We had a long journey but we’re settled into the hotel and ready for a full weekend of film viewing and agitation. We also got to attend the opening party last night here in Bloomington. Some highlights: Doc Calamari has found a new and even more hideous outfit to parade around in. He describes it [...]

Sorry for the long weekend, I cannot divulge much yet but rest assured it was all for one of the ZRC’s ongoing secret projects. Mwa ha ha.

I’ve hesitated to write this post about our ill-fated attendance at Geek.kon all week, despite interested parties, Zombie Allies and dear friends asking about it in the intervening time, because the ZRC is about positive change, working toward a brighter tomorrow for the Living and Undead alike. We don’t like burning bridges. But, as longtime [...]

(our booth over the weekend, exhibiting a slideshow of past activism) Sorry about getting this post up so late; we were beat and unpacking and all that today.

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 [...]

Well, the North American Discworld Con has come and gone, and the ZRC had a lot of delightful interactions, formed a lot of delightful memories and is itching to get back to our day to day tasks. We talked with dozens of Zombie fans, and those more skeptical about the good intentions of our Zombie [...]

We had another fantastically productive day at the North American Discworld Convention! Some highlights of the last two days: –Yesterday Death came up to us (in costume) and jokingly complained about Zombies: ‘TALK ABOUT A REVOLVING DOOR!’ –Also yesterday, a young boy asked us what we were doing and we explained our noble Cause, to [...]

We had a great time at the Convention today! Sold a bunch of merch, our shirt supplies are just devastated, we will reorder this weekend but it should take a couple of weeks to be back at full strength. Wristbands are getting low too! Such fun. Plus we raise money for Lynn Sage that way [...]
