Republicans Accidentally Schedule National Convention in Same City as International Assembly of Zombies

By now most of you know that the 2008 Republican National Convention will be taking place in St. Paul, Minnesota. Discussing the situation with Dave and Jenny last night, it occurred to me that the RNC may not go off as smoothly if the hotel rooms were full because by coincidence another major event was taking place in St. Paul at the same time... A major event like

THE INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF ZOMBIES

Picture it! The streets of St. Paul teeming with the undead. Zombies sitting in every bar in St. Paul. Zombies slogging across intersections and cross-walks. Zombies shifting aimlessly around the XCel center moaning and looking for brains...

How hard can it really be to plan an international zombie convention? I know zombie flashmobs already exist in several major cities. We just need to contact them. But must do it covertly so as not to attract the attention of Republican goon squads... This is going to be the best. Will the symbolism be lost on the GOP?

So... Mark your calendars. And if you're from out of town, make your hotel reservations in downtown St. Paul now. September 1-4, 2008.
