#10 The whole gang showed up
Santas, reindeer, Jesus and other late-December icons partied 400 deep on Saturday night at Dallas Santa Rampage, 2012. After an initial meet-up at Mockingbird Station, the gang spread cheer the responsible way: by piling onto public transport and infiltrating neighborhood watering holes. Peppermint schnapps sales reached a record-breaking high, according to nobody, and the unseasonably warm temperatures allowed the outfits to get skimpier than ever before. Many stockings were hung.
And really, isn’t that the true meaning of the holidays? We think so. We ripped through photographer Danny Hurley’s list of Rampage evidence and picked out our ten, most Nog-approved favorites. Here they are, the absolute best scenes from that un-silent night.
