Sunday's parting shot

Becoming zombies on Avenue B via Derek Berg...

Zombie FYI

The 11th annual NYC Zombie Crawl takes place today... Per the flyer, zombies are congregating starting at 4 p.m. at three neighboring Avenue B establishments — Maiden Lane, Dream Baby and Lucky. Following a zombie crawl, participants will meet at the Continental on Third Avenue before the Zombie Afterparty at Bowery Electric.

Sewage of the Dead

Here is Spike Polite and his bandmates in Sewage with a timely new video that seems appropriate to play this evening...

Director Christopher J. Ryan said that he spent $139 for the entire shoot ... the only paid person was the make-up artist, who got $30 an hour for each band member... with some leftover zombie garb from the Zombie Crawl two weeks back.

About the hole in ground at the Marble Cemetery

Here we are at the Marble Cemetery on East Second Street...EV Grieve contributor Bobby Williams took these shots yesterday ... he noted the activity, though no one was around to ask things like What in God's name is going on here!

Regardless, please don't let your overactive, sensationalist minds think this is something about, say, grave robbing or zombies or explosives ... We're certain there's a logical explanation for this... Like!

a) Routine cemetery maintenance
b) A new theme bar called Lucky Stiffs
c) Hyperlocal blogger misunderstands the expression "digging for a story"
d) Death + Company is moving
e) Longtime tenants forced out by rent hike
f) Shake Shack

Or maybe you have a better idea...
