Yesterday the city of Santa Cruz, California joined a legion of other groups around the world in the attempt to create a world record for the number of people simultaneously dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” while also raising money for a number of charity organizations around the globe – the event is called “Thrill the World.”

Really dead.
Undead.

Last night was San Jose’s first ever Zombie-O-Rama zombie crawl: hundreds of zombies took to the streets in search of brains, drink specials, and an outdoor screening of “Shaun of the Dead.”

Here are some photo highlights:

Speaking of Prop 8, did you know today is Repeal Day?  Yes, that little-known holiday squeezed in between Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and the other drinking-centric holiday, New Years’ Eve.  Celebrating the repeal of the 18th amendment in 1933, ending Prohibition, Repeal Day is a time for everyone to enjoy the freedom to knock back a fifth of Jose, make out with a guy a head shorter than you, and pass out on the stairs of a co-worker’s apartment with a mouthful of your own vomit.  Or so I’ve heard.  I mean, I would never do anything like that.  Nope.

This weekend (Sept 6 & 7), the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California is hosting a Jetpack Show!

I just got back and already made a sweet, sweet video for you all (live jetpack action!):

Jetpack Facts:
• “Jetpack” is without question the coolest compound word in the English language.

• “Jetpack” as an adjective means “better than awesome.”

• “Jetpack Pilot” would be the coolest thing to have on a business card, ever.

• Samuel L. Jackson with a jetpack would be unstoppable.

• Rumor has it that “Jetpack” will be the top celebrity baby name in 2009.
