ZOMBIES! PunchTheSphinx's first event of the Summer! A massive game of Zombies around the city center. Last man standing on the day wins a Daire O Briain DVD!

[URL="hhttp://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=131139020230041&index=1"]FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE![/URL]

It starts off with a big group of people, all of them "Human". One person is a Zombie who must "infect" the other players. Humans wear a bandana in their arse pocket, and when a zombie rips that from them, they become a zombie too and move the bandana into their front pocket.

SIMPLES!

Bring a bandana, t-shirt, sock, or ANY small piece of fabric. Thats all you need to jump in the game!

I dont know if this technically applies to things to do in kilkenny but our webseries 'Rent a Friend' is shot in Kilkenny and features (predominately) kilkenny actors and most of the music is supplied by local bands etc. It's also written & directed by kilkenny heads..but you can watch it anywhere...so I dunno if it applies...

http://www.rte.ie/storyland/episodes-rent-a-friend.html

It would be great if you could watch it and if you like it vote and share it with your friends!
