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.
