Underage Participant Registration Form


Note that it is NOT the form posted in our previous post- it is a new one.


Final Location

While trying our best to secure the Byward Market as our venue for the event, it is proving difficult- what's more, the weather forecast is calling for rain on Saturday. a LOT of rain. Yes, I know this sucks.

We are still trying to find a public venue on such short notice, but it's most likely that Thrill the World: Ottawa will be held on uOttawa campus, in the Terminus outside the campus bar, 1848. At least we will have an audience!

Final Tips

While getting ready with your zombie costume, read the following zombie costume guide to help you!

Thrill the World: Ottawa 2009 Afterparty

After all is said and done, zombies need nourishment. We plan to shamble down to the Market afterwards and PARTY! ZOMBIE STYLE!
