Dear living-impared,

Join us in lurching through the unsuspecting streets of durham as a horde of zombies! Bring your friends, family—anyone who might get a kick out of stalking downtown for brains on october 27, the saturday before halloween.


Here's the plan:

We'll meet at 5 p.m. at the parking lot at the corner of foster and seminary streets, across from the piedmont restaurant (401 foster st.):
http://maps.google.com/?q=Foster+St+%26+W+Seminary+St,+Durham,+NC+27701+(zombie+meeting+spot)&sll=36.001827,-78.901577&sspn=0.008385,0.014591&ie=UTF8&ll=35.998719,-78.902993&spn=0.008385,0.014591&z=16&om=1

There will be a pre-lurch gathering at 4:30 p.m. for folks who want help with makeup.

 …………………………………………………………………

frequently asked zombie questions:

Q: Is this event free/open to the public/all-ages?
A: yes! yes! yes!

Q: Do I need a costume?
A: Not necessarily. If you arrive before 5 p.m., we can help you with makeup, and that's all you really need (besides a broken-down shuffle) to look like one of the undead. Wear an old shirt that you've torn strategically, or just come as you are and be one of our victims.

Q: How far will we lurch?
A: About 1.5 miles roundtrip.

Q: Should I bring my camera?
A: Definitely bring your camera!

Q: What else should I bring?
A: You might want to stash a little cash and your ID in your pocket in case you end up at one of durham's fine establishments after stumbling through town with your zombie friends.

Q: rain or shine?
Q: rain??
hahahahahahaha!
But yes, even *if* it rains for more than 5 minutes, we'll brave it—it's not going to kill us. Since we're already dead and all.

Q: Are there any rules for the zombie lurch?
A: Well, since you asked:

rotten rules for the zombie lurch
This is for everyone's safety. Have your own darn lurch if you can't hang with the nice zombies. We want you to have fun and be able to do this again!

1. We can raise the dead, but not your jail bond.
We assume no responsibility or liability for any mishaps that occur during the walk.

2. Be chill, undead ones.
The lurch does not qualify as a parade, so please stay on the sidewalks and keep out of traffic. We have made the police aware of the event, and everything's fine if we keep out of the street. If they ask us to disperse, DO IT, or you'll be marching down mangum street, if you know what we mean.

3. Always bring a designated victim, and chew with your mouth closed.
Don't attack anyone who isn't a voluntary victim. That's what bloody friends are for! Speaking of blood, try your darnedest not to get it on the sidewalk or on windows.

thanks!

And remember, zombies are eat people, too.

Zombies like tortles, too:
