Zombie Walkin'

My little zombies...

 

A few weeks ago the city I live in hosted a downtown "zombie walk".

If you've never heard of a zombie walk...it's like a big parade of people dressed as zombies that walk/hobble/limp/drag their way through the downtown streets.  Traffic is stopped at the intersections to allow the zombies (in our case there were several hundred) to pass by. We zombie-walked a 10 block route with our entourage being led by the local radio station blasting Michael Jackson's "Thriller" through the airwaves. 

The awesome part of the event was the fact that they had a group of artists that donated their time to do the face painting for all us wanna-be zombies...FREE!

AND...for anyone who has always dreamed of doing the "Thriller" dance....they had a dance studio that donated their time to teach all of us several hundred zombies the dance steps to the Thriller (like in the video!)

At the largest intersections, with cars lined up waiting for us to pass through...several hundred "zombies" would stop and dance the Thriller dance. For someone my age, who remembers watching the big premier of the Thriller video on MTV, it was awesome!

I don't know who had more fun...me or my kids :)

Apparantly I'm as vain as a zombie as I am normally...notice I didn't post a picture of myself zombified? Yes, I have a picture but I won't post it. 

When I saw the image of my zombie-self on my digital camera display I jumped a bit and said...

"EWWWWW! I LOOK SOOO UGLY! I DON'T LIKE IT!!!"

My kids thought that was the funniest thing they had ever heard and said...

 "MOM! Zombies are 'SPOSED to be ugly!"

That may be true...but I'm STILL not posting it :)

    that sounds so cool!!!  I'm a little jealous of all the fun you must have had.  You were dancing, right?!  I remember Thriller too, so I would have loved to have seen the group walking.

    Ohh, come on Frags!  You won't even show us at all?  :-p  Just kidding, I can understand that.  Sounds really really fun, makes me wish there was one of those around here now, lol.  That would have been awesome.  Really cool way to merge then with now.
