You
may have noticed we haven't posted anything or advertised this year's
SLC Zombie Walk at all. The reason behind this: no one sent us any
information about it until 6PM last night. Probably due to
finalization of the route. Otherwise we would have been pimping this
out over a month ago and encouraging every single one of you undead
lovers to venture out this Sunday and take part in it. Especially
since (yet again) no one has contacted the city to organize a
Halloween parade, which we sorely need in many ways. So here's your
official 48 hour warning for those of you interested in taking part.
All you need to do is gussy yourself up like a zombie (or for some of
you with brave souls, living survivors fighting against the horde of
flesh eaters) and then make your way up the parade route starting at 7PM on Sunday. Which you
can check out below with details.
Originally it was set to go through the
LDS owned section of Main Street, but has clearly been changed to a smaller
area starting at the Library. Bit of a shame too, it would have been
nice to see
a photo of two zombies kissing by the pond in a defiant act of
post-apocalyptic marriage. Speaking of, photo taking is highly
encouraged, and I'm sure we'd love to see your pictures. Those in charge strongly
urge you to be respectful of non-participating on-lookers, as well as
businesses in the area. Crawl on, living impaired!
2010 SLC Zombie Walk: At first, I thought it was an announeement for an early-bird session of LDS Conference.
Than I realized that this is our Utah version of a group of people getting naked and laying in the street.
Instead of bagging on these junior street artists, we should applaud their total sense of silliness and purpose in killing some time and having a little fun. Beats the shit out of hanging at the mall or the student Union. Although I have to admit that seeing a group of them on KUTV morning news show only served to remind me of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" poorly done.
I guess there are only so many moves rotting flesh can make.
Sounds like a waste of time.
What is the purpose of this parade?
