I found out about Zombie-O-Rama in a round-about way. My sister said that she and her friend were going on a zombie bar crawl that was happening later in the month. Soon thereafter there was an article in the paper saying that there was a Zombie Event happening in downtown San Jose. Andrew saw it and wanted to find out who was running it.
At the Zombie-O-Rama website I discovered Dan Vado, who is the commander in chief of SLG Publishing, was the man behind the event. He is a well-respected publisher of indie comics, including being the launching point for Jhonen Vasquez. Jhonen Vasquez is best known for the cartoon, Invader Zim, but he has many other fun little dark and gruesome comics that SLG publish.
As expected Vado was definitely busy before the event - too busy to come be interviewed on our program. Andrew wanted to get Vado really badly though, so I knew he would possibly succeed in doing so. And thus, I ask my sister to take a video camera with her to the Zombie-O-Rama.
I have not yet seen the videos that Maureen took at Zombie-O-Rama but she also graciously agreed to be a guest as well as Dan Vado and they were a good team. Maureen was also kind enough to come in a costume very similar to the costume she wore at the actual Zombie-O-Rama, so we have some great color to go along with her and Vado's stories. All in all a fun, fun show that I'm sure that our viewers will enjoy.
Did I remember to take pictures? No.
