Sometimes, people can come together for a single cause, and create something really interesting and important. This fall we have an excellent example of this kind of thing, lead partly but not exclusively by a charismatic young African-American man with an extraordinary history and a tremendous amount of personal charisma.

I am speaking, of course, of the Thrill The World project, wherein people all over the world, simultaneously, dress as zombies and dance to “Thriller.” Video here, via JWZ.

BTW, apparently they had 800 participants in Austin.
