    I encourage everyone to take the BUS to get there :-) What fun, with a couple random zombies stumbling onto the busses and sitting next to unsuspecting travelers!! You know there's always someone drooling or muttering to themselves, and if you don't see anyone... it's YOU.

    Please take a moment to watch the videos on ThrilltheWorld.com to familarize yourself with the Thriller dance. I've ordered the training DVD which we'll use for rehearsals, but in the meantime, check out the website and start learning the moves! Fun!
