Five-star Yelp rated San Francisco Santarchy has taken over the city today, just as it did in 2009 and 2008 and 2007 and 2006 and 2005 and 2004 and 2003 and 2002 and 2001 and 2000 and so on.
See?

Enjoy the slideshow.
Now, Kay Vasilyeva has this tip:
“Santarchy in my hood = 30-something and up dudes. Santarchy in the Marina = girls with no pants on. You’re welcome for the tip.”
O.K. then.
Let’s hope nobody gets arrested this year.
All the deets plus links to Santarchy worldwide:

Via Steve Rhodes comes a few images of Santarchy. Yes, San Francisco SantaCon 2009 managed to march through Union Square today.
SC09 is bigger and better than 2007 or 2008. Is the Red Tide coming your way?
The temporarily-widened sidewalks of Powell Street are no safe haven for boozing Saint Nicolaseses. Look out Santa, it’s the cops!
A detention and citation for this fellow:
Busting for drinking in public – a 12-ounce Tecate was the weapon:
It really is like a red tide – at 17th and Castro and Market in front of the Twin Peaks bar:
And the regulars at the Triple Crown had a surprise today:
How many more Santas will get cited?
When will it end?

Take a look at this excellent slideshow here to see what Santarchy looks like on the streets of San Francisco.
Sometimes you’ll be minding your own business at Hooters or on the ferry and then BAM! Santas everywhere.
The scene this chilly afternoon in the Mission District. Click to expand:

Santacon 2008 continues today so look out!
Or just follow the action from Twitter, below. (This kind of thing is part of the reason Why They Hate Us, so enjoy.)
Merry Christmas!
