SO, WHAT IS A
‘Zombie Jamboree’
WHAT IS A ‘ZOMBIE JAMBOREE’? Actually, we have two overlapping, related definitions for “ZOMBIE JAMBOREE”
IN OUR FIRST DEFINITION, we see a ‘ZOMBIE JAMBOREE’ as a high-energy, RAVE-like event, with live Musicians performing in front of a Mosh Pit, filled with a throng of people, collectively swaying, pulsating and moving to seductive rhythms, as the music, the atmosphere and the crowd create an experience people will remember long after they’re back at home, back in their everyday lives.
IN THE SECOND DEFINITION, we see a “ZOMBIE JAMBOREE” as the main, featured event — the “Jewel of the Night”, if you will — capping & closing a full day of activity, entertainment, excitement & pure, unbridled ‘camaraderie’, at a major outdoor “Signature Festival / Event” — ala, “BURNING MAN” in Nevada, “SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST” in Texas, “COACHELLA” in California (LA) and “LOLLAPALOOZA” in Illinois (Chicago). Great, outrageous “Signature Festivals / Events” not only known around North America, but around the world.
That’s three great “WEST COAST” events, and one great “MIDWEST” event. We think it’s time to stage an equally great, outrageous “Signature Festival / Event” in the “SOUTHEAST”… in, or near, Atlanta.
That is just what we have in mind for the “ZOMBIE JAMBOREE“, a true ‘happening’, held annually over two successive, three-day weekends in Spring, in a locale easily accessible by car, rail, luxury bus service and, of course, air. And, as a build-up to the annual event, we also envision smaller, local ‘JAMBOREES’ possibly staged in coordination with local TV Radio stations, Corporate Sponsors and Chambers of Commerce or other local Organizations — creating a “feeder” network to help us find identify Musicians, Musical Groups & Performers of all kinds who might be invited to showcase their talents at the annual “JAMBOREE”.
A CARNIVAL OF EVENTS
Within ‘THE EVENT’
What kind of overall event will the annual ZOMBIE JAMBOREE be ?
We really won’t know the answer to that question until we actually begin creating the blueprint. The answer will depend on many factors. For example: Funds available to plan, stage, ‘build’ & promote the “Signature Festival / Event” And, known & unknown Musicians, Musical Groups, Entertainers & Performers we may invite or recruit for the mostoutrageous musical / entertainment / activity / showcase event the “SOUTHEAST” has ever seen. And, naturally, the venue and the locale will also play a major role in shaping the Zombie Jamboree.
We’re focusing on an accessible SOUTHEAST location with enough space to accommodate the main ZOMBIE JAMBOREE event and additional Sub-Events & Activities, occurring at the same time, around a central core and outlying area — with the Sub-Events & Activities operating simultaneously & independently of other Sub-events & Activities, throughout the day and into the evening.
Those Sub-Events & Activities Will Begin to Close Down at 8:30, as Attention
Turns to the Main “Zombie Jamboree” Program: Zombie Too… Night !
We envision the annual ZOMBIE JAMBOREE occurring over two successive three-day weekends, ideally in the Spring, with enough space for people who may want to camp at the site, in a location close to the venue which won’t encroach on Sub-Events or Activities, and for people who may want to camp during the week between the two weekends. RV’s and Motorhomes included.
The ZOMBIE JAMBOREE itself, the RAVE-like music / entertainment happening — “ZOMBIE TOO… NIGHT !” — will occur in a central core area will be the location The ZOMBIE JAMBOREE RAVE will begin at 9:00 pm, and end at 11:59 pm each night, on the Friday & Saturday nights. Sundays will draw to a close at 4:30 so people can begin heading home. Some people will begin to leave earlier, while other people will linger, grabbing as much ZOMBIE TIME as possible.
As our good friend Buddy Holly used to say, “Hey, Ghouls & Ghoulettes, Rave On !” (He didn’t really.)
ZOMBIE JAMBOREE
The Main Event !
COME JOIN US...
“You Know You Already Belong !”
“ZOMBIE TOO… NIGHT !”, the RAVE-like Mosh Pit party — aka, the Main Event — will take place from 9:00pm to 11:59 pm, on Friday & Saturday nights. After three hours of unbridled energy-burn, more or less, it will be time to bring things down several levels, for the remainder of the night. Some people will head home, other people will make their way to their overnight accommodations (possibly on-site) and others will go to their camp sites & RV’s, whether those sites are located within the overall Zombie Jamboree site or in a nearby Commercial Campground / RV facility, or a national, state or county park facility

A group of acts will be selected from the pool ofsubmissions, and invited to perform at the "The Zombie Jamboree Lounge" venue.
◆ "GHOULISH GOLF" - A theme-appropriate Miniature Golf 'course', played at night in the dark — the darker, the better! — with day-glo balls, day-glo clubs & day-glo pin markers; the 'fairways' and holes will also be highlighted with day-glo paint, and the whole area will be bathed in black lights. Players are cautioned about wearing white !
◆ "GHOULISH VOLLEYBALL" - five-person pickup teams, competing casually on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays during the day, and competing for real on Friday & Saturday late afternoons & evenings, in the dusk & darker hours, with day-glo balls, nets, posts & tension-cables, and day-glo court outlines. The play will be accented white !with black lights. Players are cautioned about wearing white, especially white underwear! (If you're confused, ask someone who wore white to a Fraternity Party where 'Black Lights' were part of the featured entertainment.) Winners of the serious competitive play will receive awards. (Come with your own team, or join the pick-up pool.)

◆ "THE ZOMBIE SHUFFLE" -— original dance routines, for groups — staged & performed by professional & would-be-professional Choreographers and the small groups they bring, showcasing their routines at the event, and teaching people in the audience their moves, so the audience can join in, ala Michael Jackson's "Thriller" number in "13 Going on 30" with Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo & Andy Serkis.
◆ "ZOMBIE ZEN DEN" — a meditation pavilion, dedicated to the premise that "Zombies are people, too!"
◆ "THE ZOMBIE DATING BUREAU"- TBD, possibly a photo booth, for selfies with a Ghoul or two In Residence'.
◆ "IS THAT MAKE-UP... OR, YOUR REAL FACE?"-— Body Painting — TBD

The International Society of Zombies
La Société Internationale des Zombies
"Zombies Are People, Too. "
(More or Less ! It’s a Judgement Call. What Do You Think ?)
“Zombies Are Indeed People, Too… More or Less !”
Zombies know — probably more than we ourselves know, or appreciate, even as isolated as we may think we are — that feeling alone, in a crowd and in a crowded space, can be an extremely awkward, uncomfortable, powerfully sad feeling. Zombie or not, it’s a universal feeling ! A feeling which creates anxiety, tension, agitation & actual isolation. Why do you think Zombies are routinely portrayed as snarly, angry, aggressive.

HELP MAKE THIS “Signature Festival / Event” HAPPEN SOON !
Four Great, Outrageous, Annual
"Signature Festival / Events"
And, ONE in the MIDWEST
Two on the WEST COAST, One in the SOUTHWEST And, ONE in the MIDWEST
- BURNING MAN — in Nevada - draws about, 80,000 people, literally, to the desert
- SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST (SXSW) — in Texas — draws about 150-200,000 people
- COACHELLA — in California (LA) - draws about 400,000 people (4-day cap)
- LOLLAPALOOZ — in Illinois (Chicago) — draws about 460,000 people (4-day total)
It's Time for an Equally Great, Outrageous
"Signature Festival / Events"
In the SOUTHEAST — In, or Near, ATLANTA !
We do think it’s time to plan & stage an equally great, outrageous “Signature Festival / Event” in the “SOUTHEAST’ — in Atlanta, or close by — and, we need your help to make that happen. By contributing to our “Seed Money” campaign: GoFundMe.
Click Here
And, Help a Zombie Find a Home !
Seed money in this early stage is critical. Not only will you help make history, but you will also help us continue to develop the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE theme, program & resources needed to actually ‘build’ the team and the event, as we seek Venture Capital / Equity Support. That will also allow us to create, plan, stage & establish the first-ever ZOMBIE JAMBOREE — with a vision to make it an annual Spring ‘happening’.
While we are focusing on creating the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE as a dynamic .SOUTHEAST “Signature Festival / Event, we also envision smaller, local Zombie Jamborees, staged in conjunction with local TV / Radio ‘partners’, Corporate Sponsors and Chambers of Commerce or other local Organizations, with those local Zombie Jamborees possibly serving as ‘feeder events’ events’ where we can begin to identify local talent worthy of being showcased at the national event.
Seed Money Buys Critical Time
The bulk of the seed money will support the work involved in creating, planning & developing the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE concept, program, foundations, layout & team. It will also buy critical time while we pursue Venture Capital & Equity Participation needed to underwrite the event itself. And, it will help make history !
Skills, Talents, Other Assets & ‘Energy’
As important as seed money is, especially at this ground-level, startup stage, you may have skills, talents,
other assets and vital energy — your Zombie moves aside, no pun intended — to contribute. If you do, let
us know. We’d like to hear from you.
INVEST IN
‘Zombie Jamboree’
Do the Math !
For Investors with clear focus, sharp vision & great instincts, there are many Industries & Sectors worth considering. We place the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE premise in the ‘Entertainment’ sector. More specifically, in that part of the Entertainment sector where other major, outrageous, outdoor “Signature Festival / Events” are found.
It’s not a newcategory or sub-category. In fact, there are already four very-well-known “Signature Festival/Events” in that sub-category. And, according to our research, they do pretty well.
Consider.
- BURNING MAN in the Nevada desert — tickets $550--$3,000 per person — draws about 80,000 people
- SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST (SXSW) in Texas — tickets $149--$1,495 per person — draws about 150-200,000 people
- COACHELLA in California (LA) — tickets $649--$1,399 per person — draws about 400,000 people (4-day cap)
- LOLLAPALOOZA in Illinois (Chicago) — tickets $189--$4,500 per person — draws about 460,000 people (4-day total)
DO THE MATH,
THEN CONSIDER...
Two WEST COAST Events,
One SOUTHWEST Event,
One MIDWEST Event
Time Indeed for A
SIGNATURE EVENT in the SOUTHEAST
Now, consider the Revenue Potential of a “Signature Festival / Event” staged annually in the Southeast, over two successive three-day weekends in the Spring… in, or near, Atlanta — with 32 Million… 32 Million (!) Edgy Men & Women in their 20’s & 30’s, in 16 East Coast States alone, ALL basically within driving distance.
JUST 1%
Just 1% of the 32 Million People in the potential target audience in their 20’s & 30’s, within easy driving distance is 320,000 Edgy Men & Women looking to party, especially with the invitation to “COME GET YOUR FREAK ON !”
In Addition to Revenue From ‘Gate Admission’
That includes Food Courts, stations for “Adult Beverages”, “Oasis / Watering Holes”, the competitive side of the
‘Zombie Games’, Camping Sites, Camping Equipment Rental, Other Possibilities , and Shuttle Service between the event site and Atlanta, etc. All still very ‘To Be Determined’, but we are open to all genuine possibilities
Of course, we are very interested in discussing Venture Capital / Equity Support and Corporate Participation.

Chief Creativity Officer, deep in research.
As we said in the introduction below the HOME page banner, we think of ZOMBIE JAMBOREE in two
different contexts.
IN THE FIRST CONTEXT, we see ‘ZOMBIE JAMBOREE’ as a self-contained, high-energy, RAVE-like
event, with musicians performing for a throng of people forming a Mosh Pit of sorts, with the audience,
collectively swaying, pulsating, moving to seductive rhythms. The ‘Jamboree’ can go on for hours, as the
event continues.
N THE SECOND CONTEXT, we envision THIS “ZOMBIE JAMBOREE” as the main, featured event at an annual outdoor “Signature Festival / Event” — with the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE RAVE itself as the “Jewel of the Night”, capping a full day of excitement, activity, entertainment & unbridled ‘camaraderie’, at a major,
annual, outdoor, weekend “SOUTHEAST HAPPENING” … along the lines of three great “WEST COAST”
events — “BURNING MAN”, “SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST” and “COACHELLA” — and one great “MIDWEST” event,“LOLLAPALOOZA”. We see the ZOMBIE JAMBOREE staged over two successive three-day weekends annually, in Spring.
We established ZOMBIE JAMBOREE ENTERTAINMENT to create, plan, stage, implement & manage the
annual, major, outdoor ZOMBIE JAMBOREE event, and to create, plan, stage, implement & manage various
local ZOMBIE JAMBOREE events, possibly in conjunction with local Media Partners, Corporate Sponsors and / or local Chambers of Commerce or other local Organizations. Those smaller, local events might serve as “feeder events” in the weeks & months before the annual ZOMBIE JAMBOREE, to help us find & identify local Musicians, Musical Groups, Performers & Entertainers who might be invited to showcase their talents at the annual ZOMBIE JAMBOREE event.
Anyone interested in exploring the possibility of hosting, sponsoring or participating in the annual ZOMBIE JAMBOREE, or a local ZOMBIE JAMBORE event — or, even better, both ! — or, any other Special Event which calls for a professional approach to Event Planning, Staging & Implementing, whether related to Zombies or not, please let us know.
But, don’t think about calling… Zombies don’t like ‘Smart Phones’. They prefer meeting face-to-face !
