At least, the ones I've met seemed to come from all around just to participate. They call themselves the "Santa Cons" (or something homonymous).

The original idea was to go to Macys and have so many Santas just before Christmas that it confused people. It was a Cacophony Society event, but after the event a bunch of the Santas went out and got drunk at a nearby watering hole. That proved to be even more fun I guess and brought the police into the scene. Well, the popularity grew and now - voila! The world of drunken Santas! Yes, you are correct in your summation Jeme! But then Cacophony ended up a place for Losers (IMHO of course). Merry Jolly to all! - - c ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V13 #366 ********************************
