THE AFTERPARTY:
Following the walk, we invite all 21+ zombies to join us at The Lincoln Room (901 4th Avenue) for Happy Hour of the Undead. The Lincoln Room will be giving happy hour prices to all zombies (must be in makeup/costume) before AND after the walk! We’ll be rotting there prior to the walk, so drop by and say hey and then come back with us after we get our shamble on through the Gaslamp. You can also pick up a ZombieWalk:SanDiego t-shirt for the special Halloween price of $10!
THE AFTER-AFTERPARTY:
We’ll be going to get our decrepit dance on into the wee hours of the night at Club Sabbat’s Halloween Party, at The Flame, located at 3780 Park Blvd. Club Sabbat starts at 9:00PM; cover charge is $11 and it is also 21+ only.
