Just then our group was apart from the larger group; we made a brief stopover at Farmer's Market. At that time, the bulk of Santa was freaking out the security in the Grove next door.

Huell just happened to be passing through. He saw us sitting there and asked us why we were Santa. He said he'd like to do a show about it and I indicated that it probably wasn't going to happen, Santa is undercover. He looks at all of us and says incredulously, "How 'undercover' could it be?" I don't think he understood that Santa does not like to discuss his itinerary and doesn't need the publicity. It really isn't a good fit. I told him to burrow deeper into the Grove to really see Santa in his glory, (blow-up dolls and all) but he didn't want to. If he had, he would see that this is not exactly the G-rated type of material that "Visiting" requires. He took Trader Pup's card for next year. If he was actually serious I think he would have gone in for a look at the mayhem firsthand.
