The 3rd Annual DC Zombie Lurch November 1, 2008

Whether you want to fight for zombie rights, seek out living flesh or devour human brains, the DC Zombie Lurch is for you! If you're a horror fan, a zombie-nut, an acting enthusiast, a makeup buff, or just someone who digs the idea of doing something new, crazy & different, come join us for an evening of groaning, shambling, mock-picketing n' general undead-goodness!

Meet us at the base of the Washington Monument (on the sidewalk outside of the ring of flags, on the other side of the street facing the Mall), in your favorite tattered, torn, mangled and mauled zombie gear! Arrive as one of the recently arisen, a newly infected Rage/bite victim, or don your ancient best and come as one of the long-lost dead! Has your zombie been through a few bouts of battle w/human kind? Is it missing a limb or two, had a few bullet holes blown into it, or does it wear a map of acid burns on its greying skin? It's all up to you- just use your imaginatino, have fun w/makeup, and go for it! ^_^ Does your zombie have something to say? Join the "protest!" All zombies are welcome and encouraged to bring mock signs picketing for things like zombie rights, undead awareness, and more. :) (Just remember, no profanity or hateful messages, please.) Think "I'm undead n' I still vote!" or "Glad to be Grey," & come w/your $2 lurch fee and however much you'd like to donate to the ASPCA (in the form of a check or cash, please), a Metro ticket, Fast Pass or the $1.85 to get a farecard on the way, and you're set!

So what's in store for the Lurch? First, our Pre-Lurch Meet n' Makeup! Anyone who'd like to meet up ahead of time w/friends. & anyone who might need some help w/makeup, costuming & so on is invited to do so at the Monument, up to 1 hour prior to LurchTime. :D Come anytime from 4pm on, so by 5 we'll all be ready to head off on our ghoulish, gory way!

At 5PM, get ready to scourge the streets of DC w/your friends, family, acting troupe, gaming group or horror circle for a night of true zombie fun & horror-ific madness! First we'll zig-zag around the city for a time, & then go underground- to hit the Metro @ Judiciary Square! From there we'll ride just a bit up to Silver Spring, where we'll take a quick shamble over to The Piratz Tavern! That's where we'll be ending our Lurch, and where WE PARTY!!!

That's right! This year the famed Piratz Tavern has graciously agreed to become a Lurch end-spot that'll knock your grave-kicking socks off!! Somewhere around 8pm we'll arrive to take part in all the cool stuff the Tavern has waiting for our motley band of dead-ites! Bring the crew out for a night of fun zombie-related food, drinks (both adult & kid-friendly- including their traditional grog & a few zombie-themed concoctions), n' join us for a wickedly wonderful evening fit for the whole family!!
