In Australia it is happening in Brisbane and Launceston - obviously where else.
Or why not go to the source - Austin - oh yes.

You See A Sight That
swim together swim jump (hold)
Almost Stops Your Heart
swim together swim jump

shuffle back hop hop forward
But Terror Takes The Sound
turn look stare stare
Before You Make It You Start
down ha down ha down ha down ha
To Freeze As Horror Looks You Right Between The
down clap slide slide slide stomp and shoulders look left
So do you think we can all come together on this, you know unite the world, burn up all our petty ethnic and social divisions on the dancefloors of the world, it isn't going to be embarrassing in the least, really.
Update
I just read that Greil Marcus (author of Lipstick Traces, one of my favourite books) is leading off proceedings in New York , and in London it will be Billy Bragg.
Why it's not happening in Canberra I just don't know.

Kris your apparent sincerity actually terrifies me, but nevertheless if you bring the zombie make up I'll bring the dancing shoes.
