DETAILS:
* Have an obnoxiously garish seasonal sweater? A Santa hat? Elf shoes? Extra tinsel and/or battery-operated lights? Wear ‘em! Holiday attire is very strongly encouraged for all participants. We want our zombies looking festive while we carol through the Gaslamp! Even if it’s something as simple as draping yourself in paper snowflakes :D

* RSVP on Facebook!

* Please come dressed and made-up as a zombie (no masks). If you need makeup/supplies, please visit Gypsy Treasure in La Mesa, and tell ‘em the zombiewalk sent you! 

* First 20 zombies to show up between 2:15PM and 2:30PM, in holiday attire, and show proof that they are registered as an organ donor (either ID/license or printout from Donate Life California) will receive a goodybag and limited edition 2010 ZombieWalk:SanDiego holiday ornament! We’ve given different ornaments out every year since 2007, so don’t miss the opportunity to add to your collection! Rumor has it that Zombie Santa may be attending!

* We will also have ZW:SD t-shirts available – you can either pre-purchase them online (no longer available) or get them there. Save on shipping and get one for the favorite undead in your life! Proceeds from t-shirts go toward planning our 5 year anniversary event during Comic-Con 2011. We have sizes small through 2XL.

* We ask that you please familiarize yourselves with the walk guidelines, before arriving at the walk. This is important to make sure we have a walk that is fun and safe for everyone involved… and ensures our ability to continue holding zombiewalks in San Diego!

* As always, the walk is all-ages and free of charge to participate.

* Public transportation (SDMTS) is readily available in the area. There is also plenty of parking at various structures and lots nearby (Horton Plaza is free for a few hours, with validation, which can be obtained at specific parking kiosks throughout the mall). We strongly urge use of public transportation or carpooling.

Not the holiday event that we’d originally planned – which unfortunately had to be canceled this year, due to illnesses and a few other factors – but still something! Join ZombieWalk:SanDiego and the hilarious folks from Roar Theatre, as the living and undead make their way through San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, singing holiday tunes and handing out some tasty, tasty brains… I mean, uh… treats. Yeah.

Have an obnoxiously garish seasonal sweater? A Santa hat? Elf shoes? Extra tinsel and/or battery-operated lights? Wear ’em! Holiday attire is very strongly encouraged for all participants – zombies and humans alike – and we of course ask that you familiarize yourself with our usual walk guidelines to make sure everyone has a legal and safely festive time (and makes it to see 2010).

We’ll be meeting at the corner of 4th & Broadway, near the old Sam Goody (adjacent to Horton Plaza – this is the same location we typically meet at for Comic-Con walks), at 7:00PM. We will start caroling shortly after, so please don’t be late. There is plenty of parking at various structures and lots nearby. It is also close to many bus stops and a few trolley stations. We will not be providing makeup assistance for anyone, but we do encourage you to join us even if you are just in standard holiday attire and NOT a zombie – though we’d like to see as many zombies as possible!

Please RSVP either in the comments to this post, or on Twitter by sending a tweet to @sdzombiewalk, and letting us know that you’ll be joining us (and how many people will be joining you). We’d like to get a rough estimate, as we may have something cool for those who show up in holiday attire. In years past, we have had an annual holiday ornament… and if we’re going to continue the tradition this year, we need a deadcount!

If you have a business in the Gaslamp Quarter and would like the carolers to make a stop at your restaurant, store, bar, etc. please email us with your contact information and we’ll get in touch!
