The route has been finalized.
It will not be posted before the event.
Here is what you need to know:
Read this entire page. There is contest info at the bottom.
Here is some more important information:
Print out and bring a copy or two of the Santarchy
Carol Book
YOU MUST BE IN FULL CHRISTMAS COSTUME!
Slacks and a hat are *NOT* christmas costume. An ugly sweater is
DEFINITELY NOT christmas costume. There are events for that stuff, but
this event is not one of them.
It would be really nice of you to bring a new toy or stuffed animal to Dos Gringos. I suggest something in the $10-$30 range. We are collecting toys for Toys for Tots. Santa Larry is the point person for this, so FIND HIM at Dos Gringos and drop your toy off!!!!!
The only other bar which we will mention before the event is The
Firehouse. We have worked out *FREE DRINKS* at The Firehouse, but you
need to jump through some really simple hoops to get them. Simply bring
two nice cans of food and drop them off at The Firehouse. You can drop
them off earlier in the day (tell them Santarchy sent you) in exchange for
a drink ticket. The drink ticket can then be redeemed when Santarchy
eventually gets to The Firehouse later in the event. You can also carry
them around with you all day until we get to The Firehouse where you can
exchange them.
See The Firehouse website for
information on their hours and location.
The event will start promptly at 5:00PM (17:00 hours, MST) at Dos Gringos in Scottsdale, Arizona.
It's going to be cold. Bring gloves.
This is very important. You will be a Santa in a huge group of Santas. Lines at some bars will be long. This is inevitable, though we have tried our best to mitigate this as much as possible. This Santa is a huge fan of sneaky drinks that you can hide outside of bars that you want to enter. Do not bring outside drinks into any bar or restaurant. And remember that drinking alcohol on the streets is illegal. Santa does not have any special permits or permission to be exempt from these laws.
Finally, by showing up, you acknowledge that being Santa can be risky business. You accept all consequences that could potentially arise from your personal participation and any participation of others which may affect you. AKA: Bring your own bail.
Book your hotels for the Old-Town Scottsdale area. We'll be starting and ending the night in this area!
- Bring ID
- Bring cash for drinks (don't forget the tip!).
- Bring cell phone. Please make sure you or someone in your group subscribes to the Arizona Cacophony Society Swaggle Group or follows us on Twitter.
- Bring comfy shoes and warm clothes.
- Bring candy and crap for the patrons we meet.
- Bring a camera (tag your photos with phxsantarchy11 on flickr.com).
- Bring your loud ass and your singing pipes.
- Bring your Santarchy Carol Book
- BRING YOUR OWN BAIL!
We have decided to give an award to one lucky Santa in each of these categories:
- Best in show Santa
- That's just wrong Santa! [1]
- Most Musical Santa [2]
- Female Sexy Santa
- Male Sexy Santa
- Santa of the Bridge
To enter is simply you get a number from Trevor Ellermann! He will be attempting to give every Santa a number. All you have to do is show any judge who asks your number. Winners will be announced at the final bar / the after party. You must be present at the end to win.
We will not be collecting any entry fees so the prizes will be of similar value. The winner of each prize will get their photo posted on the website[3]!
As with all AZ Cacophony events, bribing judges and other shenanigans is encouraged!
So get out your sexy Santa suite, grab your favorite musical instrument, practice your most "wrong" jokes and behavior and we will see you on the 17th!
