Yesterday the band of merry-making misfits bedecked in red and white (and other creative adaptations) Santa suits hit the rainy streets of Los Angeles for the annual SantaCon. They started at Philippe's in Downtown, and made their way to various points throughout the day. Although they stopped inside spots to get dry, staying dry wasn't on the menu; looks like the Santas had plenty opportunities to get their drink on. Luckily they were moving around town via Metro, so there were no drunken sleigh crashes affiliated with the outing. more ›

This is an annual event aimed more at the naughty (although, hey, there's fun for the nice, too). It's SantaCon, a send up of sorts of the absurdity and kitsch of the Christmas season. Or, as the organizer puts it: "Santacon is a response to the consumer-culture of Amerika's Holiday season." more ›

Here at LAist, we all hope you are enjoying your holiday season! Just for fun, here's a throwback to a fews weeks ago when SantaCon took over the streets, previously covered here and here. Cheers! more ›

What's red and white and drunk all over (town)? Well, today, that would be Santacon. more ›
