Santarchy in the UK!!!

Over the hills with the beards of a hundred Santas....

LONDON: Saturday 15th December sees the first Santacon UK and you are
invited to attend. Santacon is an event invented in the US by the
Cacophony Society and imported to these shores by Iain Aitch [Santa Two
Eyes] and Ian Lowey [Santa One Eye].
Santacon involves 100 Santas on a drunken [if you like] spree through
London. Starting in the north and working its way through the shopping
centres, bars and plazas of our city. Santacon is a celebration of being
Santa and the spirit of Xmas. It is also a social experiment, exploring
how people react to 100 Santas moving en-masse. Dirty carols will be
sung, Santas will carouse with each other and authorities will be
perplexed. Mimes will be mooned, jugglers jiggled and fire eaters fucked
with. Ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho.
The evening will end with some kind of event somewhere, probably.

His/her name is Santa and he dances on the Strand

YOU are invited to be one of the 100. Santas can be of all ages, sexes
and sizes [padding optional]. The only requirement is that you dress as
Santa. Details will be forthcoming on where to score the cheapest Santa
outfit, or you can make your own. Sexy Santas, hotpant Santas and
wrestling masked Santas are all welcome. Please pass this mail on to
anyone else who you feel may want to be Santa too.
Santa has his own views on globalisation, the war and the like, but he
will not be exhibiting those during Santacon. Santacon is not a protest
or a demo, it is a works outing for the hardworking wannabe Santas
amongst us. Ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho.
The Elves will not be attending, as they have overtime to do if they
want to be able to feed their families. Sorry about that.

All you need is a Santa outfit, a travelcard and a hip flask [optional].

Reply to this email to confirm your interest and sign up for details of
the when and the where.

The Santa hotline is now operational and will be available throughout
Santacon UK. Call 07949 753487. The email is santacon@hotmail.com
This number/email address can also be used by members of the press.
Please note that ALL those wishing to join Santa's happy band must wear
Santa outfits, even if you do own a Microcassette recorder.
