As you can see from the blog feed, your loyal ZRC staff stayed back at the home base today and tried to catch up on some of the Zombie Business that had piled up. Tomorrow I’m going to be back downtown for as much of the day as possible. Get some more pictures, video, hang [...]

Back from the protests again; managed to hurt my left ankle but it was so worth it, had a blast, talked Zombie Rights to a few people, handed out some literature. My new sign was a hit too. Today’s photos are up on flickr here. The turnout was absolutely unbelievable. That’ll tide the blog over [...]

(Yeah I know, the two ands aren’t great grammar, but the alternative was blotting out one, and that’d be ugly) I also made some subtle improvements to the design, using some scotch tape on the open edge to make it resist flapping open and absorbing moisture if it’s another wet day. One of the benefits [...]

First of all, the good news: the vote on Walker’s new ‘budget’ that strips public employees of their hard-fought union rights has been delayed until at least Tuesday in the Assembly; no word on when it will go to the Senate, or when the Democratic Senators, who fled the state for our own good (literally), [...]

More highlights and lots of photos from the big rally at the Capitol today in Madison. (The Socialists had t-shirts for the occasion. Even Socialists need branding.) (Sign reads: Governor Walker’s Gong Show. Time to go, Scotty.) (Well, do you?) (Eisenhower really was a different breed of Republican) (Another one of the many marches around [...]

Greetings to all Zombie Rights Supporters from downtown Madison; specifically, I’m checking in from the downtown public library, which has very acceptable wifi. Getting downtown for the protests was easy enough, but parking, that’s another matter. From what I’ve seen the garages are utterly packed, and there are thousands upon thousands of people walking in [...]

As a reminder, the ZRC will be a bit distracted today covering the Madison protests for you, our loyal readers. Updates will be sporadic but hopefully pretty interesting. This is why I normally leave signmaking to the Art Director, by the way. I can’t handle spacing, argh! Oh well, it’s the message that counts. Off [...]

I know we’ve been dealing with some heady stuff lately here at the ZRC, and it might seem that our focus is broadening beyond the core ‘Zombie Rights’ message that we espoused in the past. To some extent, that’s true. However, as with our efforts to build bridges into the Independent Film Community, or our [...]

Just a quick note to say that we will definitely be at the 4th Annual Chicago Zombie March. I’m still debating a couple of conventions to go to and hope to put our final con schedule for much of 2011 up soon, but this is a no-brainer. Millennium Park is a neat place, and there’s [...]

Here we have, not strictly in order, our Top 10 favorite moments from 2010′s campaign for Zombie Rights. 10) Annoying a bunch of sad, self-important nerd-fans of Mega64 It all started with a terse critique I made of a silly internet video, and turned into a feud between the ZRC and dozens of poorly socialized, [...]
