the Red Tide strikes again

So Santacon was a hit. I had a blast. Here are some pics.




Normal and I gettin' warmed up... and Vanessa (in wheelchair, due to injury), Mattshaw (in fez), and myself walking down Vermont...






...we visit El Ron and cause general mayhem...a little vandalism along the way...and then we pour into the subway...




...more mobbing the subway (there really were that many of us)...emerging Downtown at Union Station and Olvera Street...




...we drink a lot at Olvera Street (even though we'd all been drinking by the time we met up at the House of Pies)...accost some hapless Asian tourists, suddenly awash in a sea of red in the Union Station terminal...





...back on the Gold Line, getting progressively more loaded, we head to Highland Park...some dog likes us...we mob some homie's house (no one still knows who lived there)...





...I was pretty drunk by now so I don't know where this picture was taken...we're really toasted on the subway by now...and then, in Old Town Pasadena, several Santas take one for the team...



...but the best part was giving candy to the kids. :)

And not waking up in a gutter.
