2008 Zombie March

[midorionna.livejournal.com]

Hello Undead Friends...

As there was little progress made in a previous thread about this year's Zombie march (which seems at this point to be non-existant, due to lack of the previous organizers' web presence and publicity)- I'd like to ensure that we've got a zombie march in which to lurch.

I'm happy to make some fliers if anyone would like to print them out and distribute them soon. The thing I'd like to establish is the date. A Saturday night is optimal, from 4:00 at Davis until 7ish in Central at perhaps the People's Republic for a gathering spot.

I'd like to do this on April 26th, anyone want to help out by publicizing? Any serious qualms?


I'll decide on the logistics in about a week, once people have added their two cents, then create a suitably undead poster for distribution unless a fabulous graphic designer/artist would like to lend their skills.


Grahhh.

Just be sure to advertise it heavily well in advance so I can make arrangements to be out of town, whenever it is.

Though I can't be part of it on that day, I'm glad to hear someone is trying to keep the tradition going! :)

IFF in town

Independent Film festival at the Somerville, which means that if your march happens on this date, it'll probably get a lot of indy coverage.

However, a lot of the usual zombie crowd may also be film buffs, like me, and too busy with the festival to go off and lurch.

That's also NEFFA weekend, this year in Mansfield. There's probably some overlap between Zombies and the NEFFA types.

You DO realize that both IFF Boston AND ROFLcon are already fighting for part of the same audience that weekend? And that these are both activities that people who would be attracted to this even are likely to be enaged in?

[midorionna.livejournal.com]

part of posting this was to do exactly what is being pointed out- find problems in the time i was thinking the zombie march could happen.

[ron_newman]

first I've heard of "ROFLcon"

[fontia.livejournal.com]

definitely check it out!

I'm trying to plan...er, something for a few of us zombies that want to partake in the march this year. My vote is for May only 'cause it gives people more time to prepare.

Either way, though, please keep us updated!

Sometime in May would definitely be better--the 10th or 17th, maybe?

SECONDED!

May would be best!

Re: SECONDED!

[midorionna.livejournal.com]

cool. anyone want to organize? i think may is going to be too busy for me to handle it.

Re: SECONDED!

[voodoodollie167.livejournal.com]

Well, I would organize it, except that I don't have the contacts to get in touch with the police force that is on for help and all the legal stuff.

Re: SECONDED!

[midorionna.livejournal.com]

oh, neither do i. i suspect it's all in just notifying the police, it's been done for two years, i'm sure they just need prior notice.

Re: SECONDED!

[voodoodollie167.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it's really all that easy. I'm sure that there would at the very least be a need for a peacful assembly license or somethingorother.... I really don't know anything about the legalities... do we know who ran the last 2? I found a guy on myspace that looked to be an integral part of the last 2 and sent him a friends request, so hopefully he'll get back to me.

Facebook event planned

[djayenzyme.livejournal.com]

Hope you don't mind strangers posting but I happen to be googling the march and found this post. Wanted to let you know about a facebook event that I also happened upon planned for May 24th. It doesn't seem to have been completely planned out, as the logistics of meeting/ending locations aren't posted.

Somerville Zombie March

[darkprincess74.livejournal.com]

Any news on this? I don't know that this happened but if it hasn't and you still are interested in putting it together then I'd like to help too. Let me know, we could put it together, could be totally fun.

Hey! I'd LOVE to help with this too.

Just let me know what I can do.
