    It has come to my attention that some do not know what SantaCon is. Here is some helpful info (NOTE: SantCon is also known as SantArchy. They are one and the same):

    Tribe:
    santacon.tribe.net

    The Official Site with location links (Lexington's will be up soon)
    www.santacon.com/

    San Fransisco SantaCon Pictures (the original location):

    And here's a great video of the SF Santas descending the crookedest street (great to get some costuming ideas):

    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 holiday cheer, goodwill, and fun. There is no good reason to dress up in cheap Santa suits, run around town, sing songs, 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. Santarchy is not a movement (that's what you do in the bathroom). We are not a protest against Christmas or commercialization. Really, it's just a bunch of Santas getting together to have a good time. Everyone loves Santa and Santa loves everyone!

    I'll be posting more details closer to the date.
    HO!

          Okay - in the meantime, mark your calendar for UK's Open Studio on Dec 7th (Friday).
          UK's Art Dept's studios are open door that night ! They are located in the Reynold's Building - and for a donation at the door, there are awards, food, art, LOTS art, and a whole lotta fun. It's big event the Grad students throw every year.

          (((we'll swap flyers!)))

            OK, calendar is marked, but PLEASE do me a big favor and remind me of this closer to the date, Karine. (Yeah, I'm that busy AND that lazy, heh.) Jennifer and I would love to attend and support one of our favorite artists!
