Why..What..How

For some, Santa and xmas for that matter is just a lame excuse for commercial profiteering. It's just more corporate crap that's being force fed to Americans. Who needs it, Not us. A boat load of Santa's therefore dilutes the message and makes a mockery of the "sanctity" of the image.

For others, dressing like Santa is an excuse to stir things up and just be naughty.

Santacon - has toes in both pools.

It's less pub crawl and more interaction with the public at large much like guerrilla theater. During the day the eventure is kid friendly after dark it's 21+

What do we do?

we give out messed up gifts, sing messed up songs, "protest," and generally make asses of ourselves. We also sing karaoke, drink, play tug of war, bowl, ice skate, go to the strip club, eat, carol and dance our asses off. Be prepared to do your part.

How do we do it?

Gifts - Naughty vs. Nice

"nice" is what we give to kids. they don't have to be boring but they do have to be legal. sexually explicit materials given to minors can get you thrown into jail, santa has experience with this, trust santa. If you take a barbie head for example and put it on a stick and cover it with blood looking substance and give it to a small little girl, she might scream in fear but her 11 yr old bro might love it. If you give it to the bro it's Nice if you give it to the little girl, it's Naughty.

"Naughty" - is what you give to adults. kids toys sexualized, anything that would seriously damage the pysche of a child=Naughty. Anything you'd be afraid to give to a minor with parents in tow= Naughty.

simple gift ideas,

a lump of coal with the express instruction that the giftee now has a license to be naughty.

condoms - for 13-18yr olds they can be Nice gifts but be careful around parental units this could be naughty.

Toys - hard plastic toys will require a hacksaw or dremel to pick apart and shoe goo or super glue to reattach and rearrange the miscellanious parts. Soft toys can reorganized with the help of seam reaper and needle and thread.

. Candy - halloween candy is best, pez is also good.

Songs

The idea is to have both Naughty and Nice songs to sing. Naughty for bars and adult audiences and Nice for when kids and "authority" figures are around. Silly but clean songs are the best Nice songs. We have both here and will be printing them out. If you have access to even more, bring them just remember to use a very large font so everyone can read without glasswear.

"Protest" signs

We want to engage the general public with signage. White poster board or foam core using a painting stirer with very large Black Lettering works best. You can unfurl a large bedsheet with large lettering to be held up by two or more santa's with verbage like...

"I'M AGAINST IT" * "I'M FOR IT!" *"LESS COOKIES MORE HO'S

"I SEE YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING" "HEY!, HO!"

"ELVES DO IT ALL YEAR LONG" and so on and so forth.
