ZOMBIES ON PARADE

At 6 p.m. Saturday, the 16th Street Mall will feature an even more exotic group of folks than it usually does - those who enjoy dressing up as zombies.

All would-be zombies (and their willing victims) can get the info they need (wait, zombies can read?!) at eyeheartbrains.com

Participants will finish up with a zombie pizza party at Two Fisted Mario's on Market Street.

And organizers emphasize that drunken zombies need not apply.
