Here are two events, just two, I saw advertised on the way home from Z-Town: The Zombie Musical: Sadly we’ll be in Bloomington, IN for The Dark Carnival that weekend! Still, we wish our fellow Madisonians the best of luck celebrating this holiday season in a Zombie, and indeed, Mummy Friendly manner.

Yet Another Charitable Zombie Walk, But Unfortunately Associated with ‘Dead Island’

| September 11, 2011

This particular charitable Zombie Walk I’m not sure the ZRC could have gotten *entirely* behind since it doubled as a game launch event for notable Evil Anti-Zombie game ‘Dead Island’: Zombies aren’t usually known for being the most charitable or fun loving monsters, but come this Labor Day, a group of zombies will be just [...]

We received a comment here on the blog recently from an ‘animelover’ who seems to have trawled our archives back for months and discovered the post covering the ‘Zombie Walk Against Walker’, a prominent and highly successful bit of political activism by the Differently Animated here in Madison last spring. For the record, as we [...]
