Communication with Nashville and Chattanooga

Hey guys. I messaged back and forth with Nashville and Chattanooga last night. I'm just going to copy our emails below, so you can read them yourselves. They were both very nice. Chattanooga really encouraged making sure all municipal bases are covered.

Hey Nashville Zombie Walk planners. My name is Sarah, and I just wanted to say hello. We're planning a Zombiewalk here in Memphis on May 25th, and we'd love any advice you have to give at this point. Is this Nashville's first Zombiewalk? We're hoping to come up to Nashville for your walk in April. Anyway, Arghhhh, brains. . . Memphis Zombie Sarah

This is the first one I'm planning, but some people have told me about smaller ones with 12 or so people.

Wow. That would be pretty small. We're hoping for a bit more than that, but I guess it doesn't take many zombies to make an impact, huh. I think a bunch of us will come up in April. I'm sure we can help out if you need. Are you planning your walk in conjunction with any event? If you'd prefer email to myspace messages, you can email me back at saraherutledge@yahoo.com. We've just put up our own zombiewalk myspace page over at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=162806983

Hey Chattanooga Zombie Walk planners. Sarah, here, from Memphis. We are planning a Zombiewalk here for the same night as yours. I think we're going to try to head to Nashville for thier zombie walk in April, so maybe we'll get to meet up with you guys then. Anyway, it looks like you've been planning your walk a bit longer than we have. I'd love any advice or ideas you have. Arghhh . . . Brains . . . Memphis Zombie Sarah

helpful hint 1: Get all your ducks in a row to appease the gods of city hall. If you don't mind could you send that same message to chattanoogazombiewalk@yahoo.com ? just don't mention this email. To have another major Tennessee city doing this on the same night would be awesome Now this could be an idea I will contact Holly @ NZW and see if they would like to do the same thing again there too on may 25th. Now you got my juices flowing. MZW NZW CZW AND KZW on same night? Hmmmmmmmm But yea we can plan a meeting on 4-7 in Nashville and talk it out.

Done. What have you guys done to appease the gods of city hall? That is, specifically, my job, and I'm not sure how to broach the topic and who to broach it with. Did you guys apply for a parade permit, or just call?

We have 311 call system here I called made reservation for park I wanted and now I am having to "sell it" to committees and boards. My biggest road block is they all say "WHY MAY?"
