Zombie Fever is Spreading
The response to our Zombie Walk has been tremendous so far, and it appears the zombie-liciousness is spreading far and wide – even to the campaign trail. After this image from Reuters made its way around the InterWeb…
…many people made the comment that he looked like zombie. Well, that was just enough to launch the Web site, ZombieMcCain.com, complete with images like this one:
You can’t buy this type of promotion, and I can only hope I look half as good as this for the Zombie Walk. Get your comstumes ready, folks. This one is going to be a doozy. And for all you MMORPG people, World of Warcraft is having a Wrath of the Lich King Zombie Event. How much deeper the zombie fun goes is anyone’s guess.
On a related note, the final Zombie Walk path looks like it will continue – post-movie – to McGinty’s. Will be posting updates to the Web site as more details are available.

I’m coming as Joe the Zombie.
Brains, my friends!
Maaaaavrick.
I am going as Zombie-Joe-sick-pack. I will represent here in Paris for you because these bastards don’t do shit for this oh-so-high holiday!
Zombie Walk: Total success.
Quarry House Tavern: From the way I got treated when I dropped in post-apocalypse for a Trappist Ale and Tater Tots? They want to see any of us again like they want to have real zombies gnaw through their necks. I’ll go back to that place when hell freezes and I want to ice-skate with the damned. If the tater-tots they served me are what they serve everyone, it’s a wonder anyone has ever survived. Not to mention, $16.00 plus tips for fried potatoes far inferior to a McDonalds clone, and a beer, that’s highway robbery and I’d rather get robbed in Adams Morgan.
If this is typical of the “revitalized downtown Silver Spring”, might as well let it slide back into slumdom. At least the blatant craposity would be authentic instead of plastered over with faux pretty like lipstick on a demon cheerleader with five inch horns and eight inch fangs.
Anyone who admits to being a regular should be dragged behind a semi from the District to Hagerstown and left there, where they might fit right in with the crack whores and shambling alkies in the H’Town downtown.
My fiance and I watched you guys on the Promenade, it was hilarious and great fun. Cheers to the lady with the umbrella who our Eskie was happy to lick (thankfully she has not turned into a zombie puppy!) and to the hilarity of watching everyone attacking the costume shop. Jeers to the brooding angsty emo teens who kept making the obvious question/statement/catcall “halloween was yesterday, it’s November 1, halloween is over” and the 14-16 year old kids trying to act hard by saying “i’m gonna slap them fools if they get up near me.”
I’m not sure if you can find two farther ends of the spectrum than the blogosphere folks who would be fun enough to do a Zombie Walk, and the teen groups who normally occupy Elsworth, so it made for quite the social observation. Of course, if a horde of zombie-walkers wasn’t subject to judgement by a group of slightly rowdy teens, this wouldn’t have been a “silver spring” zombie walk, would it?
