Santa Rampage: Saturday Night (Dec. 12)

SANTA RAMPAGE!!!
Downtown Champaign
Saturday December 12, 2009
Starts: Tumble Inn, 7:30 p.m.

I'm late in reminding you this year, but there's still time for you to get a costume of sorts ready! Clint and I have proudly attended every single Champaign Santa Rampage.

There have been 2, and the second was better than the first, so it stands to reason that The Third Annual will be a great night.

Here's what you do:

1. Put on something Santa-y.


If you don't have your own Santa suit (who doesn't?) follow this guy's lead and borrow a sweater from your mother:


2. Meet us at The Tumble Inn at 7:30 Saturday night.

3. Enjoy a beverage.

4. Follow us.

Or, from the Santa Rampage group on Facebook:

Santa Rampage is a pub crawl that takes place in major cities all over the world involving tens of thousands of Santa's. It is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious & non-sensical celebration of holiday cheer, goodwill, and fun.

There is no good reason to dress up in cheap Santa suits, run around town, sing songs, have strangers sit on our laps, and decide who is naughty or nice—but it's a lot of fun—so Santa does it anyway. Our goal for ’09 is to triple the Santa’s from last year, so we’re shooting for 90+ Santa’s on this pub crawl!

There's an article in the E3 of Thursday's News Gazette about this event. I'll link to it when it's online

See you Saturday. I'll be the one dressed as Santa.
