| Info: | Please forward this message liberally to all friends and email lists. What is Santarchy? Santarchy takes place in major cities all over the world involving tens of thousands of Santas. It is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious & non-sensical celebration of cheer, goodwill, and fun. There is no good reason to dress up in cheap Santa suits, run around town, sing songs, get drunk, have strangers sit on our laps, and decide who is naughty or nice -- but it's a lot of fun -- so Santa does it anyway. Everyone loves Santa and Santa loves everyone! In Ottawa, Santa is gathering on Saturday December 17th with a list of naughty places to visit. Santa's Rules: 1. Be Jolly. 2. Santa apparel is mandatory. A Santa hat is not enough. Get a Santa suit. Make a Santa suit. Steal a Santa suit. Buy a Santa suit. If you don't have any money, be creative. If you don't have any creativity, slap yourself three times and ask your mom to help you. Glue cotton balls to red long johns. Make it purple. Make it pink. Already have a Santa suit? Make a spare so Santa can assimilate strangers. Past examples: pimp Santa/Santa garcia/Santa's naughty little helper/misfit toy/elf/reindeer. Traditional suits can be bought at local party stores or ordered online for $12 and up. Santa's Reminders: 1. The schedule is open to liberal interpretation by Santa. If you can't show up for the start, get the cell number of someone who can talk you in later. 2. Santa does not make children cry (unless they whine, snivel, or otherwise deserve it). Really - If you see kids, give them nice toys, candy, or something pleasant. Feel free to urinate on their parents. 3. Watching Santa get drunk and obnoxious is fun. Babysitting Santa while they vomit in an alley is not. 4. Twisting the holiday paradigm until it screams for mercy is fun! Getting arrested is not. Santa Claus is friendly and cooperative with cops, security guards and secret service agents, and doesn't break any laws (unless they're stupid and deserve to be broken). 5. Bring gifts -- Naughty gifts to give grown ups; nice stuff to give kids. Throwing coal at Parliament is discouraged (see #4 above). 6. Pay your own god damn bar tab. 7. The answer to important questions that may arise: Who's in charge? "Santa" What organization are you with? "Santa" What are you protesting? "Shitty holiday parties" How did you get here? "A sleigh and eight tiny reindeer" Where are you going? "I'm only allowed to tell you if you dress like Santa" Santa's "Schedule": Santa needs to arrive by 7pm! Late arriving Santa will be playing catch-up and will miss much pre-bar fun. 6:00-6:30 Santa meets at D'Arcy McGee's Pub, 44 Sparks street, on the corner of Elgin and Sparks. 6:30-7ish Santa visits Parliament Hill, then marches through Rideau Center, somehow ending up at The Pour House (location ?!) 8ish, next pub... etc etc... midnight: All santas left standing head to the after party.
