If it happens next year though the front should walk a little slower and the route should be circular so the zombies walk in character all the way back to the staging area. People on the streets responded well. A few overly serious persons seemed to think that the zombie protesters were mocking protests or that we should be protesting some real issue instead of just protesting "for fun". Personally I think that the signs were out of character for a zombie walk, or at least a Romero-type zombie. It seemed like an excuse to put the website address on the signs, which is unnecessary, the Alamo will get whatever publicity it gets simply for organizing the event and doing the press. Frankly I could have used more than just a day's notice to get some better zombie makeup, instead I made do with fake blood and ripped clothes. I go to the Lamar Alamo regularly and never saw this event advertised there.</p>
