Ah, here we go again—19 years of Richmond's Zombie Walk, where folks shuffle around like it's the morning after a bad decision. Yeah, this parade of the undead has been creeping through Carytown for almost two decades now, and somehow, it's still got more life in it...

I met Chris Milk at Eggspace. I don't think it is around anymore but I remember it being pretty much a shack where the local underground guys would show work to friends and have late night get togethers on the river. I felt like I was being told a secret and that I knew something while the city slept on. I remember music, drink being passed...

I first met Jim in 2003 when he came over to the house I lived at on Park Ave. He had a backpack full of tees that had just been printed for a local band. He said they wanted a skeleton hand holding a nintendo cartridge, and well, that's exactly what they got in his signature style. They looked sick, and from then on I would see his work pop up...
