The O.G. RVA Zombie
It feels like we’ve always been here, but like all things there was a beginning. We wouldn’t have grown to such catastrophic numbers if it hadn’t been for Rog, the O.G. Zombie Master.
Let’s take gander at the first 3 years. Come, walk with me..

Let the love fest begin!
What’s all the fuss about anyways? Why is it that the public’s crush on zombies continues to thrive after so many years? True love never dies I suppose and in this case it never has.

I missed the 2008 Richmond Zombie Walk, because it was raining. It was raining at my home, but not at the location for the Zombie Walk, a few mere miles away, but how could I know this? Zombies cannot operate phone technology—it requires too much manual finger dexterity, and smashing phones against solid objects (the extent of their phone skills) rarely results in the desired effect.

I’m totally getting this shirt by Travis Pitts.
I knew she’d be the one to survive the zombie apocalypse. I always liked her the best.
Last Saturday, Richmond’s undead gathered in Carytown for the fifth annual Zombie Walk. The event doubled in size from last year, drawing nearly 400 participants, according to organizers Anthony Meñez and Josh Bishop.

The Street Smart Campaign, an annual public education, awareness and behavioral change campaign in the Washington, DC, suburban Maryland and northern Virginia area is hosting an event in Georgetown themed “Don’t Be a Zombie. Walk and Drive Alive!” on Thursday, October 29th at 2 p.m to raise awareness about the importance of pedestrian safety, specifically prior to Halloween (a date known for a significantly high number of pedestrian deaths, particularly children) and the change to Standard Time when it gets darker earlier and becomes more difficult for pedestrians and bikers to be seen by drivers.
They are looking for individuals who would be interested in attending the event dressed as zombies and carrying cell phones, blackberrys, and PDAs, to stage a street crossing as distracted pedestrians and illustrate the dangers of not paying attention.
Date: Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 2:00pm
Location: Georgetown: Intersection of K Street NW and Wisconsin Ave. NW under the Whitehurst Freeway
Ask of Zombies: To attend event dressed as zombies with cell phone, blackberry, PDA in hand, and stage a street crossing as distracted pedestrians. Also to be in the background of any remarks and media interviews given. Zombie attire is mandatory, and there is no limit to the number that can attend. The more the merrier!
Post or view commentsIt was a major success this year as the rain spared us yet again. Someone up there likes us.
Thanks to all of our participants and everyone who came out to see us. We easily broke last year’s attendance. The final participant count went way over 400+. Something we honestly did not expect.
Thanks for all of your donations. It’s a good cause that we hope to contribute to every year. This time around you broke every previous year’s contributions combined with over $600+. Holy smokes!
If you have any good footage we’d love to see it. We have a brand spanking new group on Flickr called “Richmond Zombie Walk“. So if you’re willing to share, we’d love to see your photos and videos and we’ll try to feature them here on the site gallery (to come).
Now just because the walk is over doesn’t mean we’ll be crawling back into the ground until next year. We’ll be popping up now and again throughout the year to say “Hi” and to share stuff we like. So bookmark us and come back to see us once in a while.
Again, thank you all. We enjoyed spending time with my RVA Zombies and I hope to see everyone next year.
bloody kisses,

The replacement.
I was recently informed of the restrictions surrounding the use of my fez. It was never a concern in the past, but now with all of the attention, I’ve taken it upon myself to get a replacement. So I am immediately “ceasing and desisting”. I never intended to represent (or misrepresent) the ACCA Shriners. Apologies goes out to the organization. We are taking steps to remove unintended associations between the Richmond Zombie Walk and the ACCA.
I’ll still be me. Just with a new, generic fez.
Thanks for your understanding.
