I'll be posting these in our blog soon, but I just wanted to let you guys in on the details that we do have for the time being...
WHAT: Second Annual Comic-Con Zombie Walk!
WHEN: Saturday, July 26th, 2008
There a few options for time... and we'll be leaving it up to you guys to decide...
1. Mid-morning:
If we start the walk mid-morning (around 10:30 or 11am), there will be more parking available, most people will just be arriving for the convention, so we'll be the first thing they see as they're walking from their cars to the convention center, and we'll be able to get lunch afterward.
2. Early afternoon:
If we start the walk in the early afternoon (around 1 or 2PM), parking will be very limited, so public transportation will be encouraged for those of you not attending the convention already. It will be sunny & hot outside, but there will be TONS of convention-goers grabbing lunch around this time, so we'll have tons of exposure... and we can grab a late lunch afterward.
3. Late afternoon:
If we start the walk in the late afternoon (around 4PM), parking will still be a bit of a hassle, we'll have limited exposure (most people will be in the premium programming at the convention during this time), and it's probably the worst time to start. It's just an option that's here for posterity.
4. Early evening:
If we start the walk around 6PM, parking will be a bit better, as many people with kids will have left for the day by this point, people will be starting to leave the convention for the day (programming stops at 7PM) and will be streaming out of the Convention Center towards us (which was AWESOME last year), a lot of people will be having early dinner at the restaurants along 5th Avenue... and the best part... we can do a zombie pub crawl afterward (for those of us who are over 21)!!! There are tons of bars along the Gaslamp and I really doubt they're going to turn away people in costume during Comic-Con ;)
So... when would YOU rather the walk start? Vote. Get your friends to vote. Get your family to vote. Get your dog to vote. We don't care... JUST VOTE! :D
WHERE: Meet at the corner of Broadway & 4th Avenue. This is near Horton Plaza. So if you're just looking to do the walk and are not attending Comic-Con, you'll be able to park at Horton Plaza and then leave easily.
The walk-route is already planned out. The route will allow for maximum public exposure during the entire route, this time around, but will be about the same length. As mentioned, we'll be meeting near Horton Plaza... the walk will travel through the Gaslamp District, heading towards the Convention Center, turning around at the Convention Center and heading back up through the Gaslamp.
HOW: These details will be updated soon.
