    No... Not exactly. But close enough! It actually includes some time travel.

    Yeah but Zombies move slow, you should outrun them long before the Delorean gets up to 88 Mph.

    While I do think Zombie Land is an awesome movie, it pales in comparison to Shawn of the Dead. That movie is my zombie invasion plan, and the reason I bough a cricket bat/paddle, whatever you UK gents call the thing. Besides, who wouldn't want to hold up against zombies in a pub, and listening to Queen for long enough would want to make me kill people, let alone zombies.

    That's not a bad idea at all. I loved Shawn of the Dead. "Let's go to the Winchester!" My plan is actually one that has been laid out carefully (after a festival and many shots of single malt.) My living history group, the Renaissance Scots, have the skills and tools to be completely self sufficient. We spent several drunken hours last year after the Elizabeth Celtic Festival discussing which part of the Rocky Mountains would be best to move to and why. We'd just run to the hills and live the Highland way until all the nasty beasties died off. So while not literally time travel, it's close enough!

    Sounds about the same as going to the Winchester, except its in the rockies. I could deal with that. One problem, I would not be period correct as I am a civil war re-enactor. How many stitches per inch on each button hole of a traditional highland waistcoat? Can I just hand sew over the machine sewn button holes on my waistcoat, or are you guys hardcore authentics?

    We are not so anal retentive as to count the number of stitches in a button hole. We're a civilian group; not military. Everything is very freeform. As to period correctness... that can go out the window when confronting a horde of zombies.

    So basically, Red Dawn without Russian tanks and helicopters. Nice.
