You better watch out, you better not cry: Santarchy is coming to town.

For the first time, Tacoma will experience the growing international phenomenon known as Santarchy, which basically involves a swarm of drunks dressing up in fake beards and cheap Santa suits, then drinking more.

It's like being homeless, but with more candy canes.

The fun starts at 6 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Swiss, then moves on via giant yellow school bus. Stay in the loop at www.myspace.com/tacomasantarchy.

Niki tells me:
"I think they have something like this in Portland, but the Santas all drink some THC-laden tea or something. I can’t remember ... I just know that I woke up with a headache and a sack full of other children’s toys. kidding."

I'm not so sure she's kidding.

Stay tuned for GritCity's Guide to Santarchy, along with some tips on how to find out who's been naughty and who's been naughtier.
