The second year of the Zombie Pub Crawl took place in the NE Mpls area on Saturday Sept. 09, 2006. The Zombies gathered around 3pm at Logan Park hungry to hit the streets in their quest for brains and other body parts to feast on. Their slogan was "What do we want? BRIANS! ! !" The Zombies took over 13th Ave as they headed for the 331 Club where undead music was waiting.  Zombies have no names and tend to take over the scene in what ever fashion look or uniform that they are wearing when they became Zombies. I don't recall seeing a Postal or Police officer Zombie, but did see a nurse Zombie among the mix. If you left your brians at home, you were fairly safe from the Zombies - - they may only paw or nibble on your limbs. The Zombie Pub Crawl began at Logan Park and their route was to the 331 Club, 1029 Bar, Elsie's Tavern, NE Yacht Club, Whitey's Saloon, The U Otter Stop and ending up at Spring Street Tavern. On this evening, the first Pirate Pub Crawl also was in progress as they gathered at Pilsbury Park and their route was to Tuggs Tavern, Nye's Polonaise, Terminal Bar, Arones Bar and ending up at the Moose Tavern across the street from the Spring Street Tavern. The Pirates were rather colorful with their head gear, swords and there was a Pirate flag and plenty of Rum. It looked like the Zombies preferred beer as their drink for the evening. The Pirates lost their Flag to the Zombies at some point, but would regain the Flag during the dance off at Spring Street where the Pirates and Zombies met to party with Karaoke and Rock bands in Club Underground. Some Pirates and Zombies that did not get out early for the start of the Pub Crawl joined in somewhere along the route or at the Moose and Spring Street Tavern where there were perhaps around 500 people that gathered for this event.
