Victoria SantaCon

Victoria is such a beautiful, quaint city. I have not been there for about four years. I went over this past weekend with some friends to participate in Victoria SantaCon.

What an amazing cacophony event. We started at Big Bad John's Bar, went to a string of bars, picked up a Santa flying in at Harbour Air, sang carols, played Twister, Soprano's for karaoke, and Monty's for strippers.



We also tried to go to the Fairmont Empress lounge for a drink, but it could not accommodate our large group of 80 Santas. Lucky's Bar and Hush were also not having Christmas Cheer. Hugo's was a fun stop, but they did not have enough staff to keep Santa merry. Swan was fantastic though with a great live band.

The Jellyfish was very pretentious-pathetic basement chic. Overpriced drinks in a stark, plain white basement room. I think the staff and patrons were terrified of us. But Santa just wanted to drink and be merry.
