<\/a><\/p>\nThe horde of zombies will gather on Beale Street outside the New Daisy at 6:30, and about 7:15 they will begin their march down Beale, turning north on Second, west on Peabody Place, then\u00a0south on Main and walking through the South Main Trolley Art Tour.\u00a0 The zombie walk will end at the back room of Earnestine & Hazel’s, where the Creeping Cruds will play their after-party.\u00a0 Here’s the map of the route:<\/p>\n
The zombies invite you to join them.\u00a0 Three ways you can do it:<\/p>\n 1) Show up at the parking lot next to the Plush Club at 5 PM, and professional make-up artists will hardcore zombify you.<\/p>\n 2) Do your own makeup and clothes, and arrive at the New Daisy around 6:30.<\/p>\n 3) Stand somewhere on the route wearing an “X” made out of duct tape, on clothes you don’t mind having ruined.\u00a0 The zombies will see you and attack you, turning you into a second-generation zombie in the process.<\/p>\n Here’s a page<\/a> with lots of zombie makeup tips.<\/p>\n I’ll be down there (but not zombified) and will take pictures.\u00a0 Hmmm… since Bluff City Coffee is nearby, maybe I’ll stop in and get one of those Acai Plus Smoothies that AL talks about all the time.\u00a0 Maybe I’ll remain down there after Trolley Tour and hang out at Nate’s bar at E&H\u00a0later in the evening.<\/p>\n Good news for those of you who are fans of Commercial Appeal writer Skipford M. “Skippy” Blank.\u00a0 Skippy, who\u00a0uses the nom de plume<\/em> “Christopher Blank” for his CA columns to protect his identity, now has a video feature on the CA’s Appeal TV.\u00a0 Just go to the CA’s homepage and look for Appeal TV on the right side.\u00a0 Then select “Memphis stage shows” from the menu underneath the video screen to watch a 3:42 video of Skippy summarizing the plays and musicals you can see in Memphis this weekend.\u00a0 Skippy even has a tie on for this feature.<\/p>\n To tie this entire post together, I’ll end with a pic of Zombie Skippy from the 2007 Memphis Zombie Massacre:<\/p>\n The second annual Memphis Zombie Massacre happens today. The horde of zombies will gather on Beale Street outside the New Daisy at 6:30, and about 7:15 they will begin their march down Beale, turning north on Second, west on Peabody Place, then\u00a0south on Main and walking through the South Main Trolley Art Tour.\u00a0 The zombie … Continue reading “Today’s the big day.
