</div>
<div>There are four major, outrageous<strong><em> "Signature Festival / Events"</em></strong> staged annually each year which are not only well-known throughout the US &amp; Canada, but also recognized around the world. The four are <em>'</em><strong><em>Destination Events'</em></strong><em> </em>you might want to keep close to the top on your <em>'Bucket List'.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Those four<em> 'Events' </em>are:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>BURNING MAN</em></strong>, in the Nevada desert (Black Rock City), the <strong><em>SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST </em></strong> <strong>(SXSW)</strong> festival in Texas (Austin), <strong><em>COACHELLA</em></strong>, in California (LA) and <strong><em>LOLLAPALOOZA</em></strong> in Illinois (Chicago).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's two <strong>WEST COAST</strong><em> </em>events, one in the <strong>SOUTHWEST</strong> and one in the <strong>MIDWEST.</strong> Four major, great, outrageous Music Festivals — and genuine <em>"events"</em>, in the purest, truest sense of the word !
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That said, we think it's time to stage a major, equally great, outrageous, outdoor <strong><em>"Signature Festival / Event</em></strong>"<strong><em> </em></strong>annually in the <strong>SOUTHEAST</strong>, ideally in, or close to, Atlanta.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And, THAT is exactly what we have in mind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We've been developing the theme, the premise &amp; the program for more than seven months. We call the event we've been developing the <strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"</em></strong> . And, we need your help to make this <em>"Event"</em> happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With that in mind, we envision the <strong><em>"Zombie Jamboree"</em></strong> happening over two successive three-day weekends in the Spring — beginning, ideally, in 2027 — when it's time to dust off the chill<em> </em>of Winter, say hello to the Sun &amp; welcome the embrace of a <strong><em>'Cultural Celebration' </em></strong>of sorts, including Music, Entertainment, Games &amp; Showcase Events.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Events featuring things such as <strong><em>"Zombie Jazz" </em></strong>(original compositions &amp; performances), <strong><em>"Zombie Couture"</em> </strong>(a showcase featuring original designs for<em> "Zombies &amp; Zombie Couples planning a night out on the town !"</em>), the<em> </em><strong><em>"Zombie Shuffle"</em> </strong>(featuring original choreographed dance-group routines, with audience participation), <strong><em>"The Zombie Games"</em></strong> (physical, intellectual &amp; <em>'mind'</em> games), <strong><em>"Ghoulish Golf"</em></strong> (played at night, in the dark, with Day-Glo clubs &amp; balls and <em>'Black Lights'</em> providing enough <em>'electricity</em>' to fill the sky),<em> </em><strong><em>"Ghoulish Volleyball"</em></strong> (also played at night, with Day-Glo balls, nets &amp; court lines &amp; <em>'Black Lights'</em> sparking the play), <strong><em>"The Zombie Zen Den"</em> </strong>(for some quiet meditation, reinforcing the premise that <em>'Zombies Are People, Too !'</em>), <em>"</em><strong><em>The Zombie Jamboree Lounge"</em></strong> (featuring stand-up comedy, original performances &amp; other assorted <em>'treats'</em>) and <strong><em>"Zamping / Camping" </em></strong>— <em>if you dare !</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WE NEED YOUR HELP </strong>— <strong>WITH <em>'SEED MONEY'</em> !</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first <strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE" </em></strong>will make history. But, that's just the beginning. We do need your help to make this new <strong><em>"Signature Festival / Event"</em> </strong> happen — with <strong>'Seed Money'.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>'Seed Money'</em> is critical in this early stage, while we continue to develop &amp; expand the program, visit sites (including wooded areas &amp; meadows) to look for the proper potential venue and — the most critical part — to look for Venture Capital / Equity participation to underwrite the cost of planning, staging &amp; <em>'building'</em> the annual event.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your <em>'seed money' </em>now is the cornerstone for creating &amp; staging a historic <strong><em>"Signature Festival / Event"</em></strong> in the Southeast... an <em>'event' </em> to set the tone for decades to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Edgy Men &amp; Women, Primarily, in Their 20's &amp; 30's</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe the ideal audience for the <strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"</em></strong> will be, primarily, <strong><em>Edgy Men &amp; Women in their 20's &amp; 30's</em></strong>. Of course, <strong>Older &amp; Younger Generations </strong>will add to the potential Audience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the record, there are <strong>32 Million people in their 20's &amp; 30's</strong> — <em>32 Million ! </em>— in just the 16 States on the East Coast alon, all within driving distance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Of course, Atlanta &amp; that centralized area is also served by rail, luxury bus service and, of course, air. We can't forget other States immediately to the west, and the rest of the country on the other side of the Mississippi River, and Canada, too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Just 1%</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just 1% of that 32 million is <strong><em>320,000 people</em></strong>. We don't expect all 320,000 people to come to the first <strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"</em></strong> , but we do believe there are at least 40... 50... 60,000 <strong><em>Edgy Men &amp; Women </em></strong> who will accept our invitation to join us the first year... to...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>"COME GET YOUR FREAK ON !"</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your <em>seed money now</em> will be the first step in opening the door for those <strong><em>Edgy Men &amp; Women</em></strong> !<strong><em> </em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're reading this, you may just be <em>edgy enough</em> to be one of the people who not only help make history by providing critical <em>'seed money',</em> you may be edgy enough to actually be there the first year... to be <em>PART OF HISTORY BEING MADE !</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>'Seed Money'</em> in this early stage is essential for allowing us to continue to develop the<em> </em><strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"</em></strong> theme, premise &amp; program. And, to help us build the team, to seek Venture Capital / Equity Participation and to create, plan, stage &amp; establish the first-ever Zombie Jamboree.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just in case there is any doubt, we're also interested in your energy, your spirit, your suggestions and YOUR participation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are interested in joining our team, please visit our website — <a href="https://www.zombie-jamboree.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>www.Zombie-Jamboree.com</em></strong></a> — and reach out to us through our Contact / Email addresses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The website will let you know more about what we have in mind. <strong>NOTE: </strong>The Website<em> IS NOT </em>intended to <em>"sell tickets".</em> That will come later. when we are actually <em>building the groundwork &amp; laying foundation</em> for the first-ever <strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"</em></strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The website, as it stands right now, is intended to explain what we mean by <strong><em>"ZOMBIE JAMBOREE"</em></strong> and what we mean by <strong><em> "Zombie Jamboree"</em></strong> — those are two different dimensions of an overlapping concept, both featuring music, events &amp; experiences which we believe will be <em>'Loud Enough to Wake the Dead' !'</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(Pun definitely intended. That may also explain why we think a combination woods &amp; meadow site will be a good choice. Especially since we expect to offer space for Camping, Motorhomes &amp; RV's.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To explain the two overlapping definitions, while we are focused on creating a dynamic foundation for a major, annual<strong> ZOMBIE JAMBOREE</strong> festival event — capping each evening with a Mosh Pit like <strong><em>RAVE </em></strong>, which we're calling <strong><em>"ZOMBIE TOO... NIGHT !" </em></strong> — we also envision smaller, local Zombie Jamborees, staged in conjunction with <em>Not-for-Profit Organizations</em> and Radio / TV station<em> 'partners'</em>, to serve as <strong><em>'feeder events</em>'</strong> where we can begin to identify local talent worthy of being showcased at the national event.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>The International Society of Zombies</em></strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>La Société Internationale des Zombies.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to creating the major &amp; local Zombie Jamboree(s), we're also working on organizing the <strong><em>International Society of Zombies</em></strong> and its sister organization, <strong><em>La Société Internationale des Zombies</em></strong>. We see those Societies as a place where kindred spirits can hang out, chill, explore Zombie lore and enjoy the misty, steamy environment surrounding them. Of course, seed money will help us develop those Societies,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also looking to establish some other, related organizations, such as:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>◆ <strong>The Zombie News Bureau</strong>
</div>
<div>◆ <strong>The Zombie Performers Alliance (ZPA) </strong>
</div>
<div>◆ <strong>The Zombie Fashion Bureau</strong>
</div>
<div>◆ <strong>The Zombie Adoption Bureau</strong>
</div>
<div>◆ <strong>The Zombie Etiquette Society</strong>
</div>
<div>◆ <strong>The Zombie Sports Leagues</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>COME JOIN US !</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we like to say, come join us... you know you already belong !
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Seed Money is indeed important. The bulk of the seed money will support the work involved in creating, planning &amp; developing the <strong>ZOMBIE JAMBOREE</strong> concept, program, foundations &amp; team. It will also buy critical time while we pursue Venture Capital / Equity Participation needed to underwrite the event itself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Skills, Talents, Other Assets &amp; <em>'Energy'</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As important as seed money is, especially at this startup, ground-level stage, you may have skills, talents, other assets &amp; vital energy — Zombie moves aside, no pun intended — to contribute to the mission. If you do, let us know. We'd like to hear from you.
