The Flesheaters’ Ball at The Fall

What are you doing on August 16? Celebrating Stockwell Day or Rumer Willis’ birthday? Eating Halloumi, a delicious cheese that’s made from goat and sheep milk, to commemorate Cyprus gaining independence from the UK? That all sounds just fine but a way better idea would be to dress up like a zombie and lurch around the streets of Vancouver then attend a wicked awesome party at The Fall afterwards.
The Fall opened almost a year ago on 644 Seymour and it’s a pretty a slick tattoo and piercing parlour slash clothing store slash art gallery slash place to get artistically slashed (the correct term is ’scarification’ if you were wondering). On Saturday August 16, the knives and needles will play second fiddle to a daylong Zombie extravaganza. Between 9am and 4pm, makeup artists will be on hand to sufficiently zombify you for the Vancouver Zombie Walk. After you’re done freaking out tourists and old people, you can come back to The Fall for The Flesheaters’ Ball, an a all night zombie celebration with zombie themed art installations, live painting, a zombie fashion show and a whole lot of liquor. People without costume will be attacked and probably have something sharp shoved through their nose or eyebrow. If you cant make it out, the art show runs from August 14-17. Oh, and in case anyone asks you what your favourite zombie movie of all time is, the correct answers are George A Romero’s Dawn of the Dead or Lucio Fulci’s Zombi 2.
