In case you missed it (the site has been swamped for a day), the CDC has posted a helpful "Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide."

If you live in or near Lawrence, don't miss tonight's Downtown Lawrence Zombie Walk! The event runs - rather, shambles - from 8:30pm to 10:00pm, with zombies gathering and finishing at the gazebo in South Park. If you plan to become zombified yourself, show up a little early.

Some video evidence of last year's carnage:


Here's a story about last year's event. I'm thinking of watching the walk from the safety of Harbour Lights or perhaps Jackpot Saloon if I can find a table near the window.

Undead fun!

Thanks to jensixstones for the tip!

Meteor, giant crater, strange odor, sick villagers... could it be zombies?

woo-oooo-oooo,
Chris

Here's an explanation of how yesterday's zombie-ism was cured.

Now what I want to know is how Tatsuko got her paws on the cure? Thank you, whomever it was, who gave her that little baggie.

I can't really remember much after about 3pm yesterday. In fact, what I remember from yesterday is confusing and unlikely. What I do recall most clearly is seeing tatsuko_shikibu standing over me on the cool tiles of the living room floor, shaking a baggie of some kind of dust. When I opened my eyes, she scampered away, but now she appears to have settled down and is grooming herself on the rug.

My finger still hurts like hell and looks to have a nasty infection. Did a person really bite me? Hm. My front window is broken, and I seem to be responsible for nailing plywood over my windowframes.

Okay, time to lay off the adrenaline-packed movies late at night.

Because what I seemed to remember was a bit upsetting, I headed out to celebrate gmskarka's birthday tonight at 23rd St. Brewery, then music at the Jackpot. I left early on account of being tired (sorry, Spooklights!) and thought I'd check LJ before going to sleep. I figure I'll clear out the boards over the windows tomorrow.

I hope y'all're well.

Best,
Chris

I don't know what to do. Dad smells funny now and all he says is, "Brains." (I understand English just fine - see, I can type it! - but my mouth can't make the words right.) At least he's not making that big sound with the gun any more.

I smell smoke from fires, too. I'm scared.

The good news: Yo and I dispatched the mob of zombies, all 104 of them (we counted).

The bad news: Yo is out of ammo, as am I.

The worse news: We ran out before we'd taken them all down, which meant we ended the battle in hand-to-hand combat. I won't even attempt to describe how revolting that was, sawing off heads that stank like ancient sewers and slaughter-houses.

The worst news: I got bit on the finger. The damned creature bit right through my leather gauntlet and broke the skin on the middle finger of my left hand.

I sure hope that zombie-ism isn't contagious like in the movies....

I can't log in right now but Dad just wanted me to post and tell you that I'm okay. He put me in the bedroom with my own laptop (and chloe_hamster). It's been a scary day so far. The air smells funny. But it will be okay.
