ZC3! 3rd annual Alameda Zombie Bar Crawl

Dress up as a Zombie and join the horde! Crawl 6 bars, mingle with fellow undead and enjoy drink specials made by our local necromantic bartenders. Bars will include Lucky 13, Fireden, Lost Weekend, Hobnob, Scobies and Churchward. Event is open to everyone 21 and over. There is no itinerary this year, zombies should feel free to roam wherever they like.

This event also helps a local non profit, braininjuryconnection.org "Save the Brains" find the charity info link below, You can Join and get people to pledge a dollar for each of the six Bars you visit as a zombie, make donations yourself, Submit Zombie themed art for the Inkwell Gallery Zombie Art show in October and many other fun and creative ideas.

We will be doing a kid friendly pre event potluck picnic & BBQ at Jackson Park to get everyone fed and do makeup prep and photos. This will begin as early as 2 p.m. and for the kids I think we're going to do a crawl to Tuckers Ice cream parlor.

Please respect personal and public property and help ensure Zombies remain welcome in Alameda every year. We do not condone drunk driving! Find a place to stay, plan on taking a cab or arrange a designated driver. There are many fine hotels close by. 

Keep checking back for more details as they develop. I've switched the end time for this page simply to allow post event commenting. The event is 10/15/11 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. of Sept. 16 with a 24 hour post event comment window.
