DRESS UP AS SANTA AND TAKE OVER THE STREETS OF COLUMBUS WITH YOUR FRIENDS! PARTICIPANTS WILL ENJOY SPECIAL DEALS AT PARTICIPATING ARENA DISTRICT BARS!

SANTACON GUIDELINES:

1. Santa does not make children cry. Really, if you see kids, don't do anything to freak them out. Give them a nice smile and possibly a gift of some kind (toys, candy etc). Parents and tourists are a different matter altogether - adjust your behavior based on their attitude.
2. Santa dresses for all occasions. It's December. Smart santas wear multiple costume layers. Dress to maximize merriment whether singing Christmas carols in the snow, or swinging from a stripper pole in a hot nightclub.
3. Santa doesn't whine! We will be outside a lot and commuting mainly on foot - bring enough "snacks" to keep your pie-hole filled until we get indoors.
4. Bring gifts: NAUGHTY gifts to give grown ups; NICE stuff to give kids. Throwing coal at people is discouraged no matter who they are. YES THAT INCLUDES POLITICIANS. But giving out coal might actually be appreciated.
5. Watching santa get drunk and rowdy is fun. Babysitting santa while he vomits in an alley is not. Don't be that santa.
6. Make sure you always pay for your beer and tip the bar staff. We want to be able to do this again so be polite and cultivate the goodwill of the local community.
7. Please pay for your drinks as soon as you get them. Santas get tired of waiting on other santas to clear their tab before being able to move on. This entire adventure should be cash only.
8. "No santa's left behind!" Don't think only of yourself - Santa is not inconsiderate of his fellow santas like that. Pick a few people you know and keep an eye out for them when it's time to move to the next location. If you don't see them, speak up so other santas know to wait a moment. Every santa should have at least 2-3 other santas they look out for and 2-3 that look out for them in turn.
9. Stay with the group. It's not just a case of "the more, the merrier" - Santa is safer with large numbers of fellow santas and what one santa can't achieve (or get away with) is a possibility for 50 or more!
10. Dress up! You don't have to dress exactly like Santa. In fact, unusual interpretations of Santa-ness are much appreciated, both by those we bring joy to - as well as your fellow santas: elves, reindeer themes etc. are fine as well!
11. Please remember that this is all about having fun. Most santas like to take their fun with a little alcohol which is fine. What is not fine, however, is getting completely sh#t-faced to the point that santas end up being abusive or violent. Remember that there is no "bail fund" for incarcerated santas and if you cross the line you'll be on your own.
12. Santa doesn't drink & drive and neither should you. If you're going to drink you must make sure that you can get safely home without driving yourself. Check public transport, carpool with a designated sober driver, make arrangements to sleep over at someone's place etc. Organizers sometimes try to coordinate transportation to get santas safely home. Check the message boards and groups for your local SantaCon to find out if this is being done in your area.
13. You MUST address everyone as "Santa."
14. You SHOULD "ho-ho-ho" like Santa.
15. You OUGHT to give out gifts like Santa.
16. You MIGHT want to drink like Santa
17. Santa doesn't talk to the press. Even "Ho-ho-ho" is too dangerous these days.
18. Santa doesn't get arrested - please read Santa's "four f**ks" (top right) and then read these guidelines one more time.
19. If you have reached this rule, it means you didn't get locked into a loop reading the guidelines over and over again as per the previous rule. You are therefore intelligent enough to take part in SantaCon!
20. Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 Details for the event from GETDOT below:

We all know that everyone has FUN at GETDOT events, but we have something new for you! Join us for networking, a great evening and....wait for it...dueling pianos! On Thursday, September 15th, we'll be at the Big Bang Piano Bar in the Arena District, 401 N. Front Street.http://thebigbangbar.com/.

Doors will open at 5 PM, We'll do our networking thing, support the Charity thing, do our announcement thing and recognize our sponsors thing....then lookout...the pianos start going at 7 PM!!

We are supporting a new, and very unique, Charity...Flashes of Hope. Flashes of Hope changes the way children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for pediatric cancer research.
The portraits, taken by award-winning photographers, help children feel better about their changing appearance by celebrating it. For families of terminally ill children, it's especially important to have a portrait that preserves forever the beauty, grace and dignity of their child.

So, come on out, network and support a great Charity. We will have some awesome door prizes and all your raffle donations will go to Flashes of Hope.

We still need sponsorship support!! So, if you are interested in sponsoring this event and/or donating a door prize, contact Chip Ramsey or our new Business Partners Chair, Alissa Urick! Many of you attending GETDOT events are securing great business relationships and meeting some great connections...why not give back and get your organization's name out there!!

REMEMBER, GETDOT is now an official 501c3 non-profit organization, so all of your sponsorships and donations are 100% tax deductible!!

From all of us at the GETDOT Board, we are very grateful for your continued support, and we hope to see you all September 15th at the Big Bang Piano Bar!

Meet our Big Bang Superstar, KATE KARABINOS

 CONGRATS KATE!! 

 

We asked Kate, one of our Big Bang servers, a few questions 

 so we could ALL get to know her a little better :)

 

1. What is your favorite language other than your native language?

Spanish. Its the only other language I can somewhat understand!

2. If u were a t-shirt, what color/style would u be? Why?

I would be a blue t-shirt with the collar/neck part cut off. I like how it looks and feels..I need breathing room!

3. What do you often eat for breakfast?

I love Nutella, so I usually heat up a piece of whole wheat toast with Nutella spread. Coffee is also essential with amaretto cream. 

4. What is one of your BAD qualities?

I bite my nails when I'm nervous. Its completely involuntary and I have no clue I'm even doing it until I look at how gross my nails are.

5. How do you handle change?

I used to be terrible at handling change. I cried every day when I moved into my dorm Freshman year. A few trips to other countries helped me learn how to adapt and love switching it up and changing situations.

6. If you were a god what would you do to the world?

I would plant thousands of trees where they're needed.

7. If you could carry on a conversation with your dog, what would you say to him/her?

I would ask him why he barks all the time at night at absolutely nothing. I would tell him I loved him. My dog is the best.

8. If u were a character from your favorite TV show or movie who would u be? Why?

Elliot from Scrubs. I have the same neurotic thought processes as she does, and the annoying bangs in my face. I would also love to date Zach Braff.

9. Who do you think would win a battle between a ninja and a pirate?

A ninja. Pirates seem to be pretty stupid and drunk most of the time. Ninjas have the mindset and the moves to kick ass.

10. What was the best thing before sliced bread?

Coffee. I cannot do my life without or before a good cup of coffee in the morning. Just ask my roommates.

11. How would you drop an egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?

I would put it in an egg carton attached to one of those GI Joes with the parachute attached. I have no idea if it would work, but I think I've seen it in movies.

Thank you for all you do Kate, our Big Bang Superstar during

 the month of July!! You are a valuable asset to our club and

 you are a great role model to follow!!  Stop by the Big Bang to

 congratulate Kate yourself!
