Zombie Walk in Portland, OR

[DreamThrall]

So I was walking around downtown Portland, OR last Sunday with my family and some friends and all of sudden, there was a zombie horde like out of Left 4 Dead coming at us. I almost grabbed a nearby shovel and started bashing heads, but then I realized if I stood REALLY still, they didn't notice me.

Some things that I learned:

- Most zombies in Portland, OR obey pedestrian traffic signals
- The police don't like you walking around with airsoft rifles, even if you are trying to contain a biohazardous outbreak (see Umbrella guys)
- It's a good idea to keep your good camera with you whenever you go walking around in downtown Portland. Unfortunately, I was only equipped with my iPhone.

Spoiler'd because there are 60something pics, all relatively SFW.

much much better my man! awesome improv! or whatever people call it these days. i wonder how many phone calls to the police were made

 

[DreamThrall]

Probably not many, if at all... this kind of thing is pretty much business as usual for Portland. I'm actually surprised everyone was dressed.

I was supposed to take part in the Ottawa one yesterday, but I was snatched up for work.

That's the thing about zombies, they always try to walk it in

My brother went to one of these a week ago or something.

He went as a survivor and brought his M15.

There should have been more naked zombies. I mean... its not like zombies wait for you to get dressed before they bite.

God damn masses of common folk are taking everything away from us nerds/dorks/whatevers. Zombies, Vampires, caturdays...

I'm sick of shit going mainstream.

I'm not sure if all the pictures really portrayed the sheer volume of people present for this. We stood there and watched for roughly 10 or 12 traffic light cycles, and then kept walking, and they were still coming for several more blocks.

There's going to be one in Grand Rapids this friday. Won't be able to go, unfortunately.
