I apologize in advance for the motes of dust visible in some of these shots; the camera lens apparently was badly in need of cleaning.
Also odd in these photos is that my camera’s automatic configuration mode seems to have been driven slightly batty by the weird lighting in the Marriot (as were my eyes, actually). [...]

Well, that was a satisfying 3 days of activism indeed.
Our last day in the Vendor area went quite well, and I’m happy to report that we sold completely out of Zombie Strong wristbands. That’s a ‘nice problem to have’, as they say on Metalocalypse. We’re going to put in a new order, [...]

Here at the ZRC we of course encourage people to encourage Zombies to participate more fully in public activities. So this IMMD post about a citizen being delighted to see Zombies at a vegetarian restaurant is in part a heartening one.
Yet here the author still indulges in Zombie stereotyping. Never seen a vegetarian [...]

Come visit The Zombie Rights Campaign booth at Geek-Kon; we’re located in the Vendor’s Room, since there’s no room for civil rights lobbies per se. Plus we will have stuff to sell! Lurch for the Cure shirts, wrist-bands and the like, so on and so forth.
This convention we will also have a semi-limited supply [...]

Details below the cut, but a short version: from a Zombie Rights perspective, atrocious, insulting, disturbing. From a gaming perspective, limited, brief, at times frustrating, more of the same.
Even if you hate Zombies and love videogames where you kill them (for some disturbed reason) there’s no particular reason to do it in [...]

Or maybe it’s ‘Case 0′, like in the title screen? Whatever.
Ok, so the ZRC played the Dead Rising 2 prologue for a few hours this evening over dinner (a lovely ricotta and parmesean stuffed tortellini with a simple marinara sauce, thanks for asking). First impressions follow:

Here’s something we can all enjoy, before the ZRC has to begin its videogame odyssey into the veritable Heart of Darkness that is Capcom’s media empire, first with Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, then Resident Evil: Afterlife, the full game, and who knows what other horrors yet to come: a lighthearted youtube video about accepting [...]

A very important ZRC Expose on Dead Rising 2 and Fake Zombie Advocates below the cut.

As of this morning, my Xbox informs me, you can download the prologue to upcoming Zombie-bashing megahit Dead Rising 2. Not that I’m suggesting that you SHOULD, of course. It’s just something that all Zombies and Zombie allies need to be aware of.
The Zombie Rights Campaign has bitten the bullet on this issue [...]

I got to prepping a bit for our convention appearance this weekend (I know, I procrastinate a lot) and noticed an interesting group is appearaing in concert at the convention:
Dr. Cancer and the SKAmbies!
This year, close out the convention with a bang! Dr. Cancer was an unsuccessful, washed up, loner until he had a great [...]
