and then drink, drank, drunk, eat them biscuits, puke, and thrash the neighborhood.

Missing on that list is the mecca of them all fratdouchebro bar 13th Step. Santacon is their annual pilgrimage to visit their unholy place of them all.

SLIGHTLY SEXIST COMMENT ALERT!

.....ALL others, leave IMMEDIATELY!

I saw a sign on the door at 13th Step that they were opening at 9:30 AM today.

Christmas has officially jumped the shark. It's time to cancel the holiday completely.

Christian holiday celebrating birth of Christ -> consumer shopping frenzy -> drunken hooliganism.

Agree with East Villager @ 12:20... The only difference is I usually avoid the inside of places like 13th step, but today I have to avoid the whole block...

This is the evolution of Christmas caroling.

Sad to see that 7B (Vazac's) is allowing santas...then again it's not much of a haven on weekends to begin with.
