Win an Evening Mocking the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’

Here’s a contest our readers might well be interested in:

With the news of the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention finally arming up in preparation for a zombie attack, it’s a great time for The A.V. Club’s Editor Keith Phipps to join Chicago comedians Dan Telfer and Adam Burke in a night of undead commentary on the 2007 zombie flick Rise Of The Dead. The nerdy trio will calmly discuss the matter of brain-devouring doomsday at Wilmette Theatre on June 11. After all, it’s common knowledge that nerds fare relatively well in zombie apocalypses. Lucky, then, for A.V. Club readers that we also have one pair of tickets for this show to give away. Interested parties can e-mail ochicago@theonion.com with “Rise Of The Dead” in the subject line. A winner will be drawn June 9.

Yes, the CDC, an actual governmental agency has been hitting the hysterical, shrieky panic button over the non-existent threat of the Zombie Apocalypse, as documented here on the ZRC blog. In a world gone mad such as this, the only proper response is snark, and so we have a night of mockery of the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ being brought to the Chicago area by The Onion, fine purveyors of snark themselves.

We’ll be entering here at The ZRC, even though that’s the day of the Zombie March so we’d probably be pretty beat. If we win of course, it will be our happy but solemn duty to attend and represent The Movement.

Down with the Zombie Apocalypse and up with humor!
