Death Match: "Thriller" Record-Breakers vs. Antiwar Protestors
As some readers have already pointed out, Saturday's collision of death at Dolores Park should prove interesting. With a bevy of corpses available for you to express yourselves, which one will you choose?
In addition to the "Thriller" dance record-breaking attempt at Dolores Park, Saturday's Antiwar march, starting at Civic Center at 11 a.m., will end up smack-dab at the same recreational area. Once there, the "Fall Out Against the War" marchers (another worldwide event happening on the same day) will stage a (symbolic) die-in "to bring home the 2 million Iraqis who have died, the 500,000 who are now refugees, and the nearly 4,000 U.S. soldiers who have died for an occupation that only benefits weapons manufacturers and oil corporations."
That's a lot of dead bodies scattered around DP this Saturday. Mind your step.

They want to bring home the 2 million Iraqis who have died?
well, that's what it says. who knew antiwar protesters were so conceptual? or into some seriously sick shit?
That'll be one hell of a mash-up.
Me and my necrophiliac crew are so there.
We too want to end the war. And its about San Francisco being part of the international community that is pro-art and anti-war. And its super fun.
But sure, we can have a dance-off or death-off with the other zombies if they so choose... but we will win, either way.
But our causes are not so different
You know, it's a perfect little deal-- all those people who stage the die in can hook it up with the Thriller people and arise from the dead to join in on the dance. Just like the video!
