Santacon came and went and I didn't even notice. Every year, hundreds of Portlanders dress up in Santa Claus suits in order to wreck havoc on the city's core. In the past, they've gone on rampages through Lloyd Center department stores while clashing heads with PPD. While the annual fest seems to have calmed down in recent years but hundreds upon hundreds of drunken Santas would have made for great photo opps.

Here's M.E. Russell's cartoon take on the preparations. For photos from the event(s), just follow the link above.
