Tucson Zombie Walk

I love love love the Zombie Walk! Well folks it was last night and the turn out was great! Next year I want it to be even better. This year the theme was zombies from space. It is so fun for everyone to be dressed up and this truly is family friendly.
We are for sure coming next year and cannot wait!

BRAINS!
Last year was the first time I attended Tucson’s Zombie Walk. The 80’s theme meant that Josh (my boyfriend) and I dressed up as Prombies. My look included a polka dot dress, silver pumps, and a side pony tail while Josh opted for a polyester suit.
We arrived in time for the Thrill the World competition, during which people all over the globe perform the Thriller Dance in unison. We watched the costume contests (I believe Zombie Pee Wee Herman won overall best costume), ate ice cream, and waited for the walk to begin. This was my only complaint; the wait between the festivities and the walking felt a little long. Still, there were hundreds of other zombies gathered, and the mood was very positive. As positive as zombies can be, anyway.
Once the walk began, things picked up. As we passed people on 4^th Ave, some looked terrified. Others were confused. Most were impressed.
Chants of:
What do we want?
BRAAAINS!
When do we want it?
BRAAAINS!
Came from the group as we all did our best zombie shuffles around downtown Tucson.
We are going again this Saturday, and I’m hoping the change of location (to Club Congress) and another year’s experience will help things run a little more smoothly. Should you opt to attend, the theme of this year’s Zombie Walk is Film Fiends. You can catch me as Marilyn Monrombie from the Seven Year Itch and Josh as The (Zombie) Dude.
