Zombie Walk
In conjunction with Kingdom-Con (http://www.kingdom-con.com) – a new
gaming convention here in San Diego, being held at Town and Country
Resort and Convention Center – Zombie Walk : San Diego’s next walk
will be in downtown San Diego, on Saturday, April 17th, 2010. The walk
will be followed by a costume contest and live music at Town and
Country Resort and Convention Center (http://www.towncountry.com) in
Fashion Valley. You can find more information on the contest & music
at the Kingdom-Con website.
We will be meeting at 5:00PM near the fountain, on the corner of 4th
Avenue & Broadway, in the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. THE
WALK WILL BEGIN AT PROMPTLY AT 5:15PM. We will be shambling through
the Gaslamp Quarter. We ask that you please FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF 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!
As always, THE WALK IS ALL-AGES AND FREE OF CHARGE to participate. The
walk is open to EVERYONE, not just convention attendees!
Please come DRESSED AS A ZOMBIE (no masks). If you need assistance
with zombie makeup, there will be a makeup table set up at Kingdom-Con
for attendees of the convention. If you’d prefer to do it yourself, we
always advise people to visit Gypsy Treasure
(http://www.gypsytreasure.com) in La Mesa.
Public transportation (SDMTS) is readily available from Fashion Valley
- and all of San Diego – to the downtown area. You can visit their
trip planner at http://www.sdmts.com
There is also plenty of parking around the meet-up location, downtown.
Parking validation in the Horton Plaza structure is free for three
hours, when shopping at Horton Plaza between 7am and 9pm. They do NOT
allow zombies on-property, though. Security will quickly escort you
outside. So we’re just passing along that info, should you choose to
use it or not.
