Santarchy, Santa Stampede, Santa Rampage.
How do I love thee?

These are my photos from Santarchy 2002 in San Francisco.
I really didn't get many good ones, I was mostly too busy doing something naughty.
There sure were a lot of photos being taken though, someone else put yours online!

I estimate there were about 100 Santas (and one Christmas Bunny) participating in a mad santa crawl that started in Oakland, crossed on the ferry, bumrushed the Mission (where I joined the festivities), took BART from 24th Street to Powell, seriously upset consumers in union square, visited the Lusty Lady (I probably shouldn't have licked the glass), sowed the seeds of future therapy sessions for dozens of innocent children, and spread through North Beach like an evil red fog. Amazingly no one got arrested, even when the bunny and I hopped through an open window onto a moving yuppy party trolley, danced around and jumped back out. And even with eSanta sprayfoaming "Ho!" on passing cars right in front of the cops.
