Kelly Baker was all over facebook yesterday. The Florida State University facebook page was full of updates about the FSU Zombie Apocalypse in
anticipation of Kellys public lecture yesterday afternoon hosted by FSUs Department of Religion entitled Theres us and the dead: The Zombie Apocalypse in American Culture. One of these updates identified Kelly as patient zero, or the origin of the zombie outbreak. On our way to the auditorium yesterday to set up Kellys lecture, we passed some students filming brief interviews with others who participate in the popular Humans vs. Zombies tag-oriented game. The Tallahassee Democrat (city paper) ran a story on the lecture to encourage attendees, and there was even an extra from AMCs The Walking Dead in attendance. This picture was posted live to the FSU facebook page.
