It should be reasonably fairly Tame(tm) in the beginning.* You could skip in and skip out later. As to still going after 10pm, I'm sure Santa will still be crawling around.

*No provable felonies or recorded lewd sexual acts with circus animals.

Here's the thang... I'm probably going in to work early on Saturday and leaving by ??? I don't know the exact wheres and whens of Seattle SantaCon. Noon, I suppose? At the Market?

you said you had it off of work!!

I have trouble imagining us moving around on our (Seattle's) slimey buses with the ease that we moved around Portland in those MadMax trains (or whatever they call them.) I figured we'd mostly haunt Pioneer Square...

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 3:31 pm

I had the same thought...

but rob seems to have insider information...

Rob??

*sodden red lump on the floor rolls over... snores twice and wakes himself up... stumbles to the bar, drapes himself over it, places lips over the neck of a scotch bottle and falls asleep again. This time, he doesn't snore*

I'm going in to work WAAAY early, and will be out by 11:30 A.M. at the freakin' latest. This is going to be a long day. And you know who from Vancouver arrives the next day (shush!).

Here's the 'official' anouncement. (I would call a Santa phone when you get off and meet up).

Hey Santa!

Well, Portland's Santa was great, and we here in Seattle have a lot to
live up to. Now it's our turn to host and show our neighbors from the
south and north how we do it here in Seattle.

So Santa's got a great lineup of activities planned this year, including:
Santa Olympics! A public reading of Christmas stories at the new downtown
library! A live performance of the Nutcracker Suite outside McCaw Hall!
Indoor snow at Pacific Place!

The fun all starts at noon! If you can't make a nooner (bad Santa!), here
are a few planned stops where you can catch up.

Saturday, December 11

12pm @ the Pig - Pike Place Market

Sorry darlin, can't divulge the planning secrets.

800 pages! woo hoo!

Drinks are on the house!

Who's drinkin' what? Rob, a Windex, neat? Sensei, cherry coke with 3 cherries? Rian... hmmm, that one has me stumped...

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 3:43 pm

ah, well... thought I'd try...

I guess if I REALLY get in a bind, I'll just call Ivan...

*a blue parakeet walks into the bar. Feathers slightly bedraggled. She perches on the bar--but there's something slightly . . . finny about those talons. Perhaps there is an oder of seawater clinging to her like a perfume.*

Chirp!! How about those eplaya bugs? Too bad I'm a seed eating quasi sock.

Can I change my drink?

I'd like the Blood of Mine Enemies mixed half and half with the Milk of Human Kindness. Careful though, it might explode.

If not, it will make me want to kill coworkers while singing Kum Ba Ya.

Either way is good.

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 3:55 pm

No BBP, it's either Mr Clean in a bottle or Prince Albert in a can. Then you let them out.

BlueBirdPoof · Post by **BlueBirdPoof** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 3:58 pm

then may I offer Prince Albert with a piercing in a can?

*red soggy mass raises his head from the bottle*

800! Yay!!!!

*falls over, lips on scotch, out like a light*

As always if you or any of your team is caught or killed the admin assistant will disavow any knowledge of your existance.

And you know how I take my cherries, too; don't ya?

Dress warm, you crazy bastards. It's going to be colder and wetter than Portland, I'm afraid...
