Today's Webtip: Krampus in Cali

Some Americans have found a new excuse to dress up.

And some Austrians are going to help. Because in L.A. there is now a Krampusfest.

As you might expect, it doesn't quite look like similar events over here, and it was launched with a webshop and merchandise ready and waiting.

But that doesn't mean they aren't willing to learn, so this year the organizers managed to invite Martin Zehentner to share the tradition with them. Martin is from Salzburg and a member of Alt Gnigler, a group who have a few decades more experience than the LA crew.

Apparently december sun and tasty treats were enough to convince Martin to bring his gear and knowledge to the States to teach them how to do Krampus correctly.

You can read more about it on boingboing.net, and hopefully find some follow up photos later at krampusfest.com.
