I'm still compiling, See below for links to flickr pool and other info on the
zombie walk.
Tag us in your " Best of" shots on myspace. I won' t be accepting photos of
blood smeared
on businesses or private property. ( We' re in Biiig trouble for that, you knew
it was against
the rules. GRRR)
Also as a sugge stion to those who did any smear ing, you might not want to show
yours
elf doing so, just a recommendation. If anyone wants to chip in on the fine we
have please
get in touch with me. (portlandzombiewalk@...) Guilty parties especially
encouraged to help out, even if it's with a couple of $$, no questions asked. We
want to be
able to do this again next year.
also if you attended the walk and didnt go into the show, please donate to
Oregon Food
Bank through <a href="http://www.firstgiving.com/portlandzombiewalk">this
page</a>.
It's a secure site and you can donate any amount you like, even if it's $2. The
money goes
directly to Oregon Food Bank! Thanks.

The 4th Annual Portland Zombie Walk was awesome. Thank you all Zombies that
attended
the walk. The weather was perfect and I had a blast walking with over 1000
zombies. I've
still been trying to tally up exactly how many people attended. We had 1000 at
least.
Portland also boasted at least 13 different infant zombies! 7 dog zombies, and
over 40
children zombies!! Zombie Jesus and his followers were blessing people, Zombie
baby
popping out of MommyZombies womb was looking frightfully cute with sibling
toddler
zombie, and <b>Thrill The World </b>performers made my day. Be sure to check out
their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ttwpdx">website</a> so you can participate
next year!! <br><br>Please post any photos you have:<br><a
href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/60784064@N00/pool/"> to our flickr
pool</a><br>or send me a link at portlandzombiewalk@...<br><br><b>I had a
great time. Unfortunately we walked a little briskly and made it to the show
waaaaay
before it was going to start. Barely anyone stuck around, I REALLY want to thank
those of
you that did. We broke even and made $50. Now that isn't really the donation I
was
hoping to give the Oregon Food Bank, SOO....<br><br> <a
href="http://www.firstgiving.com/portlandzombiewalk"> I made this
page</a><br>please check it out</b><br><br>There are countless people I need to
thank for the following:<br><br><b>CLEAN UP CREW:</b> <a

tNEVDNi1CMDBFNjcyOTg1RTRDMDJDODQ1ODk2ODQ="> who posted some pictures
here</a>, they retraced the route, bought cleaning supplies and cleaned fake
blood off
store fronts for 2 hours. We ALL owe them a thank you. This should have never
occurred
in the first place. If we want the Portland Zombie Walk to happen another year
we have to
respect the rules. This isn't a chance for you to damage private or public
property. I know
it's hard to be that person but we should remind, and stop, others when we see
them
doing this type of "criminal mischief" as Portland's finest put it. Next year,
don't come to
our walk if you think you won't be able to control yourself. <br><br><b>ZOMBIE
WRANGLERS:</b><br>
- Kaebel Hashitani from <a

you're
completely in charge. <br> - security<br> - promotion<br> - clean-up (just in
case)<br><br>We also need money to do all these things, or free stuff. So If you
have
those types of connections please let us know. As in, making color posters,
photocopies,
stickers, cleaning supplies etc. <br><br>Send me an E-mail to
portlandzombiewalk@... with the subject of the team you would like to work

<br><br>Thanks! See you next year!<br>Blanca
