreams.

Don’t forget children, Santa died for your sins.
So, trying as hard as my lil’ brain possibly could, I still cannot find any info on any of these links as to *specific details of the San Francisco 2005 Santacon event**??? HAs the date or other details been decided and posted somewhere??
Help a Naughty lil’ elf out here?!
Not sure where its starting (doesn’t it normally start at the Gold Dust Lounge?), but I know we are having a big thang for Santas at the end of their journey at House Of Shields.
Free Pumpkin shots for Santa!
House of Shields? Really? They had a Santa arrested just last year!
House of Shields has been good to Santa! Remember 2003? They even had some other gig planned at the same time that had a really swell appitizer spread. Yummmm. I can’t wait for pumpkin shots!
The San Francisco/Oakland information was just sent to us today. See my write-up for more info.
Hmmmm..
First of all: I doubt a Santa got arrested at my bar. Maybe an elf, but never a Santa.
Second of all: I may have been duped!! I was told Santa would be coming over to the House Of Shields towards the end of the journey/tourney. Feel free to run to Bullock’s Hippie Rave, but you should at least stop by beforehand…only because I’m running with the Santas also, and I would want a drink before taking E and listening to Trance all night.
Ok, that’s not true. I just want to drink and not listen to Trance.
Free top shelf shot to any Santa saying, “Scott Beale ate Baby Jesus for Lent.”
better Red than Dead.
