While everyone in the Los Angeles area vacated the city in favor of Cochella, I wandered the silent streets of Echo Park alone. Okay, it wasn’t that silent, and I wasn’t that alone, it was record store day yesterday and the shop in my neighborhood was well crowded having its own little Cochella… anyway, while I wandered in my neighborhood I found myself at Stories Books (and cafe) on Sunset Blvd.

While in the back getting my quaint little Chai Latte I made a fantastic discovery on their counter. An impulse item waiting to be sprung on me… ZOMBIE FINGER PUPPETS!

Quickly I dug through the box, looking for how many variations I could find. 1… 2… 3 different zombies to wear on my fingertips and attack all my other living toys with! Yes!

Needless to say 3 dollars later, and I was walking out the door, zombies on three of five fingers.

Speaking of awesome items I came across this on EBAY a few months ago, and continue to drool over it’s awesomeness! Yes… Boris Karloff had his own board-game! I don’t know much about it, other than its amazing and I must one day play it.

Maybe the world needs a Motor City board-game… build your hotrod, fight some monsters, and look good the whole way to victory!
