I know the title of this post does not make sense for many reasons.  Zombies in July?  Fourth of July celebration on the third of July?  I will explain, but first, a question asked on The Big Blog is "What is it with Seattle and zombies?"  We really do like zombies a lot around here.  Maybe we like zombies because it's quite easy for us to turn our pasty white complexions into believable undead versions of ourselves.  Or maybe it's simply because zombies are awesome.  I know I like them, and I have participated in a couple of zombie events. 

Seattle wants to break the record of most zombies in one place on July 3 in Fremont.  This means there will need to be about 4000 zombies assembled in Fremont on July 3, the goal is 5000.  Of course the zombie conglomeration is happening in July, no where near Halloween.  Yes, it makes perfect sense.  In fact, it is going to be a zombie Fourth of July celebration they are calling Red, White, and Dead Zombie Party.  And it is going to be quite a party.  Here are some details from the website:

Everyone must meet at the extraction zone located at 3501 Phinney Ave North, home to the Fremont Outdoor Movies on Friday, July 3rd [registration is from 5pm -7pm] and everyone should report in costume dressed as ZOMBIES for this historical event to ensure that you are not detected by the Living Dead. Its your only means of survival and we are counting on you to make this possible. We need 5,000 people to break the record and we need them on Friday, July 3rd.

After the zombies reak havock on Fremont, everyone will watch Shawn of the Dead at the Fremont Outdoor Cinema.
