Well, it started in a quick downpour and ended in high spirits – with 200 undead shambling three miles around downtown Vancouver, Zombie Walk 2007 is now over.
The Ghostbusters were vastly outnumbered (above, left to right – Brendan, yours truely, and Colin), but it was enough fun that we’re planning on expanding it next year – a large number of pamphlets were handed out to amused bystanders (and one police officer), and we sold $50 in I ♥ Zombies pins which will be going to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital (it might not sound like a lot, but it was very spur of the moment, plus with 200 zombies and 100 pins, that’s a good percentage sold.)
Anyone wanting to have a look a the pamphlet can see side one and side two online. (full sized versions for those without Flickr accounts here and here.)
Want a pin? Same deal as last time PC made buttons – send a self-addressed envelope and a buck to cover postage (or two, if you want to add to the Children’s Hospital pot.) to me. Email me for further details.
Total blast, even in the rain. Created a cool mood. Love the costumes you guys. Can’t wait to show off mine when it’s done.
Ryan, great running into you – can’t wait to add you to the crew next year!
Argh. Wish I could have been in Vancouver. Unfortunately frivolous things like my job and school kept me right where I am. Good job though guys!
I do have some pics, where and how do I post them?
Thanks for the report. I updated the GBI site with an update from the walk.
I appreciate you uploading the zombie pamphlet. I “mirrored” it on the GBI site.
Sounds like you guys had a great time, wonder if there is a “walk” by me.
Ryan – dunno, but if you get yourself a free flickr account, you can not only host the pictures there, but you can add them to the zombie walk photo group (and if you tag them “ghostbusters” they’ll show up on the PC nav bar on the left.)
Spengs – thanks for posting about it. Glad you got a kick out of the pamphlet.
You guys are lucky. I proposed a few GB’s for last years Zombie walk here in RIchmond, VA. It got shot down…they all said it really wouldn’t fit unless I was an undead GB…which would still be neat…PEOPLEBUSTERS STYLE! But yeah I may re=propose this year…mind if I borrow the pamphlet…giving credit where it’s due?
Sure, borrow away.
We had some people confused about the Ghostbusters being there too – most people aren’t familiar with the cartoon, which is where the GBs tussle with everything. But, they fought a wizard in the second movie – surely that pops the “they only fight ghosts” idea.
