Usually held in Toronto, this shambling, stumbling, flailing good time will be held in Vancouver this year! Yay us! So if you have a mild obsession with Zombies (as many of my friends do), or you simply love to get rotten and yell "Braaaaiiins" at random people, then mark this one on your calendar:

Saturday, August 27 -
The route has been changed and shortened in recognition
of the fact that slow-moving zombies may not want to
walk 40 blocks.

NEW ROUTE:
1) Non-lazy super zombies meet @ V.A.G. 4pm

2) Shuffle along city streets, through Pacific Centre, and
onto the Skytrain.

3) Get off Skytrain at Main St., shamble up Main St. to
Bethlehem Lutheran Church @ 320 E. 15th Ave.

4) Meet with lazy zombies @ Church 5pm

5) Stumble over to Guelph Park, 8th Ave. & Brunswick St.
for zombie gathering

6) Flail back to Main St. & 5th for the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE
@ Video In 9pm



Potentially useful things to keep in mind:

Causes of zombie-ness:

As everyone knows - or should know - zombies are usually

attributable to one or more of the following:

1. voodoo

2. science gone astray - chemical or biological accidents, experiments, viruses and the like

3. the apocalypse

Of course, there are many more possibilties. Be creative. Corpses in all stages of decay are encouraged.

For the low-budget zombie:

1. Oatmeal and liquid latex works wonders.

2. Food colouring and corn syrup makes convincing blood, but sticky. However, also tasty.

3. Value Village - but I'm sure it's hardly necessary to mention that.

Finally: As mentioned previously - zombies are only really effective when travelling together in large groups. Bring your friends, foes, family and other loved ones.

Nothing says you love someone quite like caking yourself in make-up, limping down the street together and eating them in the park!
SOOOO TRUE........
Pass this info on to anyone who might be interested - it has a bit of a 'viral' feel to it, but see zombie cause number 2. It all makes perfect sense. - Thu, 25 Aug 2005 2:59am
