Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together*
You will no doubt be aware that October 26 is World Zombie Day. No? Well that makes all of us. Apparently, it is on this day that “fans of Zombie culture” get together and roam around the place dressed as zombies for charity. Needless to say some of these well-intentioned weirdos live in Jacksonville and have a web presence here.
"This is my Pirate Day costume, too."
I was most struck by the zombie etiquette page , one particular clause seems…ahem…limiting:
Please no alcohol. The walks are generally outside and we do not want anyone getting arrested for public intoxication. Alcohol will be served inside licensed establishments during pub crawls or after parties. Please bring multiple forms of ID since zombies may look younger in make-up. No drugs.
That’s right, they’re doing this sober.
If this floats your boat, give it a whirl. If you fit the usual profile of a rivercityvibe reader, please resist the urge to mock. It’s for charity.
