Darn, wish I had seen this yesterday. Next year!
Regardless of if it's an official Santacon, me and a rag tag group will be downtown spreading the cheer the way we've learned to from the good old days. Shame the organized one is all secret, I was fine with them having their after party, but to hide this altogether is silly.
Yo. Yo. Yo. The first four posts were made by the same unauthorized Santa in a whiskeyed up state. He has since been tied in a red velvet bag and beaten. Santacon starts at the Wedge at 2pm, Sat December 4th. All Santi are welcome.
Since when did Santarchy become the cool kids club? Every other city is easy access, but not Asheville. Are we a bunch of fucking hipsters now?
The more the Merry'er? Secrets about Santa Con Asheville??? I guess it will never add up then like larger more friendly cities. Guess I won't make it this year since it's such a big secret! Weak! Private cool kids party only. Ho Ho Hopeless.
Dang. Now I'll never learn the secret password. Good thing I have a Plan B too.
Really? There's a rule about not talking about Santa Con? Then why is it plastered all over the Santa Con website?
Also, nobody seemed too upset about it last year, when folks we're telling people all over town about where to meet up.
I'm not trying to harsh anyone's mellow, but I figure the more folks who know and participate, the more fun it would be.
But if the cool kids want to keep the party to themselves, go for it . Have fun without the rest of us.
I must be a part of this.
Posting about this publicly is about as cool as telling a friend "Guess what?!? Your friends are all planning a surprise party for you in two weeks! Isn't that great?"
It's like going to a movie and during the opening scene go "THAT'S THE GUY WHO DID IT!! RIGHT THERE!! YOU'LL SEE AT THE END!"
It's also kind of like having to tell an old friend they're not invited because the party travels in a vehicle that's just so big and we didn't save you a seat.
Yeah, it's mostly like that last one. Ashvegas. Dude. We didn't save you a seat.
I've never personally seen or been involved in an actual old-school tarring and feathering, but I think it would be a great addition this year's Santacon gathering. Whomever posted this and broke the only real rule would be the guest of honor, of course. A big crowd and/or a ruined surprise would absolutely destroy the event. Shame on you.
It is written: "The first rule of Santacon is don't talk about Santacon. Whomever remains clueless regarding rule one shall be assaulted with a fruitcake and thrown naked and screaming from the bus."
Booooooooooo. Perfect way to ruin a fun thing, Jason. Blabbing this up will be the perfect way to get it moved to the plan B date.
