PAST EVENT: 2008 Greektown, Detroit Zombie Walk

Zombie Walk Detroit invades Greektown, Downtown Detroit- 5/31/2008
That walk may have ended, but there will be more!.

Thanks Zombies! You guys are all swell.
Swell, I say!

We really did turn Greektown into Shriektown. Did you HEAR some of those ladies?!? Muhuaa! Especially that one near the end, and those who escaped to the People Mover!

Ahhh, what a day. So many great zombies- tall ones, muddy ones, pale ones, bloody ones- cute littlish young ones who were our brave leaders for a while... & ALL were nice ones! We had the perfect number for the crowded streets of Greektown on a Saturday evening (that just so happened to be filled with people, street performers, and police) 33. Wow! Perfect.

Some of the highlights of the evening:

The police. Not only did they not give us crap for swarming their city, but the first street we crossed, they actually blocked traffic, lights flashing, until we got safely across.
The trumpet guy. One of the street performers played both the Addam's Family theme AND the theme from the Munsters as we staggered by. Thanks, man! We hope you had a great night!
The screams and hollers from the outdoor restaurants. Man... we don't know if those people were drunk or they really, really liked us. We think a little of both.
The Jesus guy. He started out to be a highlight, until he followed us for the last three blocks of the walk. Then he just got kind of annoying. Still made for some good photos.
Last but in NO way least- again, The police. Okay. We thought they were cool when they blocked the street, but when they actually drove along with us for a short distance at one point repeating, 'Brrraaaaaaaaaains....' over the LOUDSPEAKER on the car, we were really impressed.

What could be better?

..when the police downloaded the 'Thriller' ring tone on a cell phone and played it over the speaker as we walked past Fishbone's.

We were very happy to have given them some pleasant excitement for the evening. It's cute when cops giggle. Thanks guys!

Thanks to all who participated for making this such a GREAT time!
We absolutely cannot wait to see you again at our next event!

Check out photos in the Greektown Gallery.

Special THANKS to Jason for filming the event (& to Chris for lending us his video camera last minute) and to all those taking photographs.

Super special thanks to the Detroit Police Force for being the absolute coolest cats in blue.

..and our apologies to Metro Times for the very, very, very bloody sidewalk. Muhuhahahahaaaaaa! It's just our special little way of saying, 'hello!
