2010 Albany Zombie Walk

Getting gruesome.

After applying way too much makeup for last year's zombie events, I was hesitant to doll myself up as dramatically. However, since WAMC provided makeup artists at the walk meetup location, I decided to go for it anyway!

Zombies started congregating for the walk at 3pm, and by the time 5pm rolled around we had a nice big group. Thank you to AOA Greg for stopping by to capture some pictures of the walk. Check out the post on AOA.

The Walk went very well. I loved people's reactions as they watched from store fronts. Zombie Squad was there to keep back zombies from getting to close to the innocent. We also had mounted police to control the flow of traffic. Sadly no firetruck.

Update: Photos by Sebastien B.: http://barre.me/2010/10/25/albany-zombie-walk-2010/  He got a picture of Haggis on her skates, and my favorite zombie with the numbers on her face.  Woohoo.  Thanks for coming out to shoot! Full slideshow here.

Once we got to the parking lot of the Linda, there was a Thriller Dance Off as well as a Brain Eating Contest. I wanted to grab dinner with some Hellions before the prom started. I rounded up my friends but couldn't find Mathundra....where was she?

Find out after the jump...

Zombie Walk/Prom Teaser

The Zombie Walk and Prom were on Saturday, and it was so much fun! Here I am at the end of the walk in the parking lot of the Linda.

I also want to note that the best part of this photo is the guy with the clown wig and the unicycle in the background.  It takes all types to put on a zombie walk.

During the walk, I have to give a big shout out to the Zombie Squad for working with us in an official capacity this year. They were so professional also a tremendous help throughout the weekend. And great at keeping unruly zombies in line throughout the walk.

Before the prom, 14 of us stopped over to Shining Rainbow on Central Avenue for dinner. We were obviously quite a site. Definitely got some looks from the other patrons, but the owners were very welcoming.

Anyway, I plan to highlight some of the fun stuff from the walk and prom this week, so stay tuned.
