Twisted santas outside the Twisted Spoke	At the secret Santa Rampage launch site.
Dreidel Rampagers	Baby Santanic ritual sacrifice to the God of the Hops.
The vats are empty and the santas are ready to rampage.	Santas attempting to mount their bikes after emerging from the rampage preparation area.


Santas mill around aimlessly on Dearborn near Daley Plaza.	Cycle Santas rule Michigan Ave!
At Michigan & Ontario, approaching Watertower Place. Some santas toss toys to kids.	Santas preparing for Water Tower Place intrusion....
But they encounter the Water Tower Santa Defense Corps. "Keepin' it safe for shoppin'."	The Santas, occupying "public property," prevailed nevertheless by singing Christmas carols with twisted lyrics.


Michael giving out educational materials to shoppers.	The Santas move across the street to Bloomingdales, but promptly encounter security.
Santa-Rat and security discuss placement of bikes against Bloomingdale wall. (another pic of Santa-Rat with baby santa!)	Next target is the Hancock Center. Temporarily suspending their anti-consumerist crusade, they desire to patronize the bar on the 95th floor of the Center...
...but once more run afoul of the forces of order.	Dejected Santas in retreat.


Leaving the Malignant Mile shoppers something to remember them by...	...the santas head south to more santa-friendly territory.
No resistance is met at Marshall Fields, and the santas amuse themselves by riding up and down escalators....	...and singing Christmas "Carols."
Posing at Carson's. Can you find the real Santa?	Santas make merry in front of Carson's.

Thanks to Josh for the launch site and refreshments, to Rita & Josh for music, Michael for organizing, Bob for the toys, and everyone else for a successful and fun rampage.
