Boston Santacon 2011: Update 1

Listen up, all Ye Merry Santas and Elves:
We're 2 weeks away from Go Time. Here's some info from Santa to all you Krazy Kringles:

• Four F's - Who remembers the Four Fs?
• Costumes - Ya got those Santa Pants screwed on yet?
• Updates - We're just getting warmed up ...

* * *
I'm sure a lot of you Snowflakes remember the Four F's from past Santacons, but Santa's gonna remind you anyway. If you're new to the Red Felt Rampage, the Four Fs keep Santas safe and out of trouble, so you better drill this 'til it comes outta your mouth faster than Ho-Ho-Hos or last night's Nog!

What are the Four F's?

• Don't fuck with kids!
• Don't fuck with cops!
• Don't fuck with security!
• Don't fuck with Santa!

And remember: There's no "Bail Fund" for Incarcerated Santas. Any Santas that cross the fun line into asshole land will be told to leave immediately. It's our gracious attitude and good spirit that keeps Santa welcome at these bars. So if you see any Poser Santas breaking the rules, tell them to knock it the fuck off immediately or they’ll get their furry fannies paddled ‘til they fudge their flannels!

Big day is only 2 weeks away! If you haven't got a costume, you'd best figure that shit out!

You don't have to come as Santa, but you gotta wear a costume. So come as Santa, or an upside down Christmas tree, or Rudolph the Russian Mobster Reindeer, or Santa, or a Ginger Bread Cookie, or an Elf, or Frosty, or Santa, or Charles Dickens, or ...

This the first of the Updates for all you Naughty & Nicey St. Nicks: as the days count down, more updates will follow just to make sure you've screwed your Santa Pants on right!

This year's route is nearly completed, just awaiting confirmation from a couple bars. Once the route is set, an update will go out with a link to the Google Map. Like last year, we're trying to find a route with plenty of spill-over bars, which gets kinda tricky. There are TONS of great bars, but the past couple years have been too much Santa for any one bar to hold. It's not easy to find multiple neighborhoods with multiple bars all linked by a route for a few hundred Santas to stumble.

Our flier/poster will be sent out and posted in a couple days. In the upcoming week, updates will also get posted around to a bunch of sites. No one should have any trouble finding details. But if you know somebody who wants to attend and can't figure out how to search the Tubes, feel free to email Santa Boston directly!

the clock is counting down! so you'd better watch out! you'd better not cry!
Merry as hell,
Santa Boston
