VICTORIA ZOMBIE WALK: October 12th 2013
A zombie walk is an organized public gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes. Participants usually meet in an urban center and make their way around the city streets and public spaces (or a series of taverns in the case of a zombie pub crawl) in an orderly fashion.
Zombie walks are relatively common in large cities, especially in North America. Some have been established as annual traditions, though others are organized as spontaneous flash mob events or performance art.
An early flash mob-type gathering of zombies was hastily put together at the Gen Con gaming convention in Milwaukee in August 2000. The event was created to poke good-natured fun at the Vampire LARPers that were taking over large portions of the convention, and disrupt their games. Michael Yates, Mark Stafford, Jacob Skowronek and several others organized the event with roughly 60 participants. The event was later recorded in the book "40 Years of Gencon" with photos and recollections from the organizers. While it was rumored that the organizers were arrested and thrown out of the convention for their flash mob of zombies, they were simply questioned by security before being told to disband.
Zombie walk participants during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival in France
An early zombie parade event was held on 19 August 2001 in Sacramento, California. The event, billed as "The Zombie Parade," was the brain-child of Bryna Lovig, who suggested it to the organizers of the Trash Film Orgy as a way to promote their annual midnight film festival. It was held again on 27 July 2002, and has since become an annual event, drawing over 1000 participants in 2012.
The first such gathering specifically billed as a "zombie walk" occurred in October 2003 in Toronto. It was organized by local horror movie fan Thea Munster, and had only six participants. In subsequent years, the Zombie Walk grew tremendously in size. The Zombie Walk then moved to Vancouver, spreading the zombie walk tradition to that city. On 27 August 2005, over 400 participants proceeded through Vancouver's Pacific Centre mall, travelled on the SkyTrain (referred to for the event as the "SkyBrain" or the "BrainTrain"), and continued 35 blocks to Mountain View Cemetery. In 2011, Calgary held their first zombie walk along the downtown core. It has since become an annual event gathering, with over 1000 people each time and growing.

This zombie thing is wearing on me. I hoped to finish this one last night and then call it quits, bu it rarely works like that.
There's a few more in me, then we can move onto something else.

The other photos on my site
A few makeup friends wanted to have a little fun with zombie make up. We just made it to the site to catch the setting sun.
Zombie arm made from seitan, beets, onion, garlic, and parsnips, all on a bed of black beans, rice, and sautéed brussels sprouts.
The seitan is loosely based on this recipe: www.theppk.com/2011/11/seitan-roast-stuffed-with-shiitake...
The seitan is a dough made from vital wheat gluten, vegetable stock from scratch, tomato sauce, white wine, sesame oil, garlic & onion powder, paprika, ground ginger, thyme, salt, pepper, and bit of soy sauce.
The bones are just parsnips, and the tendons & blood are sautéed onions (cut in long strips), minced garlic, shaved beets, and sriracha sauce.
I put the arm in the oven at 375° for about 30 minutes, and served it on a bed of brown rice, black beans (home cooked), and brussels sprouts.
Just another Tuesday night...
