Two hundred Santas, a mennorah, and a red M&M in a Justin Bieber Santa hat with a boom-box walk into a bar.....oh and two NYPD cops, too...
No punch line. It's just Santacon NYC, an adults-only festive fundraiser that's also a bar crawl. Unless, you're us and hang out at one bar all day.
Wanna learn more? Of course, you do. Here's a message from the Santacon website:
Santacon: It's Not Just Bros Puking in Your Neighborhood!
Santa Claus isn't just a menace to all that is good and holy: he also brings presents! On Saturday (December 15th), sixty venues who participated in NYC Santacon donated a portion of the day's proceeds to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation: as of right now, they've reported $20,000, with a projected total of $45,000.
All Santacon participants were asked to bring two cans of food to support local food banks. Santas donated 6,850 lbs of canned food at the event's starting point, which City Harvest is distributing. Twenty-two venues also collected canned food from Santas, the total weight of which will be available soon.
Merry Christmas!

Children of the '90s don't need much of an excuse to party, but partying for a good cause is particularly effective for our philanthropically-minded generation. Have a few beers and save the world? I mean, really, who's gonna complain?
No one, hopefully. However, as I people watched on the corner of Restaurant and 9th, many a locals lamented in the madness that was NYC on December 15th. Some people even hide out for the day...
But that's lame. Santacon is for everyone (21 and older_, including Justin Timberlake, who has already gone on the record saying he will participate in Santacon NYC 2013.
In general, this annual celebration is just good festive fun for all who know how to hold their alcohol. Those who can't just ruin the fun.
Love,
Cupid (that's me...I even have a name tag, see below)
