Zombie Squad

Still here, I just finished enjoying some of Dragon Con's virtual content. I'm spending a lot of time at home organizing stuff, and occasionally playing through some Fallout New Vegas. The gardens are going well, plenty of tomatoes and peppers, and I never knew okra grew so large.

So, this is about the first time I've focused on anything Zombie Squad all year. That said, there's not a whole lot of news, but I did get around to renewing some of my domains and began poking around the availability of some simple website names that may apply to us. I've registered both zsatl.com ...

Welcome back, Matt! Newnan's not too far away, under an hour's drive. A lot of stuff around here needs to be raised from the dead, every once in a while at least. Glad to have you back.

It's been a while since anyone's posted, so I'm checking in. I meant to write up a lengthy post-Irma report on how it affected my neighborhood's power for a week, and how relatively okay I actually was while operating on a 2000-watt generator. But the details for that are in another journal, and I m...

I'm mostly set up in my hotel room at Dragon Con. One small change from the past couple of years, I'm not going to walk in the Saturday Morning Parade this year. Two years ago I had to search hard to find the two photographers that caught my image waving a Zombie Squad flag down Peachtree Street, an...

Didn't go to the prepper show, though it piqued my interest. It's just too close to Dragon Con for me, there's so many other things going on that need to be finalized.

Well, we didn't make it to the Atlanta Hamfest this year, but there's still the Stone Mountain Hamfest to plan for in November.

Also adding possible ZSC-016 meeting dates, and the (perhaps long forgotten) Zombie Squad Radio Club meeting dates: ZSC-016 Meetings, 3rd Thursday @ 6-8pm June 15th, 2017 @ TBD July 20th, 2017 @ TBD August 17th, 2017 @ TBD September 21st, 2017 @ TBD October 19th, 2017 @ TBD November 16th, 2017 @ TBD...

Quickly jotting some notes down here, this will likely be edited when I have a chance to cross reference calendars of availability and when I hear or learn about more things to add. It's entirely possible that even though I list things here, I might not be able to attend, but at the same time I'll u...

I wanted to participate, but I had a long business trip two days before this event.

Did this event happen, and if so, how did it go?

Pertinent details are as follows, here's a copy/paste from the main website http://www.atlantahamfest.org/ Atlanta Hamfestival | Always the 1st Saturday in June! When: Saturday, June 3, 2017. 8:00 am – 3:00 pm Where: Jim Miller Park located in Marietta, GA. For more info, click here . Admission: Adu...

http://www.daysofthedead.net/atlanta/ We haven't planned anything official here, but this is a fun event to attend. They've got panels, photo-ops, and a 48-hour Independent Film Fest. There's also a vendors room, offering obscure stuff I haven't seen anywhere else. I've only just arrived, and I've ...

My brother got me a new red dot sight, Sig Romeo7, touted to last about 65,000 hours on a single battery

One of the Black Friday deals I managed to pick up this year was a new 10'x10' canopy tent, similar to the one I've already got, except this is in black. Hard to beat 50% off. My plan is to draw up some white lettering in stencil font to say "ZOMBIE SQUAD" and the ZS logo along the flat edge on all ...

Having a lockpicking day sounds like fun, I'd be interested

This is coming up quickly, though I am already comitted to working Anime Weekend Atlanta with TechOps that whole weekend. I know A.Zombie was interested in setting up for Maker Fair. Last year ZS was fairly well received, and I'm pretty sure they are still holding onto my $50 deposit in anticipation...

Just in case people are using Facebook for calendar planning, here's the event page for the Zombie Walk being hosted by the Dragon Con Apocalypse Rising Track, this Friday from 8:30-10:00pm:

I was browsing the Stone Mountain Hamfest website, and if you click on the 2015 picture gallery, we are the first thing you see: http://stonemountainhamfest.com/wp-content/gallery/Hamfest-Photo-Gallery/zombie-squad-1.jpg ps: I'll get this archived on one of my own servers soon, in case it's not on t...

I'm doing a mad dash packing for Dragon Con, and this section is surprisingly quiet. Con starts tomorrow, and for some even later today. Slugg had an idea to coordinate outfits for the Zombie Walk, suggesting jeans, an OD green shirt, and green tactical gear. I'll pack those, as well as a black kilt...

Count me in for the Zombie Walk

Okay then, we haven't really been told "No" to personal ZS websites, though I'm sure an official blessing could go a long way to making sure it's all above board. Another angle could be to use their "Chapter Spotlight" service, located at https://www.zombiehunters.org/spotlight, which does seem to g...

Confirming, we are currently *not* hosting a fan table for Dragon Con this year, due to the fact at least one of us has to sit at the table, like a desk job, from 9-5ish every day. Unless we have more support for this, last year it put quite a strain on the small handful of us volunteers present. St...

Not sure where to post this question, so I'll just pull from the most recent "catch all" thread. Does anybody here currently have access to our ZSC-016 Webpage, located at http://zsc-016.zombiehunters.org ? It seems it was last updated around 2012. If nobody has access, then it might be worth sendin...

Yes, it's a process, and can easily take 3+ threads, especially over the course of 4 years. The first mention of the current logo was back on November 20th, 2011 when Davo first posted his idea in a very large thread about anything and everything ZSRC. A new thread was opened in 2012 specifically to...
