Denver Zombie Crawl

Where: Skyline Park, and from there all over the 16th Street Mall
When: October 18, Organ Trail starts at 9am, after parties start at 8pm
What: Zombies zombies everywhere!

It's always a pretty good time! A lot of restaurants have specials and stuff that night, and the crawl itself tries to break participation numbers records every year, so there will be a ton of people involved.

It's not a 'secret' anymore, but apparently Super Bowl Sunday is a particularly good day to go skiing because... well, obvious reasons. May not work this year, as people in Denver are pretty goddamn bitter about the Seahawks vs Patriots. Apparently we hate them both?
