It included all the Chicago communities (e.g. Viking Youth, Syncrhoni-city, Entheon Village, Sew-Op.net, Pyrotechniq, SPUNN, Environmental Encroachment, Chiditarod, etc.) 

Parade organizers, along with the City, gave permission for fire, so the parade included 5 flamethrowers, 15 spinners and about 50 Zombies.  A local TV station invited burners on for a 3 minute Zombie fashion show (designed by Kokopaulli and Justine Light).  The Vikings brought their painted veggie-oil bus.  The Playground Theater become Zombie Central and everyone agreed that all future parades will have to boast fire.  About 12 to 15 thousand people attended.
