It was great again- and a lot more people this time. Thanks to the organizers! It would be great if there was a place where we knew we could get food. Last year, I couldn't get anything at Qh and the guy at Gaylord freaked when Icame in and ordered samosas to go. This year, we ate at home

The folks at Big Greek Cafe, bless their hearts, barely batted an eyelash when I went in to grab something to eat (QH was proving to be impossible, which bummed me out because I was hungry for one of their burgers). Then again, I get lunch at Big Greek about once a week so they're used to me.

We were extremely disappointed in Piratz Tavern. We got there at 8 and waited for half an hour before we even got drinks at our table. And there certainly were no specials, or Squid Ink shots! We never got to order, because around 9 we realized there was no way we would get our food in time to join the zombie horde for the walk. We bailed and headed to Panera for bagels instead. But I relished in freaking out passers-by at our table next to the window!

For next year, what about a way for people to RSVP as Official Zombie Slayers? Keep the vigilanteism under control.

Maybe even suggest that if a Zombie gets blood on your neck, you should switch sides...

Anon 2 - MoCo College is a ood idea - could walk straight up Fenton go up Bonifant to stumble by Quarry and Piratz too then up Georgia to Colesville and AFI. I bet if you asked nicely they might even give you the space gratis as a "community service."

Here's a story/photos in the Wall Street Journal about a zombie walk where Dawn of the Dead was filmed in Pennsylvania.

First of all, I had a GREAT time on Saturday. As for locations next year, I know that Montgomery College will rent out the fairly large lobby space of their new performing arts center for events, but I've heard it's expensive. That location would make for a longer zombie walk to the theater, though, which woudl be cool...we could trudge along eastern avenue, up colesville road (and under the metro station), then cut through the parking lot by panera to walk up Ellsworth.

RE: Park

That area might be a little too small/exposed for what we need. The idea, also, is to eliminate the need for bars. Food & Drink would be served there.

Re: Civic Center

That idea came up, but who knows what their rules will be. It'd definitely a possibility.

Damn, the old Armory would have been perfect!

Don't forget that by this time next year we're supposed to have a civic center designed to host community events. Not sure if it will be able to handle 400+ zombies looking for beer, but it would be worth keeping in mind.

What about the small park on the corner of Wayne and Georgia? Plenty of space, and close enough to the bars.

Congratulations on a terrific event! If the Hook and Ladder pub opens by next fall, maybe the walk can start there. It looks like a big enough space.
