Zombie flash mob hits Madison: [link]
At 2pm on Saturday, October 22, zombie fans will assemble in full costume to kick off Zombie Lurch 2005. Join us! We'll meet on the Capitol steps (Carroll/Mifflin side), shamble down State Street with stops for tasty brains and beverages, and end at the Union Terrace for even more beverages.
To add a particularly Madisonian touch, it's not just a Zombie Walk but a Zombie Protest. Fight for zombie rights by bringing a protest sign, sandwich board, or customized t-shirt. With slogans like Let Zombies Walk!, The undead are people too! Open your heart and mind to zombies, or even an eloquent ARGH, we'll raise public consciousness for the plight of our cannibalistic brothers and sisters. What do we want? BRAINS! When do we want it? BRAINS!
recap: [link]
The range of makeup, costumes, vocal groaning enthusiasm, and clever protest signs was awe-inspiring. There was no way I could stay in character in the face of People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies, Show Me Your Brains (complete with Mardi Gras beads), Brains 3:16, and Support Proposition I-8U. There were many more brilliant slogans: look through the photo galleries for examples.
OMG Laura is getting mooned by a hurricane!!
In slightly more dignified news, happy birthday to Kate! Hurry and celebrate now, since the same rude hurricane seems headed directly for us, so that the mooning and cold rain may continue.
Kate P., you sneakypants! Happy birthday!
MSBELLE!!!
do you have floor heaters? or the big wall ones that are really hot?
We have the wall kind, also known as the warm-your-butt kind. But we fear that wee ones will try to touch them, so we tell Franny that the heaters are very "owie."
happy birthday kateP.
have you turned on your heat yet? How do you decide when to turn on the heat? What do you set the thermostat to?
Not on yet. 62 - 63 when I wake up in the morning, but it usually warms up so with window opening I can get the house to 67/68. Not toasty , but ok.
in the winter 60 when no one is home. 68 when we are. it has been 65 at night. I think we are going to drop it at night and use the eletric balnket.
When will I turn on the heat? When I can't get the house over 62 durring the day. or we wake up to house colder than 60. mid november is the hope.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE P!!!!
Happiest of birthdays, Kate!
You can't see, but I'm clapping my hands and singing Happy Birthday right now, AIFG.
