Zombie Walk

Walk with your un-dead brethren through the corridors of the Emerald City’s shopping center- University Village. With all your gore and glory, smile at the soccer Moms and dine on Seattle shoppers!

Be one of us because you are a Horror movie fan, because you love costume, or to make a statement. How often do you get to participate in something this weird?

All that is required is that you show up in costume, respect laws and practice common sense. Bring your friends. Nothing says you love someone quite like caking yourself in make-up, limping down the street together and eating them in the shopping mall!

People's participation in this event is completely voluntary and I cannot and will not accept any liability for the actions of participants.

Zombies are infiltrating U-Village on Oct. 29th

4:30 PM Sharp
Meet at the back QFC parking lot

6:00 pm reservations for cocktails/dinner at Atlas-http://www.chowfoods.com
cash only! No separate checks. (email me if you want to see their specific Zombie menu- $6.00- $18.00 foods)

8:15 $5.00 Zombie movie! TBA @ the Historic University Theater
5510 University Way NE • Seattle, Washington • (206) 352-8291

*It's a rare opportunity to watch a Zombie movie in a theater full of Zombies who won't eat you!

Potentially useful things to keep in mind:
1. Participate at your own risk.
2. Do not pretend to “attack” people not part of Zombie Walk who do not obviously want to be involved.
3. Only swarm parked cars because, if we cause traffic problems- the Police will interfere.
4. Do not bring anything that looks like a weapon to the Village no matter how fake.
(There will be opportunities to play fight walking to the Theater.)
5.There are no permits for this event. You are responsible for yourself. Be safe and look out for the safety of others!

* We all will need to work together to stay a horde! Zombies are only really effective when traveling together in large groups. More details T.B.A..
CHECK IN!

There have been Zombie Walks all over the country…..

You can see a map of the shopping center on the University Village website: http://www.uvillage.com/map.asp

This time I'd like to see:

1. A slower Zombie shuffle.
2. more Zombies arriving en mass by public transport.
3. A few planned scenarios.... like- corralling of "victims" in a corridor!

F.Y.I. You will see some activist oriented stuff on this site by my other group- Dead Awake.
Zombie Walk is NOT a politically oriented event. Horror movie fans and Zombie freaks of all ages and perspectives come hither and help scare people and play with the concept of a macabre fantasy collective.

here is a video from last year's walk at U Village:

Awesome. Cleo, thanks so much for organizing these events. I was at the Fremont walk and I knew it was gonna be fun, but it turned out even more fun than I expected! I was amazed at the creativity everyone showed, particularly all the people who weren't just zombies, but were costumed for some obvious real-life role and then zombified up (the BBC reporter in particular really sticks out).

After showing pictures and video around, I've had lots of people say "that sounds like it was lots of fun" and three people specifically say "oh that's it, next year I'm going". I'm looking forward to it, and I'm not alone!

Hi there,

My walks have been almost entirely web-based. If you comb through this journal you will see everything I've published. Use a free service like LJ or MySpace or make your own site. Make lots of Zombie business cards to promote your info site. Send press releases to your local media well in advance. Serarch the web for good links to costume websites for your participants. Some cities need permits and some cops are especially mean when provoked, so use common sense.

Above all.......

1. Promote it as a COMMUNITY event and invite people from all generations so it doesn't attract too many ill-intended punk kids. (although I love to be punk and ill-intended)

2. Don't try to capitalize on it.....I don't want to see Zombie Walk t-shirts at Hot Topic. Puke.

GOOD LUCK and send pictures to "Zombie Walk" on flickr.com!

Aerosmith’s song “Eat the Rich”

from: [info]cleozombie
date: Sep. 19th, 2006 06:22 pm (UTC)

'Cause I'm sick of your complaining
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitching
'Bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife

(Chorus)
Eat The Rich
There's only one thing that they are good for
Eat The Rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat The Rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat The Rich
Take one bite now - spit out the rest
So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you best go on a diet
Yeah, I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst the bubble
On rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
When you eat that kind of food

Now they're smoking up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancing in the yacht club
With Muff and uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine

Chorus
Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache
From eating humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritance won't last
So take your Gray Poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass

Chorus

This looks way cool and I plan on going, dressing up and taking pictures...One thing I gotta say, and I know this is pretty obvious and you probably have it covered already but : make sure Atlas knows you're coming. I work for the same company (different restaurant) and I know from experience that a horde of zombies descending on a restaurant unannounced can be pretty overwhelming for the staff. Like I said, you probably already thought of all that, just makin' sure.

Anyway looking forward to it, if I can get off work.

Yes, I already contacted Atlas. They reserved the back room for Zombies and we have a special menu (of course!). There is one problem...... that room only seats 30 so you may want to make reservations.....at around 6:00pm!

Is this going to be the only zombie walk in Seattle this year? I remember last year there were several. U Village is a good location, but it's not very central. Are there plans for anything nearer downtown?

I've wanted to do a zombie-walk for a LOoonnnnng time... we'll definately be there, my otherhalf and I. I do some nice digital photography, so we should be able to get some good pics too- from within the scene, so to speak, if possible. :) I'd love to help out in planning and such- I have a nice dark blue van (kind of old and creepy looking no less) that has no seats in the back- we might be able to arrange an 'arrival' by a few 'morgue' people, or a mock enforcement group going zombiekilling- or just have fun popping the back open and swarming zombies onto the walkways. ;)

Zombie children?

date: Oct. 23rd, 2006 10:39 pm (UTC)

Cleo, I'm a zombiewalk virgin that wants to participate, but I'll have my 16 month old son with me that day. I don't have a problem sacrificing one of his t-shirts to the performance-art gods and smearing greasepaint on his face (he'll probably love it!), but I am worried about the feasability of it. I can't carry him the entire way, so I'll be pushing a zombie stroller.

Do you have any advice for me? If kids at these events is just a bad idea and I'm not wise enough to see that, I can take it. I just need to know what I can do to make this the best event for my son and everyone as it can be.

Thanks,
Jon

Hmmm, interesting dillemma.......

This event is fine for children if parents don't mind exposing their kids to staged gore. My experience has been that people are mindfull of youngin's at these sorts of events. (As a kid I loved scary stuff and I don't think babies understand the spectacle as violent, more just amusing......) The catch is that only you know the fear threshhold of your child. We love to play....let us know what you are comfortable with.

Some ideas:

A Zombie would have no regard for a zombie child, so it wouldn't make sense that they would be pushed in a stroller....

.....but, If the child is NOT a zombie baby, but live and fresh.......
The first thing I thought of is the child could be BAIT!!!

HA! HA! (let me know if you are game to be that twisted....I could help you stage something like a great photo of zombies closing in on your innocent child....)

If that is too sick for you.......maybe you can tie a wagon to yourself and drag your zombie child around so it looks unintentional......like you two got caught up in police line or "wet paint" tape or something.

That could be fun if you don't want to draw zombie attention on your baby.......

Sorry but my friend (chainsawnurse) and I can't make it. We were totally planning to go but we didn't peep the time until after we'd agreed to go to someone else's halloween party at 5PM this Sunday. Sucks! Y'all will have to let us know what the zombie movie was. Mebbe we'll see you at the next one.
