Flash mob: zombies
Montreal had one. San Francisco had one. Austin, Texas had one. Vancouver, too.

Madison 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. Join us! We'll meet on the Capitol steps (Carroll/Mifflin side), shamble down State Street with stops for tasty brains and beverages, and end at the Union Terrace for even more beverages.

To add a particularly Madisonian touch, it's not just a Zombie Walk but a Zombie Protest. Fight for zombie rights by bringing a protest sign, sandwich board, or customized t-shirt. With slogans like Let Zombies Walk!, The undead are people too! Open your heart and mind to zombies, or even an eloquent ARGH, we'll raise public consciousness for the plight of our cannibalistic brothers and sisters. What do we want? BRAINS! When do we want it? BRAINS!

Please supply your own zombie makeup and clothing. But zombies are 80% attitude, so join in no matter what state of decomposition you're in.

Aim questions, ideas, or intent to participate at zombielurch@gmail.com or madolan@gmail.com. Hope to see you at Zombie Lurch!

EDIT TO ADD: See my recap here! Links to photo galleries, press coverage, and memories of the lurch. Thanks to everyone who helped, supported, and/or participated!

	who organizes these? is there some group that sponsers them across the country, or is it just random people getting them together? is there a site where you can go and find all the different ones? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I wish I was in Madison. You know, so I could feast on the flesh of the living. Not be devoured by the evil, undead hordes. You got that, right? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm going to be visiting Madison with my 68-year-old mom that day. I told her about this and she thought it was hilarious. I don't think we're going to eat any brains, but we'll probably be taking pictures :) (Reply to this)

	I'm game but haven't a clue for costume (which maybe I could fake) and makeup (really, really, NO clue). Any Web recommendations for makeup suggestions? All my LJ friends want to come, but some of them refuse to travel here from the UK for it. I think they're just scared. (Reply to this)

	October 22 is Homecoming at UW, but the Zombie Lurch is not listed as an official Homecoming event. Are there plans to protest this exclusion, and confront the blatant living-centric chauvinism that pervades this campus? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Seattle had one too, and it was excellent. See cleozombie if you're interested. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The wife and I are ready to lurch. Would a 17 month old zombie be welcome, or do zombies practice exclusionism towards the youth, also? She hungers for brains like all adult zombies.....mashed brains....with carrots.... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'd dress up for this and march along, except I'd be the only one of my "friends" to have the guts to actually go along with it. (Reply to this)(Thread)
