Zombie Kickball 2010 Report

On World Zombie Day, October 10, hordes of the living dead staggered to the Eastern Prom for the 5th Annual Zombie Kickball game. While the zombie turn out was smaller than last year, there was still plenty of action for the large group of spectators that turned out to see the dead stumble, growl, and try to kick the ball.

WHEN: Saturday, January 24,
WHERE: Bubba's Sulky Lounge, 92 Portland St, Portland ME
FMI: (207)828-0549

There has been a special request made by Bob Bergeron of Hoboe, in honor of his last live gig with them: "We have the Hip shakin' Mama's Hula Hoop Troop performing with their glow in the dark Hula Hoops and I just think it would be the perfect thing if they were attacked by Zombies during the gig. I know Zen Ben has some stuff in the works with the Whippettes, but what if Zombies attacked the Whippettes? Either way, it's a freak show and I think Zombies should be there....in fact, I demand on the sacred eye of agamootto that they arise......!!!!!!...let me know!"

So -- in zombie makeup or not, catch all the jazz punk freakout you've come to expect from Hoboe @ Bubba's Sulky Lounge this Saturday night. With Special Guests Red Cross Sky and Project VII, this is one show you don't want to miss! If you do make it to the show in zombie makeup, check in with Bob to see what's up, or contact him ahead of time via MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/bobbergeron) or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/people/Bob-Bergeron/).
