Did you know there’s a countdown clock on the webpage? Look over to your right, and you'll see it, ticking away. Don’t freak out,
everybody is doing a FANTASTIC job and there’s still more than enough time to
get your Zom on.
We’ve added a second
weekly practice beginning THIS WEDNESDAY at 5:00 pm, but not at Hole in One as
previously announced. We will be practicing in the large Club Exotica located
behind the Jardin Restaurant on the Plaza. Walk right through the restaurant
through the double doors in the back. If
you haven’t been there before, you’re in for a surprise. Emilio will have a
bartender on duty at the Sports Bar upstairs, so you can relax with a drink
after rehearsal. As always, practices are optional, but the more confident you
feel, the more you can relax and enjoy yourself on the day of the event. And
there’s going to be a lot to enjoy!
The Delegado stopped by our practice on Saturday and shared
his plans for Ajijic’s first annual Zombie parade and barbeque to celebrate
Thrill the World. While all the funds we
collect go to the Red Cross, his barbeque will benefit the DIF and ….well, I’m
not sure about this part, but I got the impression that he’s raising money for
fabric for Ajijic old ladies to make Ballet Folklorico costumes.
I’ll have tickets for
the party with me at the Wednesday practice. They are $150 pesos and entitle the
bearer to a scrumptious buffet hosted by Manix.
Diane Pearl is
bringing ONE HUNDRED pumpkins to the Plaza at 11:00 on Thrill morning and sponsoring
a pumpkin carving contest until 4:00. The proceeds from her efforts will go
toward making sure that every local child can celebrate Christmas with a toy or
art supplies. The winners of the contest will be announced after the parade,
and the carved jack o lanterns will be lit up and used as decorations at the party
that evening. It sounds awesome, doesn’t it? It’s a wonderful feeling to be a
part of something that is so much fun, and yet does so much good for so many
different parts of the community.
A giant thank you to
our VIP Zombie go-go dancers Fether and Val. I know that everyone appreciates
having them up front doing the moves. While I’m doing shout-outs, let me
congratulate first time Zombie Leslie on her fantastic Zombie recruiting
effort. She encouraged a great looking group of her friends to show up, and
they all caught on to the dance in no time flat. Welcome aboard, new Zoms, we’re
super glad to have you!
Dee Grant and her team of make-up artists were also on hand
to sell tickets for Zombie makeup appointments. A regular scary Zombie is $50
pesos, and one of the intricate and really cool Catrina Zombies is $150 pesos. The
zombies really stepped up, and we’ve already raised nearly $2000 pesos from the
Zombie Glamour Department. That money is
all being donated by the makeup artists to the Red Cross. If you would like an
appointment, sign up with Dee or Hansje or one of the other glamour ghouls soon.
See you Wednesday at 5:00 at Club Exotica, and Saturday at
1:00 in the Centro Cultural.
