Santarchy 2005

This year is my third, and Dav's umpteenth time. Santarchy is Dav's FAVORITE event (well, 2nd to Burning Man). I think the utter chaos, silliness, and all out obnoxious celebration of Santa-ness, both naughty and nice, is what gets Dav.

Unfortunately, this year was a raining storm. So instead of a parade of hundreds of drunk Santas bar hopping, we got broken up into smaller groups, wandering from bar to bar looking for fellow Santas. Too much walking, in my opinion. I froze!

Extra cool was that Marcus, Dav's bro, joined for the first time as a punk Santa. Estrella came as Elvis Santa (she made the outfit from scratch, and was in my opinion, the best Santa this year), and we later met up with Sean, Lani, Ellen (as seen holding a dildo when a bunch of us Santas passed Good Vibrations and couldn't resist visiting), Manisha, and Supratim.

Of course, it wasn't until the evening that we finally met up with everyone (Santarchy started at noon-ish). We were sitting in Pilsner with about 20~30 Santas, when a Muni bus full of Santas stopped. As they flowed into the bar, we all cheered. Don't know our number then...but I'm sure it wasn't all the SF Santas...

Although freezing cold, it was another fun year! Dav has a flickr set with more pics.
