ZPC Rules to (Un)Live By

1. Eat Something. The biggest rookie mistake you can make is to get all zombied up for the crawl, spend of a bunch of time getting the perfect makeup and outfit, and then pass out at 7 pm because you forgot to grab a burrito at Chipotle while all of your friends have the time of their undead lives.

2. Just because you’re a zombie doesn’t mean you get to be an ass-hat. So bring ones and tip your bartenders.

2B. Bring fake blood if you want, but DON’T DUMP IT ON STUFF THAT ISN’T YOURS. We’re serious about this. That stuff is impossible to get off of windows and furniture. Grumpy’s had to replace a floor once because there was so much blood on it. SO BE RESPECTFUL. Failure to do so could get you arrested, because destroying property is, y’know, against the law.

3. Bring an ID. Doesn’t matter how rotten your corpse is, you’re still gonna get carded.

4. Purchase tickets online and pick up your wristband early. Once you buy a ticket, you can print it and bring it to any Ragstock location in the metro area to pick up your wristband. Doing this gets you a 20% discount on your zombie supplies when you buy them at Ragstock. It’s a great deal and we really think you should do this. Buy tickets here.

4B. If you didn’t get your wristband early, bring your ticket to Will-Call to get your wristband.

5. Don’t forget to get your zombie supplies. We recommend buying them at Ragstock for reasons explained in #4.

6. Think of an awesome costume to wear. What kind of zombie will you be? The sky’s the limit. This is the best part of the Zombie Pub Crawl. The second best part of the ZPC is seeing what other types of zombies show up.

7. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter. This is how you’ll get up-to-the-second info about the ZPC. You can also meet other zombies, share stories, complain to us about lines if you want, and post pictures after the ZPC. Which brings us to…

8. Bring a camera. Preferably one that you won’t mind getting some blood on. Then post your pictures to the Facebook page and/or Flickr (tagged “Twin Cities Zombie Pub Crawl”)

9. Obtain safe transportation to and from the ZPC. Seriously. As much as we love zombies, we don’t want anyone to actually die. Designate a driver, use public transportation or get a hotel room.

10. Bring your cool friends. You know, the ones who tip their bartenders and love the Zombie Pub Crawl as much as you do. Not the ones who like to break windows and stagger into traffic. Leave those jerks at home.
