Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

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.

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

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 information on to anyone else who you feel may want to be Santa too. All you need is a Santa outfit, a travelcard and a hip flask [optional].

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

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.
