Dancing Down at Fort Myers' Zombie Zoo

"Dancing Down at the Zombie Zoo..." Come one, come all, to Zombicon 2007! Bring your dead heads, hands, and everything else. In honor of George Romero's 25th anniversary (next year), they have tried to start a "micro trend" of honoring the zombie. When I first heard about this, my first thought was "this is going to be 10 people, 8 goth kids, and 2 old farts curious". But... I had to see. So we ventured downtown to the Patio de Leon to check it out on Saturday night (10/20/2007).

Well, my assessment was definitely not dead on. There must have been a few hundred people. Zombies, the curious, the goths, the TINKs, the Boomers, the Halloweeny dressed up kiddies. It was a good time for all. Between the face painting, the zombies walking around, and the fire dancers, it was a morbid good time! Space 39's artists were definitely of the macabre, but I still cannot get into the deep fried stuffed animals with the syringes (the Dark Art exhibit was actually done quite well, I especially liked the tribute to Dali).




BTW, 99x's Jen The Rock Bitch, you are welcome for the diet bud, and Patio 33, thanks for the view.
