You have two Zombie Tolerant (or better!) candidates for mayor, plus other elections including a Supreme Court race that has become a referendum on Governor Walker (who is Anti-Zombie). I highly suggest voting tomorrow. Wisconsin has same-day registration, so there’s no real barrier. Find your polling place (use this site) and go there. Polls are [...]

Just so you know the origin of the above phrase when I start using it reflexively, watch this Youtube April Fool’s prank/video: The relevant portion starts at about 1:39, if you’re in a hurry.

Apparently the Anti-Zombie filmmakers, however, have something of the same idea about themselves: Gawid Entertainment has teamed up [...]

In the wake of our original reporting on the Zombie Walk Against Governor Walker, a ‘Citizen Journalism’ site covering the Madison protests decided to copy large portions of our text without attribution as part of a slightly longer piece on the Zombie Walk.

Even the Mainstream Media’s reporting on the event was largely positive: On Saturday afternoon, the protest movement against Gov. Scott Walker finally died, so to speak. A shuffling, groaning [...]

We’re back, we had a great time, and there are lots of pictures. Here’s the flickr set from today’s event. I will be writing more comprehensive stuff after dinner; haven’t really eaten yet today. Starving.

Just a quick-heads up about the Zombie Walk on State Street starting this afternoon against Gov. Walker. We’ll be there with stuff to hand out, and we’d love to see you too. Here’s the FB page. Here’s the basic info: Dress up like a zombie and make a clever sign. I would like everyone to [...]

Well, the first batch of stuff for sale came and went recently; I’m looking to put more up soon, but in the meantime I’ve put the shirts and the wristbands (which are selling quite well) back up on Ebay; the link is at the bottom of this post. I want to thank all the ZRC [...]
