The facts, as I understand them:

• City of Nottingham.
• Decides to break the world record for people dressed as zombies in one place. And yes, they do the thriller dance, too.
• The date of the record-breaking is October 31, 2008.
• Jonathan Coulton happens to be doing a UK tour at the time.
• Jonathan Coulton thus gets to perform Re: Your Brains at said event.
• As if that weren't enough, he gets to meet the Sheriff.

I love this world sometimes.

PS: Did any of our UK alumni get out to see Coulton on this tour?
