4. SONG BOOK Santa Sings. Print out the linked Santacon Song Book. Maybe print an extra or two for forgetful and printerless Santa. There are some other fun things for Santa to print http://www.plaidtherapy.com/santa
5. ATTIRE You must come in holiday attire. A Santa hat is not enough. There are $10 Santa suits on Wall Street in the Toy District of downtown and Hollywood Costume usually has Santa Suits for about $45. Sexy Santa outfits were just down the street at Bizzy B's on Hollywood Blvd.

Santacon has become the Cacophony Society's most popular event. Cacophonists are “a randomly gathered network of free spirits united in the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society.” (Read more at :: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacophony_Society). Santacon is not something you go to watch. You attend Santacon as a participant. You are the art. The city is our canvas. (You are also responsible for your own behavior.)
See you at 11am.
