The LaJolla Writer’s Conference is driving distance from where I live. Too bad I couldn’t make it. I can’t really afford to go to any writer’s conferences until I’m making more money off of my writing, lol, ironically.

Kristin, loved your classes at La Jolla Writers Conference. You also gave me some great insights into my novel when you read my first 12 pages. So generous with your time. Thank you Thank you. I’m a guy so I don’t clean anything before a trip. However, I do clean the day before my wife comes back from a trip. That’s more an act of self-defense. As for your zombie apocalypse, a belt with a vicious buckle would get through and work nicely as a slashing whip. Any vegetarian faux meat products might make them pause in disgust.

The zombie apocalypse is why I raise chickens, and garden. Oh yeah, and all my gun-toting friends know to rendezvous at my place, because we have the defensible high ground.

Zombies are EVERYWHERE these days, aren’t they?
Great travel post, Kristen! Can’t wait ’til you make your way to my neck of the woods… Niagara Falls could use a shot of culture and enlightenment!

Awesome list! I actually bought a hairbrush that turns into a kind of sharp edged pointed weapon, like a thick ice pick. It’s made of a hard plastic so I had no problem getting it through security.

Mathair tends to be a social butterfly, while I despise leaving my house. I chalk it up to being an introverted, hermit/novelist, but in reality I love the security I feel when I’m home. Zombies don’t usually come to mind, but I always think that a World War is going to break out, or we’ll be invaded, like Red Dawn style. I do have to admit, Alien invasions are always running through my mind. My little brother is sixteen, and Zombie obsessed. He’s mapped out the easiest routes to gas stations, food stores, and even has a list of supplies, safety precautions, and how to rig booby traps, just in case Zombies arise. Great post, Kristen. It’s comforting to know we’re not the only neurotic weirdos in the world.

The main thing to remember is situational awareness. Always be aware of your surroundings and leave the cell phone/Ipod/Ipad, etc. to everyone else. That way, when the zombies begin shambling down the street, all the tech-zombies will have their heads down and won’t see them coming. Zombies may be dead but they’re also opportunistic so those people not paying attention will be gone before they can text “Zombiez!!1!! ZOM-”. Use the time to beat a hasty retreat or at least arm up with your hairspray and Bic lighter.

And don’t forget your towel. If necessary, get it wet and use it to snap the zombies on various body parts. It may not take them down but you might be able to dislodge a knee so they can’t lumber along. Heck, aim it right and you might even be able to knock off a zombie head or two.
