Zombies are ahead on Wellesley Street in Weston, or so this sign proclaims. It took them a while to get here from Texas. [UHub via Erin]
Photographer Brian Matiash snapped this photo of a loading dock in a South End alley. We like the rich textures and geometric iterations, especially how many times squares and rectangles are repeated in the frame—in the bricks, ladder segments, and the door itself. We also thought it was funny that Matiash expected zombies to burst through the loading dock door. So true.

Once Make-Out With Violence screens at IFFBoston on Friday, zombies will no longer be left in the corner. Traversing the tough territory of juxtaposing human emotion and unfulfilled romance with the, um, "realities" of an archetype straight out of a George A. Romero flick seems like an overwhelming task.

After four years of start-and-stop work on the film and at a large personal monetary cost, Make-Out With Violence has finally been hitting the festival circuit with quite a response.
Somerville's hipster zombies have planned their annual march of annoying for Easter Sunday, April 12th, a choice that many have considered sort of prickish, considering the high probability of zombies clashing with little children in their Easter Sunday best. Dressing up as the undead on the day that the savior of Christianity supposedly rose from the dead? Uncool, hipsters. You may not share the Christians' faith, but you don't have to be complete douchebags about it. [Via Somerville Blog]
