Santarcy/Santacon occupy's Seattle

This past Saturday, Santa's took to the streets and local establishments for some holiday fun. Every year across the country and world, people gather dressed as Santa. This was my second year so I knew what to expect. Below was the pre-plan:

The Plan: 11:30 - 12-30 Eric's place Pizza and BYOB.
Leaving Eric's place at 12:30 and going to Republic
Leaving Republic at 1pm and going to Brave Horse
Leaving Brave Horse at 1:30 and walking to Santa at the 5point area.

From the North Meeting Point:
12:00 - 12:30pm Gather
12:45-2:00pm Sport Bar, Zeek Pizza, 5-Point
2:00-3:15pm Spitfire & Two Bells Tavern

At Eric's place, before heading to the first bar (Brave Horse-we were already behind schedule)



On the walk to Brave Horse, we came upon this pig, Alice and Chuck couldn't resist



Alison could only drink from the side



Chris (aka Hip Hop Santa-last year) rocking his speakers



Look we even met Ralphie!

Elephant and Castle was packed with Santa's inside and out. Felt a little bad for the patrons having something to eat before going to see Cinderella at the 5th Ave. But many of them were taking photos, so I think they enjoyed the pre-show.

From the pictures above, we did make it Elephant and Castle, but not many others and I wasn't one of the folks at Neighbors. I was back at the hotel and in bed at about 9pm...same as last year!
