About Me

Ah... Vacationland! It's here at long last... Summertime in Portland, Maine! Barbecues all over Munjoy Hill, picnics across the Eastern Promenade. Kites flying above the East End Beach, boats sailing in Casco Bay. Friends and lovers lazing on the lawn, families basking on the beach, children frolicking on the playground. And swarms of zombies invading the city and descending on the Eastern Prom for a knock-down, drag-out game of kickball!
Zombie Kickball first broke out in Portland, Maine on the Eastern Promenade on May 28, 2006.
Then, a second outbreak of Zombie Kickball happened on Portland's Eastern Prom on May 27, 2007.
Zombie Kickball broke out for a third time on the Eastern Prom on June 29, 2008. A 21+ pre-party at the Asylum set off the frenzy. An all-ages after-party at the Space capped off the craze.
A fourth spate of Zombie Kickball swept the Prom on June 28, 2009. This ghoulish game was played for charity - participants and spectators were encouraged to bring canned and dry goods for the Good Shepherd Food Bank! A representative from Good Shepherd was on site to collect donations. Once again, the contagion spread from the Asylum with a 21+ pre-party hosted by Gothic Maine featuring DJs Znuh, Dehuman8 and Doomsday Jones on the 26th. And yet again, the epidemic was contained at the Space with an all-ages after-party featuring Covered in Bees, Ghosthunter and the Lost Cause Desperados on the 28th.
THERE'S SURE TO BE ANOTHER OUTBREAK. WE'RE WORKING IN OUR SECRET RESERCH FACILITY WITH A REANIMATION SERUM RIGHT NOW. BUT SINCE WE'RE ALL THUMBS, OUR PROJECT IS BOUND TO FULL OF BLUNDERS. HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS SPECIMENS WILL SURELY BE ESCAPING OUR LABORATORY ANY DAY NOW...

ZKIV - Open Casting Call
