All in all, Valentine's Day is a fairly boring holiday. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those types that claim "it was totally created by the greeting card companies, man." I just think that when I'm with someone special (even if it's just myself), every day is an excuse to eat an expensive meal and publically display my affection.
So, imagine my delight when I heard about the Valentine's Day Zombie Walk two towns over. Assorted slackers slap on a little cream makeup, a lot of blood, and shuffle around town confusing people out on dates.
This event is great for singles, as they find they will not actually end up dying alone (past hordes have grown to over 80 people), and for couples, because a night with the living dead will provide memories that will last longer than roses or waxy chocolate.
Zombie walks aren't limited to Valentines Day (visit zombiewalk.com to search for an event in your area, or create one of your own), but it's a fun way to put a twist on a holiday that's most often symbolized by a naked child wielding a bow and arrow, or a non-zombie-related massacre.
