Zombie Apocalypse Day in Ballard!
This Sunday, January 27, is Zombie Apocalypse Day right here in my neighborhood of Ballard (in North Seattle for the non Puget-Sounders among you). It’s a free, family-friendly disaster preparedness expo at the Ballard Community Center from noon to 6 pm, and I’ll be there selling books (and signing them, for any of you who’ve been holding on to your copy just waiting to get my autograph YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).
The idea is to have some fun learning about ACTUAL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS, since most of the things you’d do to prepare for a zombie apocalypse would be useful for pretty much any natural disaster (weapons and ammunition, obviously, to varying degrees depending on the level of societal breakdown, but the chainsaws would be super handy in dealing with a backyard full of trees toppled during an earthquake, IN ADDITION TO THE REANIMATED DEAD).
On hand will be:
Seattle Office of Emergency Management
SNAP (Seattle Neighborhoods Actively Prepare)
The Red Cross
Seattle Fire Department
Z Ultimate Self Defense Studio (demos and booth)
Cascadia Edible Landscaping
Xfinity Home Security
Parkour Visions
Shelf Reliance dried food storage and emergency kits
Beprepared.com emergency essentials
Puget Sound solar
Me
Some other authors too
So much more!
I’ll also be reading from Zombocalypse Now at 4 pm, and we’ll be doing the choices by audience vote, so come help us navigate our stuffed bunny to safe ground. Seriously, I’m super worried that no one will come to my reading, so I’d be overjoyed to see you there!
