SANTACON FAQ
Q: What is SantaCon?
A: SantaCon is your opportunity to be Santa!
Q: Is this some kind of political statement?
A: No. It’s fun and only fun.
Q: Who’s in charge?
A: Santa.
HOW IT BEGAN
The first SantaCon took place in San Francisco in 1994 and was sponsored by The San Francisco Cacophony Society.
The original inspiration came from an earlier SF adventure club called The Suicide Club who’s founder came up with the idea after reading an article about a Danish political who mobbed a Copenhagen Department store just before Christmas. However, the first American and all subsequent SantaCons around the world are non-political, purely surreal Santa prank events.

A Noisy Colony of Seagulls
Last week, I engaged a noisy colony of Seagulls plunge-diving for live food on the coast of Seacliff State Beach, near the S.S. Palo Alto Cement Ship. The surround sound of their harsh wailing and squawking calls gave an unusually tense feeling to the experience.
