Day Trip: Have Gruesome Good Fun at the Zombie Pub Crawl in Minneapolis

It's back: Zombie fever is seizing the Twin Cities once again. Saturday marks the eighth annual Zombie Pub Crawl in Minneapolis, and this time Twin Cities organizers are hoping to break a Guinness world record, currently held by Seattle.

So far, almost 5,000 people have said they will bring their bloody, maggot-bitten selves to the gathering. Will Burnsville do its part? In the interest of helping the cause, here are some helpful links:

• Tickets can be purchased online, with wristband pickup at Ragstock or will-call at the bar itself. They're $22 now, $40 the day of, and organizers expect to sell out.

• Parking and Transportation (Note: You will probably have to familiarize yourself to Minneapolis-St. Paul's public transportation to get through the entire route). Here instructions to the Minneapolis West Bank location, coming north from I-35W. If you're going to Zombie Island in St. Paul click here for directions.
