The best thing about Christmas is Santacon. This year, the annual gathering of a couple thousand drunk folks dresses as Saint Nick happens on Saturday, December 8th. The meet up will happen at 9:30am and the spot will be announced on the Santacon site, so check it on Friday (they announce it last minute because they don't get permits or anything).
On Saturday, Santacon will also be taking over Austin, Asheville, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Munich, Phoenix, Portland, Sacremento and Washington DC.
In 2003, I sent Chuck Palahniuk on a book tour. At a stop in Portland, he was attacked by a gigantic group of Santaconners who forced the author to do shots with him and get dressed like Santa. Photos are here........

I’m glad that most of the people here are really clever, and are fun to talk, because we have a lot in common. Here I can express myself, share different information, have gun, enjoy communication. Some people here are angry, but why, guys? Make friends, be nice, share what you think, and you won’t feel lonely anymore!
