ZombieCrawl NYC makes a pit stop at our East Village store during their undead crawling escapades this Sunday. Here's the latest from NYCZombieCrawl leader Doug Sakmann:
Greetings Ghouls!
The day is almost upon us! This Sunday, October 25th Zombies will once again take on Union Square and the Lower East Side! Our main base will be the Beauty Bar NYC (where we’ll begin and end) and we’ll be crawling to Union Square, Whole Foods (for a canned food drive),
Halloween Adventure, Astor Place, The Continental and more!
We’re going to be joined by a lot of press, including CBS Sunday Morning & Japanese network Nippon TV and more so we’re asking everyone to come already dressed as their Sunday Zombie Best! We’ll have very limited zombie makeup stations too for those who need to be zombified, but supplies are limited!
Here are all the details…and don’t forget to join us in the Halloween Parade on the 31st!
Very Truly
Doug Sakmann
