Round three

Welp, in mere hours, it’ll be time once again for the you-know-what. I’ve said the word “zombie” so many times this week that I’m kind of tired of it and would like to not say it again for a few months. So it goes. Every year. I’m paranoid about turnout, of course. I always imagine that it will be, like, thirty people, all of whom will be immensely bored. It’ll be good. I know it…

Day 111: The Zombots Are Coming

Look what the massively talented Shane McDermott (who looks a little like Edward Norton and Chris Hardwick’s lovechild) did! He zombified Newsbot, just in time for Friday’s undead uprising! So freaking awesome. Soon enough, a template for this sweet sweet zombie Newsbot papercraft will be available on The CA‘s website (I’ll link it when it’s ready). And word on the street is that The CA will be giving away a fully assembled Zombot, who’ll come…

Postlude to a zombie walk

I’m busy busy busy today but I just have to get in a quick post about the zombie walk. It went off more or less without a hitch and I was again impressed with the turnout and the amazing creativity of the horror-obsessed in this town. I mean, seriously. I love being able to help foster an outlet that is so much fun for so many people. It’s corny, but I love that part of…

it's true — I'm crazy Memphis Zombie Massacre

Prelude to a zombie walk

My nerves are all jangly. To calm them, I’ve mixed myself some ungodly combination of rum and Sobe LifeWater that looks like urine and tastes slightly less repulsive than urine. The nastiness of the drink is taking my mind of my nervousness, which I just wrote as “nervisness,” if that tells you anything about my state of mind right now. I’m worried about tomorrow’s zombie walk turnout. Last year was so unbelievably huge that, as…
