I've always wanted to do this, so I am in. Where do you guys usually meet up? I will talk to my girlfriend to see if she would also like to go. Even though I am a star wars geek(amongst other things) I am also a big horror movie fan as well. Especially Zombies "BRAINS".

The 29th is the same day of our Indy Museum trip. It doesn't start till 8:00pm however, so if we left from Indy early enough, this could be most doable, seems like fun. I'll ask Appo about it. batting

Actually, everyone who participates in the event meets behind object's of desire on Bardstown road. So park somewhere on Bardstown and head there by foot. We hang out there until about 8:29 and then we hit the streets.

There are two types of participants: victims (no makeup needed) and zombies (full makeup highly encouraged!). The victims take positions on Bardstown road prior to the event and wait for the Zombies (aka friends they came with) to attack them. Basically, they put up a good scream or "fight" just as the zombies come into view and take them down. The zombies always win! See the second link in my earlier message for examples. If munching on the local pedestrians isn't your thing, then you can amble on down in your best zombie shuffle to Bearno's. Just be sure to have a good zombie moan. Oh yeah...usually there are lots of people out with cameras, so do not be surprised if you show up in a fan film or something.

By the way, they do not block off the road for this or really tell local companies that it is going to happen...so do not be surprised if you get some weird looks. If they actually look frightened...do not bother them. If they scream and yell, but have a smile...attack!

The entire walk lasts about thirty minutes and then most people hang out at Bearno's to eat pizza and watch zombie movies. Though if you get queasy easily...skip the food. Some of the costumes I have seen are kinda disgusting to look at when you try to eat. Not to mention the movies playing as well in full detail.

See everyone soon!

Just remember...no one actually gets hit and the zombies always win wink

Worst that happens is that you get pawed at by friends dressed up as zombies or you really frighten someone who has no idea what is going on.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention...we might have a little photo shoot before the actual zombie walk behind Objects of Desire. So bring a cheesy smile or three.

Once again, our appologies, Appo wound up suffering a migraine/cluster head ache on the way home. He still wants to come out and play, but I'm putting my foot down. He's had a lot of stress this past month, I'm making him stay in tonight and get some real sleep. You all have fun, and we'll see you soon. batting

No worries everyone. There is always another one! Besides, if my fiancee and I ever get our LARP idea going, consider yourselves invited wink

Farad was able to make it out though. We passed each other and said hi just before the walk started.

The Zombie Walk was a good time. I was able to maul several friends right in front of people having dinner. The looks on their faces were priceless! However, it was freaking crowded! Seems the secret of the Zombie Walk has gotten out and now it is an event to see. Some of the novelty was lost in my opinion. But, I had a good time and it got me out of the house!

I didn't take any pictures as I was covered in makeup, but some friends of mine should post things soon.

It was a great time even though the final destination was overcrowded but I don't know where wouldn't be. I didn't see him but someone said they saw a Darth Vader there. There are pictures on my Facebook profile (real name here on profile if anyone wants to add me) but not sure how to transfer them here. I also jumped in on two of the Michael Jackson "Thriller" dances of which at least one is floating around on Youtube somewhere.To top it all off, I went out to a nightclub(along with the singer's girlfriend) to see a band still dressed up. It was a great night.
