http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog News, information, and opinion for the undead and their supporters Tue, 07 Sep 2010 06:07:13 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=577 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 ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=575 First of all, I finally got around to verifying the proper spelling of the con, and it's apparently Geek.kon. I've seen it other ways on other forms, and for some reason had fallen into the habit of writing it as "Geek-Kon" If this has caused immense personal hardship to anyone ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=573 The first day of Geek-Kon was a big success, and we had a number of positive conversations and some great outreach to members of the Madisonian geek community. Today's schedule is a hectic one - we're getting started at our booth a bit late so I can hit Staples ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=571 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. ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=568 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 ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=566 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 ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=562 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: Every videogame ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=557 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 ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=555 A very important ZRC Expose on Dead Rising 2 and Fake Zombie Advocates below the cut. It's important to know who you can trust, in this crazy, 24/7 media environment, where political issues devolve into screaming matches over cable and facts are rare and nearly mythical creatures. So when the ... http://zombierightscampaign.org/blog/?p=548
