Postlude to a zombie walk

I'm busy busy busy today but I just have to get in a quick post about the zombie walk. It went off more or less without a hitch and I was again impressed with the turnout and the amazing creativity of the horror-obsessed in this town. I mean, seriously. I love being able to help foster an outlet that is so much fun for so many people. It's corny, but I love that part of it. I love hearing onlookers talk about the zombie walk — "they do it every year," I heard someone say; "there's three ways to become a zombie" I heard some well-dressed young woman explain to her friend as they saw us pass — and it tickles me to no end to think that it's becoming some kind of yearly Memphis cultural staple.

Spring is zombie time in Memphis, Tenn. I love it, love it, love it.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the walk (full set is here), but there are a ton of much better ones in the official Flickr pool here.





















Sorry, gotta post one more of this baby. The kid looked absolutely gobsmacked.
