You may already have noticed the undead boozing around town this month. Theyre probablyprobablyjust ordinary living citizens, not brain-eaters, headed to rehearsals for todays Thrill the World 2008. Its a global plan for simultaneous re-enactments of Michael Jacksons famed dance from the 1982 Thriller video (just like on that YouTube video from the Philippine prison). Several local groups have begun practicing for the event. Says d9 dance company member Jody Kuehner, who first donned zombie garb two years ago to learn the steps with Circus Contraption, It felt really grassrootsit was a Craigslist listing to show up to three rehearsals and then come to this big party. It was so fun and off-the-cuff. (Shes since been a part of the synchronized group dance at the Vera Project, and will next perform it at Chop Sueys Lick party on Nov. 1.) It may be too late to join todays chorus line, but you can still observe. Just hold onto your brains. See www.seattlethrillers.com to confirm location (probably Westlake Park) and time.
