Zombie Shuffles 2011 USA&DOWN UNDER

 AUSTRALIA, Melbourne

So far, there is 6,994 Attending. But that is Facebook so I doubt that many are actually going, but it looks like it will be huge. Hey, I'm all for it, I remember the last time I dressed as a life-like zombie it took 3 hours and a lot of imagination for a drunk event where I ended up bored and at KFC scaring the workers. Sadly I'll have to pass out on this event. Why?- Because the last pictures I saw were just a group of dorks walking the streets of Melbourne pushing baby strollers, carrying shopping, talking on the phone, drinking red bull. A Real zombie shuffle is supposed to be shuffle, not a walk. Why can't you act like a zombie for 5 minutes instead of an idiot with sticky red syrup plastered on your face and a ripped t-shirt from savers. If enough people can go that will take this seriously, (there is a reason for the no "dickhead" rule to be put twice), then yes I will go and have a blast. (Hey!- I am promoting this on here, not bashing it)  Here is all the details from the Facebook page, and if it sounds great to you- Why not go? Round up your mates, and have a fun day out!

Time
Sunday, October 30 · 1:00pm - 4:30pm

Location
Melbourne (precise locations TBA)

Ready your finest gore, the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle 2011 is GO! Check back regularly for updated information, but for now, mark Sunday 30th October - aka Halloween Eve - in your zombie diary!

In the meantime, here are the rules that help make this a successful zombie walk.
 The RULES
:
1. NO DICKHEADS. We might all be undead, but we also pride ourselves on running an event that is enjoyable for all. Violence, destruction of property, and general toolishness will NOT be tolerated. If you are going to stage a 'zombie attack', make sure you've cleared it with your "victim" beforehand.

1.a. NO VIOLENCE/REALISTIC WEAPONS. Yes, this may seem like an odd request given the nature of the event, but keep realistic weapons, water pistols, water bombs etc to a minimum - in fact, we'd prefer it if you didn't bring them at all. The Melbourne Zombie Shuffle operates with the cooperation of Victoria Police, so we don't want that thrown into jeopardy by the actions of a few nongs who think they're in an Eli Roth film, thanks.

2. RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. Keep your blood and guts to yourself (or other consenting zombies). No splattering passersby, no glooping people's shops, shopfronts or stock, no scaring children, old people or animals (unless they are participating in the shuffle!). This is of utmost importance. Last year a small handful of participants very nearly spoiled the event for everyone by acting like aggro idiots and banging on windows of cafes. Anyone spotted doing this will be dispatched to the relevant authorities.

3. OBEY THE ROAD RULES. We don't want you to get killed again; keep the horde to the sidewalks, cross on the green man, don't block traffic, etc. If the Police or Zombie Wardens tell you to stop doing something, THEN STOP DOING IT.

4. HAVE FUN! This is the most important rule of all - get into it! Don't stand around worrying if your blood looks real enough, or feeling awkward - embrace your inner undead!

5. NO DICKHEADS. Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.
