Local tattoo parlor is organizing a downtown zombie walk this Thursday
Do you feel trapped by your current situation? Stagnant? Dead in the water?
Now you can leave that boring desk job behind in exchange for a career path with real downward mobility. Join the undead horde today!
Traditional Tattoo of San Luis Obispo is organizing a pre-Halloween zombie walk.
Exactly 113 walking corpses will invade the downtown San Luis Obispo Farmers Market on Thursday, Oct.29. The event is free and open to the public.
All wannabe zombies should sign up no later than today at Traditional Tattoo, 251 Higuera St. in San Luis Obispo, or online.
Traditional Tattoo will provide makeup, fake blood, makeup artists and movement coaches — plus videographers to document the shambling ghouls and their hapless victims.
All you have to do is show up on time in ripped, torn zombiesque attire. (You’ll receive a packet listing time, location, route and other pertinent information via e-mail.)
For more details, call Louie at 541-8282 or 784-0822, or e-mail him at dropmanysuckas@hotmail.com.

It’s also the last day to sign up for Traditional Tattoo’s air guitar competition, back for a second year.
This year, hard-rocking contestants are encouraged to follow a Halloween and horror theme. Prizes include tattoo gift certificates and a badass Halloween trouphy.
There’s also an audience costume contest, complete with tattoo gift certificate.
The Air Guitar Competition starts at 9 p.m. Friday at Downtown Brewing Co., 1119 Garden St. in San Luis Obispo. Tickets are $5 at the door.

I’ll skip the zombie march. If there were synchronized zombie swimming…I’m there.
I was at farmer’s market during the zombie mob. I thought the costume’s were fantastic but I think the venue and the time of the event was in poor taste. My family had a very traumatic experience with the Zombie Mob. The mob of 70 or more zombies were in full character and didn’t notice that that it’s a very family oriented event (especially early at 7:50pm). A leading group of zombies accidentally tripped on my daughter (age 5) and she fell and 2-3 zombies fell on her. The zombie mob was pushing the group forward. Her head and hands were stepped on. She cried but the zombie growls drowned her out. She is still having nightmare about this night. Her best friend (also age 5) was also stepped on and traumatized. They both were covered in Zombie blood and gore after the incident. I realize that it was an accident but think the organizers should consider another venue for their zombie mob.
Having a zombie march at a family event like a farmer’s market at 7:00 pm is not a smart idea. Didn’t the organizers think about the kids? They should have picked a more appropriate venue. My kids were panicked! Next pick a place for college students and adults and not a place where young children and infants will be hanging out.
