Zombies Shuffled Through Rockville

Zombies walked the streets of Rockville on Friday night unrecognizable to their friends. Over 30 of the undead met at the Apollo and lumbered off toward Town Square in route to the Regal Cinema to see >Zombieland.
Along the way a few of the living were startled and others were nervous as the zombies limped, dragged and peered into windows. All the onlookers kept giving second, third and fourth looks. You could tell most simply wanted to know what was going on. Why were there so many scary-looking zombies and where were they going?
Bill Bird, who I met through Rockville Central, suggested we have a Zombie Walk after I mentioned Silver Spring’s festivities so we gave it a try. Luckily a hilarious Zomcom (zombie comedy) was playing and it was a fine night for a walk. Even zombies need to stay healthy with exercise.
Here’s some photos taken by multiple photographers:
What continually amazes me is how the online Rockville community meets up in person. Rockville Central is not just names on a website. It’s people in a real community – living, working and playing together. This means the zombie world to me.

I was impressed that two council candidates attended: incumbent Piotr Gajewski showed up as the “decomposer” and Tom Moore also attended to court the undead vote.By they way, while there were a few gory scenes, Zombieland was hilarious. And I”m a very squeamish moviegoer.
I value the full spectrum of Rockville’s vibrant diversity, including its surprisingly friendly undead community.
