Needless to say, I had to drag the family along. My costume was pretty rudimentary, but there were some really talented and dedicated folks there, including my favorite, the "50's Comic Book Zombie", who was kind enough to pose with me for the picture above.
The walk was organized by Zombie Walk San Diego, as a fundraiser and organ-donor signup event for Donate Life California. By my estimate, there were somewhere between 500 and a 1000 Zombies who showed up. Awesome!
More impressive than the sheer number of Zombies was that I was able to get Kimberley and Annika to come along. Annika was a bit young for makeup, so she wore her "Zombie Snack" bib, while Kimberley was sporting possibly the most subtle costume in the walk, (but she was definitely in-costume):

I was honored to be asked to pose for many photos. Lots of people thought the sign was great, but I can't take credit for the joke -Think Geek sells the shirt. My really "big moment", though, was spotting the illustrious Patricia Tallman standing off the curb taking pictures of the shamble as it went by. I only gave a subtle wave and mouthed "I love your work" as we went by, because the last thing the star of Tom Savini's remake of Night of the Living Dead needed was to be recognized on the street and surrounded by five hundred Zombie fans. This would be equivalent to someone spotting Mark Hamil watching a parade of the 501st Legion going by.
We were too busy wrangling the stroller amid the shamble of Zombies to take many photos, but I managed a few good ones here, and a quick video snap of the Thriller breakout.
I have found quite a few other good collections of photos, though, so here are the best:

Searching "Zombie Walk San Diego 2010" or "Zombie Walk ComicCom 2010" should net many more videos and pictures...
