Slow: Zombie Xing

I've heard of roads being closed for construction, accidents, block parties, and parades but this is a new one. Three blocks of North 35th Street in Seattle's Fremont District was closed to traffic Friday night so that drivers wouldn't have to worry about plowing into thousands of the undead as they took part in the largest zombie march ever.

The 'Red, White, and Dead' event was held in honor of the 4th of July, and to make a run at the Guinness World Record for having the most zombies in one place at one time. 5,000 'zombies' showed up, including my friend and her undead daughter, seen above.

Here's an article from the Ballard News-Tribune on the event.
