Sadly, I didn't get to attend, but I must say I'm proud of my conservative city for stepping up and breaking the world record!

The current record is held by Pittsburgh at 1,000 of the walking dead.

Grand Rapids, MI last night had 3,370 zombies lurching around and they also donated 7,500 cans of food to charity :)

GR was my city when I was in MI...damn I missed it. Where abouts in the city did this go down?

It was right downtown. They went from Rosa Parks Circle, to Pearl Street, Ionia Ave then ended at the B.O.B. on Monroe for an after-party

Check out some awesome pics here:

That's so damn awesome. I'm really bummed I didn't go to the one in SD for 2007's Comic Con. I hope they do another one in my area, I really wanna walk!
