Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this real?
Yes.
2. Is this legal?
We're going about this the legal way. Behave yourselves and you won't get maced.
3. Can my band play?
As awesome as it would be to have some sort of Zombapalooza, we do not have a stage, nor do we have any place elsewhere for you to play. If your band gets a venue for that night, we'll see about promoting you through the event/group pages, but we can't do much else for you. Sorry.
4. Is there an age limit?
We accept zombies of all ages.
5. Will there be alcohol?
No. The undead have no need for beverage, and you can hold out too for a day. Serving minors will get the cops involved.
6. Will you guys do my makeup there?
Whoa now, there's a lot of people showing up and limited artists, so don't show up in plainclothes without makeup and expect to be zombified. If you want professional makeup help from our experienced zombie makeup artists, contact David Lasley at makeupdavid@chicagozombie.com or Colleen Jones at makeupbitch@chicagozombie.com. Space is limited.
7. Will there be film crews there?
I dunno. If they feel like showing up. We don't have any agreements with anyone concerning documenting the event, but if you feel like showing up with a camera or camcorder or something, we won't say no to awesome photo-ops.
8. YOU GUYS ARE SICK FREAKS!!!!eleventyone!!!
Nah. We're actually quite normal, with a penchant for mischief. We do not go about our lives in some zombie-fascinated daze*. We are equally amused by ninjas, pirates, walruses, hippies, etc...
9. Can we do whatever we want there?
Yes and no. You're free to express yourself, however any illegal activity will not be allowed. Rule of thumb: mind your own business, and don't talk to people that aren't dressed like zombies.
10. I heard there was a blood drive. What's the deal?
Well. Turns out that holding a blood drive downtown is a costly ordeal and we weren't able to come up with that kind of sponsorship money. As this is our first year, we're going to see how this goes and hope that a great success will render some big sponsorships for next year, which will secure us a blood drive. :)
11. What about the food drive?
Jess and Jon are currently making phone calls and meeting people to try and set up some stations at local businesses in the Loop to collect cans and non-perishable food items. Information will be posted as it becomes available.
*The webmaster would like to note that, in fact, he does live his life in some zombie-fascinated daze, and gets well paid for it...
