Hey everyone! Capital city pride is coming up and we have been invited to participate in the parade! We have a banner being made for us that says "Olympia Zombie Association Lavender CORPSe. We're here, we're undead, get used to it!" SO.... I would like to gather up as many of you as possible who are interested, put on some purple t-shirts and get our faces zombied up to walk! PLEASE come along and join in the fun! It's been far too long since we have had a large scale zombie walk so this is a great opportunity! We will be meeting at the capital steps on Sunday, June 12 around 10:30am to gather then do the walk down Capital Way! Look for the purple OZA banner! Please contact Nellie (zomnellie@gmail.com) for more information.

The U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of a group of Minneapolis zombies who had filed a federal lawsuit charging they were wrongfully arrested while protesting mindless consumerism in 2006. Police said they arrested the six lurching protesters because they thought they were carrying "simulated weapons of mass destruction," which turned out to be portable sound systems for a Zombie Dance Party.

"I don't give a goddamn about anybody's constitutional fucking rights." - Police officer Edward Nelson at the station after the arrest, according to the undead plaintiffs.
