The Walking Dead is BACK!

Written by Patti on October 15th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Gracious, I love the zombies! Everything about zombies – their cute gray/green skin, that adorable vacant look in their red eyes, their sing-song voices calling for brains. I just want to cuddle them all.

So…it’s no surprise that I am a dyed in the wool fan of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Season Two starts on Sunday and leave it to the hometown of the Walkers to throw a killer (no pun intended) party for its return. Eric and I have been re-watching Season One all week to get us revved up for this season. Eeek! So excited!

Oh, you love them, too? Then join me at Deisel this Sunday for this awesome party. It is sure to be outstanding!

ABOUT DIESEL FILLING STATION:
Diesel is conveniently located in the heart of Virginia Highlands in close proximity to Poncey Highlands, Inman Park and Midtown. Inspired by the Virginia Highlands filling station that once stood in its place, Diesel is equal parts pub and restaurant and has established itself as a popular and perfect late-night hangout spot. The décor is retro—complete with a vintage gas pump in the parking lot, black and white photographs on the walls, and lighting that looks like it was plucked out of a mechanic’s shop circa 1950. The patio is covered and spacious and features a flat-screen television and ample seating. Diesel boasts an expansive beer selection of over 50 beers—including craft and high gravity. Diesel is also known for its clever cocktail menu with memorable selections from the “Motor Oil” to jalapeno margaritas and affordable menu options for all tastes—including upscale pub grub and reliable comfort food with a twist.
