The 2009 ZPC was a putrid, rotting, beer spattered event, which collected around 100LBS of miscellaneous non-perishable food items for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network. Thanks to CYP & WNRN for their assistance. We will be back in March for the St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl, don’t you worry.

Charlottesville Young Professionals, 91.9 WNRN, & cVillain are inviting YOU to come and get your Zombie on, Friday, October 30th. The event is scheduled to kick off @ 10:10PM on the Downtown Mall, and we will be crawling our fleshless, thirsty way through South Street Brewery, The X-Lounge, Blue Light, ZoCaLo, Rapture, and ending with a dance party @ Ventana.
This event is a benefit for the Jefferson Area Food Bank, so please bring a non-perishable food item to donate.
We will provide more details as the event creeps closer, so stay tuned!
Very real. With warnings of preparedness and self-education, dozens of people are trying to spread the message to the unaware and ignorant public through road signs and online portals, such as Don’t Eat My Brain (how can you not believe a chick whose dream weapon for fighting the undead insurgents is a pink Ruger 10/22?) and the Zombie Defense Initiative.
Here are a few, apparently universal facts about zombies:
1. Zombies are not fast nor are they problem-solvers (despite movies like 28 Days Later; infected humans are not zombies). They are tenacious, though, and their persistance pays off by eventually nomming on your flesh or cracking your skull open like an oyster shell to chew your brain.
The lower Covenant School has decided to shut down Thursday classes because over 20% of its students have the flu. Seems like a necessary precaution, but the question is, when will it spread to the rest of Charlottesville and shut down UVA and our workplaces?
Is it just me or does Charlottesville seem crazy dead this week? I know all hell is going to break loose in the upcoming graduation week, but the downtown mall seems so empty. What gives?! This weekend seemed pretty slow to me too.
