There has recently been some controversy over the upcoming Horror Society Film Festival, which the ZRC will be attending tomorrow starting at 2 pm at the lovely Portage theatre in Chicago. Oddly enough, this controversy has nothing to do with Zombies, which might mean that we need to redouble our efforts a bit. Instead, it [...]

Sorry about the lack of new updates the last couple of days; I had some serious cramming to do for a non-Zombie Rights project in my other life, and then tonight we had a social function, again not Zombie related. Shocking, I know. The ZRC is of course getting excited for our Fall calendar of [...]

Look what I just ordered a bunch of copies of at the printer. This should help to open a few minds and raise some awareness of the harm that Resident Evil and its ilk are doing to our society as they fly across the Pacific on wings of hate. (Ok, so they’re probably printed here [...]

I partially did this just to get more familiar with taking video in preparation for our trip to Chicago in two days, but it’s also good for giving you a bit of a feel for the space and arrangement of a vendor room at a convention like Geek.kon, and a nice view of our booth [...]

I apologize one last time for the quality of these shots, and rest assured I have resolved the issues (I think) in time for our big RE: Afterlife rally this Friday. No, the lights didn’t go out! This is what happens when funky fluorescent lights overwhelm a Canon Powershot’s automatic configurations. Here’s a better shot, [...]

The ZRC had the great pleasure of attending the Dr. Cancer and the SKAmbies concert on Sunday at Geek.kon, and as promised, here is a review of the show from the perspective of Zombie rights.

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, [...]

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, eh, probably [...]

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 I deeply apologize. So, how [...]

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 for some sign-making supplies, because tonight [...]
