Zombie Lurch

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-only-takes-braaaaaaains dept.

user_granstro writes "Madison, Wisconsin is the next city to face the shambling undead hordes. At 2pm on Saturday, October 22, zombie fans will assemble in full costume to kick off Zombie Lurch 2005. Organizer Maddie Greene, a self-styled zombie expert, says of the event, "I think that any bystander could jump right in and become a zombie with the proper groaning and limping and attitude.""

  3. Zombies storm American Idol auditions... by antdude · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This past event was better. Even the zombies look cooler (grosser)! Copied and pasted from AQFL:

    The Daily Texan (with gross photographs) reports on Thursday outside the Frank Erwin Center, a horde of zombies attacked the "American Idol" auditions. No one was hurt.

    The zombies, 15 fake-bloodied actors in all, lurched out from under the IH-35 overpass and shuffled toward the Erwin Center, where they encountered the pop-star hopefuls.

    Most of the 100 or so young people gathered outside had just been rejected by the "American Idol" review board, and they were talking, singing and waiting for rides home when the zombies arrived. "Braaaaaaains!" the zombies said. Nick Muntean, a UT radio-television-film graduate student who organized and participated in the zombie horde, added, "Television rots your braaaaaaains!" The pop-star wannabes were largely unimpressed.

    Seen on Blue's News. I wonder if there are video clips of this!

    You do have to consider the fact that zombies are real. So in a sense they are advocating slavery.

    During most of my life I've worked on weekends; usually friday night, saturday sunday. And pretty much everything interesting worthy of my time involving large numbers of people was either on a friday, sunday or saturday; I would have however probably been able to make this zombie-march-thing, since it was on a tuesday. You cannot please everyone's schedule all the time; and to think that everyone should follow your schedule is pure hubris.
