Weirdly, the site you posted wasn't working for me, so I googled it and found this link.

The most recent entry on the site [yeah, I went ahead and corrected the punctuation]:

As you all well know, Detroit Santarchy is this Saturday, December 19th. Our meeting venue this year is the Detroit Gaelic League. Last year's fiasco at Blondie's had Santa hopping mad, throwing up eggnog, and bleeding out of his eyes. Needless to say, Santa won't be returning to Blondie's. [Humorous sidebar: the manager there, who called himself "X," a few months later became known as "X Employee." Geez, I wonder why?]

So here's the scoop for 2009: this year, we'll have two buses leaving from Theatre Bizarre and one from the Blind Pig/8 Ball Saloon in Ann Arbor. The Theatre Bizarre buses will start loading up at 7pm and the Ann Arbor birkenstock bus at 6:45 pm. Don't piss around and get there late because the Theatre Bizarre buses will be leaving at 7:15 pm sharp and the A2 bus leaves promptly at 6:50-7:00 pm. For the uninitiated, Theatre Bizarre is located on State Fair, two blocks east of Woodward Ave. Parking is on the street. The Blind Pig has a parking garage directly across from it, so hopefully you can focus long enough to find it.

The bus pass this year is $20, even for all you hippies coming from Ann Arbor!! Again...get there early. You know... 6:30ish, and pack a $20 bill for Santa's sake! Bus passes will be sold as you board the bus, and we don't need to be fumblin' in the dark through your coin collection, wrinkled up dollar bills, food stamps, etc.

If your plan is to just show up at the Gaelic League (Michigan Ave., one block west of Rosa Parks), get there between 8 and 10pm. They have a big ass parking lot, but you still might want to leave the Lexus home that night. Santa has never had a problem parking there. Then again, you should see some some of shit I have to drive. Bus passes will be sold 'til 11-11:30 pm-ish at the Gaelic League. After that, the bus helpers will have a few passes on hand for you pokey straggler Santas.

The buses will start rolling at 9:30. To get things goin' and keep things moving, here's the plan: the sleighs will take a load of Santas to the first stop, Corktown Tavern, The Works, and Casey's, then return to the Gaelic League and pick up more Santas. After the second drop off, the buses will continue to stop 2. Feel free to hang where you are for a bit, or continue onward. Stop 3 is at Harry's, Comet Bar, and AFB, a.k.a. "Another Fucking Bar," formerly known as the 2500 Club. Rumor has it they cleaned the old 2500 Club place up a bit. After Dec. 19th, I'm sure the stench will be back. The buses will then return to the Gaelic League with a stop off at the Lagerhouse, then Casey's/Corktown/Works. There will be four buses running all night, so hopefully you'll see a bus every 5-10 minutes or so. We also are finishing up the art for our first ever Detroit Santarchy T-shirt which will be on sale Saturday night. We'll post the artwork up in a few days. Stay tuned, freaks. --Santa

Oh! For a little fun, check out this little video.
