You too can join in the Santarchy fun…<\/p>\n
Santarchy 2005<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.gmpseattle.com\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n One unsuspecting city Never heard of Santarchy? You're in for a treat.<\/p>\n Saturday, December 10th, starting at 12 noon, hundreds of men and women dressed as Santa Claus will begin their annual day-long march through the city of Seattle. And all over the world Santas will be coming together this month to march on their own cities — from McMurdo, Antarctica<\/a> to Auckland, New Zealand<\/a>; Barcelona, Spain<\/a> to Tokyo, Japan<\/a>; Helsinki, Finland<\/a> to Seattle, Washington<\/a>. Think of it like swallows flying back to Capistrano, or the Monarch butterflies making their migration to Central America. Okay, maybe it's a little more like lemmings throwing themselves off cliffs — but it's still a LOT of fun!<\/p>\n But Why and How, you ask?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Organized for over a decade now by Cacophony Societies<\/a> in cities all over the world, Santarchy (aka Santacon) has become an annual tradition in cities everywhere, providing an opportunity for costume-crazy-cacophonists to hit the streets together for a day of fun and mischief. It all started in San Francisco, but (like all good things) it's spread to every corner of the world.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n Last year, Santarchy wandered the streets of Downtown Seattle, including marching through Pike Place Market, singing 'carols' at the Opera House, touring the Library, shopping at a Fetish Bazaar at Seattle Center, dancing outside the Nutcracker, riding the Carousel at Westlake Park, tipping strippers at The Lusty Lady, enjoying indoor snow at Pacific Place, and (of course) drinking in lots of bars. Dirty Bunny and several other Guerrillas took part last year, passing out altered stuffed animals and candy canes and we took lots of pictures.<\/a> And if you're worried, Santas in Seattle have fun, but they don't get themselves into trouble with police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You too can join in the Santarchy fun… Santarchy 2005 http:\/\/www.gmpseattle.com\/ One unsuspecting city Hundreds of Santas Hours of fun Never heard of Santarchy?
