WHAT WHERE WHEN

Every December, cacophonous Santas rampage through cities around the world. It started in ‘94 when a few dozen cheap-suited Santas crashed downtown San Francisco for a night of Kringle Kaos. Things have since reached Critical Xmas and Santarchy is now a global phenomenon. You'd better watch out! Santa's coming to town!

Boston Santacon 2008 starts at Faneuil Hall Marketplace (The Purple Shamrock 1:00 PM, maybe Cheers and Salty Dog after). Then Santa marches on Beacon Hill (21st Amendment 4:00), parades through the Common and down Charles Street, rides the Redline to Harvard Square (John Harvard’s 7:00), and finally rides the 66 (9:30 PM) straight to Harper’s Ferry to shake his red flannel booty ‘til dawn!

What should Santa bring?

1. Flannel: Bring a costume! Any costume! Santa costume’s great, or get clever and come in something else!
2. Flask: Waiting for a drink when you’re one of a hundred Santas can take a while. Pack your own to keep Christmas spirits high and keep your bar tabs low!
3. Funds: Bring cash for booze, subway, buses, taxis, and tips! SANTA LEAVES A TIP!!!
4. Fun: Does this need explanation?

* * *
Rules: (Remember these to help keep Santacon fun for EVERYONE, not just you)

The 4 F’s of Santacon:
--> Don’t fuck with kids: Santa’s here to spread cheer. Growing up in this culture is scarring enough. Please don’t make it any worse.
--> Don’t fuck with cops: They keep drunks like us safe. And they’ll arrest you, no matter what you’re wearing. That’s not fun.
--> Don’t fuck with security: Don’t steal. Don’t vandalize. Security will tell the cops it was the guy dressed like Santa. And that’s all of us.
--> Don’t fuck with Santa: We’re all here to have a good time. Can we focus on that?

STILL NEED A SANTA SUIT?

this from another Santa:
"Just talked to Christmas Tree Shop in somerville and apparently they have the full suit, pants, jacket and hat, for $7.99."

Alright, Coal-bait, listen up, because the following 4 posts will probably be the last announcement you get before Show Time. Santa needs to go polish his boots and bells and doesn’t have any more time for updates and emails:

-•- Santa rides tomorrow, from 1:00 PM ‘til he falls over. I don’t want any bellyaching from Wimpy the Elf about SNOW. Santa lives at the NORTH FREAKIN POLE. Santa drives a SLEIGH.

* * * Tomorrow – 1:00 PM – Santa. * * *

-•- This year Santa’s been getting some attention around the country from PRESS and POLICE: some nice, but a lot more NAUGHTY. So before you grubby little Ho's read any more, you better memorize The Four F’s of Santacon like your precious little snow-chapped cheeks depend on it! Behave or Be Ho’d!
--> 1. Don’t fuck with kids!
--> 2. Don’t fuck with cops!
--> 3. Don’t fuck with security!
--> 4. Don’t fuck with Santa!

And if you catch any Poser Santas breaking the rules, tell them to knock it the fuck off immediately or they’ll get their furry fannies paddled ‘til they fudge their flannels. Am I clear?

-•- If you’re arriving late and you want to FIND Santa, you better be set up to get text updates from Swaggle. The chances are pretty freakin SLIM that Santa will hear your call over the noise of your MOM screaming, "Oh SANTA! Oh SANTA!"

-•- If it gets too cold for Santa’s fingers to open his flask, Santa has two alternative plans:
--> 1. Santa has picked a couple more bars on Charles Street to give Santa optional extra stops. If Santa starts turning blue, let Santa know and Santa can stop someplace close to warm up.
--> 2. If it really sucks outside, Santa will say “Fuck Beacon Hill,” continue to raze hell around Faneuil Hall, then jump on the T at Government Center and go straight to John Harvard’s.
None of this will be decided before we start tomorrow at 1:00.

-•- Tomorrow, Santa will give detailed info to all the Santas about getting to Santa’s last stop: Harper’s Ferry, 10:00 PM. It’s easy: all the Santas get on the same bus at the same time. It goes straight to Harper’s Ferry from John Harvard’s. Don’t miss it. Just get your drunk ass on the bus.

That’s it, Kringle Klowns. Get back to finishing your costumes and sipping your nog. Santa will see you all tomorrow!
Merry as all hell,
- Santa Boston
