Tomorrow, I'm off to do my eighth one. After so many years or participation, this is still one of the greatest and happiest days of the year for me.

Just googled it, sounds like a fun event.
Do you dress as Santa ?

Sounds like fun. There's one in Cape Town tomorrow, according to the website, but I'll be at an old friend's wedding.

Thank you.
I hope you get this message.Comments welcome.
Tons of folks wanted pics of me/with me throughout the day. The usual whenever I nail a costumed event.
Sexy legs!
Nah, Santacon has grown to the point of ridiculousness. When I started in 2005, it was only about 1500 of us and a fair mix of gay and straight all hung out together. But now that it's grown to about 40,000, it's become ridiculous. Every bar between midtown Manhattan and the Lower East Side stretching into Williamsburg Brooklyn were filled with Santas. Too many, and the straight contingent is overpowering. If I wanted to hook up with someone, I'd likely have to segregate myself into a group of gay Santas. But most of my friends are straight, though.
I've gotten some ass about four times in the last two weeks, though, so I could probably slow down anyway.
Gay bars did.
I could've gone to gay stops, but I was more concerned with hanging with my friends (who are all straight).
Back when I first started doing Santacon, I didn't need to go to gay bars to meet gay people. It's gotten so crowded that you have to now. And that upsets me. This Santacon, I was more concerned with just hanging with the friends I was with than trying to hook up.
I wasn't in "hook up" mode anyway. If I was, I wouldn't have worn a costume that covered up so much of my face.
This is my eighth one. Going in a simple Santa costume will not suffice. I've always loved Mexican Wrestler masks, so I thought I'd make a Mexican Wrestler. Named him "The Holiday Defender."
