Re: SF santacon complaint thread
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 1:04 PMIt was fun/new to be in OAK/Berk. I just wish we'd have known a week in advance. I live in SSF, but 90% of my friends live in Oakland. If it were not for this fact and my wanting to be with them, I would have stayed in the city with those Santi.
My hat is in the ring for planning a Santa bar crawl for next year. I hope there is also a con. But we'll see.
One thing is that there was so much I missed from last year. I loved the Santa games in the park. I loved Hooters and Klezmer band. I loved riding the escallators in Macy's. And I missed walking around in SF, it's such a grand place and I hardly ever get to go there. But I'm in Berkeley and Oakland all the time. -

Mon, December 17, 2007 - 1:16 PMI never get to go to SF anymore, now that I live in AZ. I was looking forward to getting to walk around the City dressed as Santa, but it didn't work out that way. Oh well.

Re: SF santacon complaint thread
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 1:15 PMwell shit, where do i start?
i didn't particularly like the fact that there wasn't enough room on the ferry for all the santii. that pretty much sucked real hard. i mean, i know running this thing is a lot of work, but how hard would it have been to call ahead and find out the capacity of the ferry?
at least we had the klezmer band with us...made it a little easier to endure being left behind...
HO!

Re: SF santacon complaint thread
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 1:23 PMno complaints. I got hurt.. my feet are wrecked. My body is damaged. I got drunk of my own accord. As for the organizers... I feel so bad for them. They do all this planning... (whether it is good or bad) and get ripped apart.
Thanks for what you do, anyhoo.
All I say is next year we find the highest concentration of bars in the shortest amount of distance. I want to hit more bars next year. I brought so much booze, if I had hit more, I would have been dead on the spot. So I guess it all went perfectly.

Re: SF santacon complaint thread
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 2:06 PMI can appreciate all the work that went into the planning of this event, which wound up not being as cool as I thought, and most of my group said it was much more lame than last year.
Where our organizers failed us was in not letting us know the event was not going to be in the city. I was expecting a San Francisco event, not an Oakland event. Talk about bait and switch.
It would also have been nice to know in advance to buy ferry tickets. I could have done that on line or prior to the meet up at pier 39.
I think they should have released the stops like Portland did. I don't like all the secrecy. But had they told us in advance that we'd be in OAK. I bet half the Santas or better would have stayed in SF with the ones who couldn't get on the boat.
I'd give this a grade of C-. -

Wed, December 19, 2007 - 11:14 AMI am still sort of okay with having extra fairy tickets for a fun jaunt to the EB and back. Maybe go to musee mechanique.
I love this bay area.
