North Portland Santacon Pictures & Video + 2010 Info | "NOPDX Anticon"
December 3, 2010 — PDXPIPELINEFirst off, this is not associated with the actual trademarked and fought over name “Sanatcon”. We put that in the title, because that is how people associate dressing up as Santa and having a good rampage around town this time of year. Also, the rules are copied from the “UK Santacon” on the site…so please Santaconers…save your hate comments/mail. Just trying to point people to North Portland to have fun…

Some things to keep in mind…copied from the UK Santacon
1-The "route and schedule" is open to liberal interpretation by Santa at all times. There is no head Santa in charge to call. If you can't show up for the start or get lost, get the mobile number of someone who can help you catch up later. Depending on the year there may be guiding Santas, שּׁšags to follow or some technological Santanav system, or you may wish to come up with your own idea to help Santa ï¬nd their way.
2-Santa dresses for all occasions. It's December. Smart Santas wear layers. Dress to maximize merriment whether singing christmas carols in the snow, or dancing manically in the shopping centre.
3-Santa doesn't whine! We will be outside much of the early day and covering a lot of ground on foot — bring a bottle of water and enough "snacks" to keep your pie-hole ï¬lled until we get indoors.
4-Bring small gifts — NAUGHTY gifts to give grown ups; NICE stuff to give kids. Visit a pound shop, wrap up coal, sweets and brussels sprouts; Santa loves stickers, hug vouchers and mistletoe.
5-Watching Santa get drunk can be fun. Babysitting Santa while they vomit in an alley or breaking up ï¬ghts is not. Don't be that Santa. You are responsible for yourself! Pace your drinking and be nice to your fellow Santa.
6-Twisting the Christmas paradigm until it screams for mercy is fun! Getting arrested is not. Have your own special surreal fun, but DON'T F*CK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US. Santas do not destroy property, steal merchandise, or do harm to others. The authorities and local businesses usually take Santa's antics in the loving, festive spirit that Santa intends, if we are nice to them.
