Los Angeles: Santacon!

Santacon, or Santarchy as it is also known, is an annual event worldwide with Santas getting together to have a good time. Santacon is known for its bawdiness, pranks, and harmless behavior.

These photos were taken at Los Angeles Santa Con in 2005. I didn't post all the pictures I took. If I took a picture of you at Santacon (likely,) shoot me an email at kathryn [a] kosmonaut dot net and send me a photo of you. If I have a shot of you, I will happily send it along.
