The Zombies are back!
This Saturday someone’s going to open the cages on the rage infected monkeys and San Francisco will once again be over-run with the army of the undead! It’s been over a year since the undead were among us (well unless you count the city council, then they’ve never left) and it’s time to greet them in force. I for one have been polishing up my Cricket bat and will be on the front lines, protecting our fair city from these flesh eating monsters. What the hell am I talking about? I’m talking about the Zombie Fleshmob that we covered last year (1) (2) that will once again be taking to the streets of San Francisco.
From eatbrains.com:
Saturday, Aug 19th, zombies will be storming the corner of Market and Sansome at 2:30. We will then walk/limp/crawl to Powell Station by 3:00. There will be a big massacre on Powell between Market and O’Farrel. We’ll Pick up stragglers at Union Square by 3:30.
How to participate: Plant yourself somewhere along our route. Show up in plain clothes minus anything of value. Wear a small piece of duct tape (or similar) clearly visible on your torso. Attract our attention somehow. (screaming “aaaiiieeee! zombies!” is good for this). We will attack you, cover you with blood, shred your clothes, and slip you a makeup kit so you can create new zombies. If you want to show up already in zombie gear, great. Just join the mob at any time.
Here is a handy map of the route they plan to loosely follow.
I can’t stress to you enough how much fun this is and I’m not going to give away any spoilers, so if you have a few hours to spare then be there!
