Shepherd addresses Asheville’s American Meteorological Society
Given the title of the talk — Zombies, Sports, and Cola: What does it mean for Communicating Weather and Climate? — Shepherd had quite a bit of explaining to do. Remarkably, however, the former NASA scientist managed to demonstrate, with these seemingly disparate subjects, how a significant portion of the public (mis)understands meteorology — and how the problem may be solved.
The giving dead: Anam Cara Theatre’s zombie-themed benefit
Although there is no formal dress code for Anam Cara Theatre Company’s fundraiser, Zombie Hospital 1955, it may be one of those rare Asheville parties where not dressing appropriately is actually frowned upon.

Tube-ocalypse now: Asheville shoots for world tubing record with ‘zombie float’
As a recreational hub, the French Broad River has come back from the dead — and legions of zombies are eager to prove it. Conceived as a creative celebration of the river’s continuing revival, organizers of the first-ever “Tube-ocalypse” are aiming to break the world record for most tubers floating together.

Because Halloween isn’t that far away
Pre-Halloween events, ideas, and one festival (nope, not Moogfest) in the works. Plan early: You don’t want to be the person in the sheet-with-two-eye-holes ghost costume this year.
Return of the lurching dead
This Friday, June 18, George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead—the maestro’s sixth zombie movie—opens at Carolina Cinemas in Asheville. The folks of the Asheville Zombie Walk will be on hand in full zombie attire, and they are inviting other zombies to join them.
First, the bad zombie news. Then the good zombie news
The annual Asheville Ashtober Zombie Walk has been postponed until next year, due to a new round of city regulations and fees made necessary by the event’s massive success last year. But never fear (unless you have tasty brains in your head), because other zombie events are still in the works…
Asheville’s attack of the zombies
Like a scene out of a Romero scare-fest, the undead emerged from the darkness. They jolted through downtown streets. They screamed for brains. And then a rogue element of Asheville’s zombie horde descended upon the Asheville Civic Center and staged a political protest the likes of which the city has never seen.
