Zombies coming to American Idol auditions

So American Idol is coming to Austin this Thursday to hold open auditions at the Erwin Center. And someone had the rather inspired idea of unleashing a zombie horde on the event, terrorizing throngs of vapid pop star hopefuls (via a few dozen recruited volunteers and lots of make-up). Note the oh-so-important caveat that "this is meant to be fun/funny, not mean/violent, and, as such, we'll be working from the old-school George Romero staggering/shuffling school of zombie-ism, not the new 28 Days Later feral-fast zombie style." Uh-huh. We'll see about that. Anyway, I'll be watching the local news with much interest Thursday night...
