UCI Zombie Invasion 2009, originally uploaded by theuser.

Today a horde of zomies attacked UCI! There were about 15 people in the group, with 5 or so in zombie make-up. They came up the stairs at the front of the school and lumbered to the Langson Library. They walked in, crowded around the elevator, and began to bang on the doors. When it opened, they yelled, "brains!" and began to push into the elevator. Two girls ran out, laughing but obviously a bit startled. I heard them mumbling "what the hell are they doing" and similar things, but then they said "let's stay and watch." The zombies waited for another elevator to come for a couple minutes before one yelled "stairs!" Then they all began yelling "stairs... stairs?" It was obvious they didn't know where the stairs were. One yelled "stairs!" and pointed, and then they lumbered towards the stairwell. I had to leave to go to class at that point, but I heard startled yells coming from the stairwell as I left.

The organizers want to make this a yearly tradition. I hope they do!
