Hi all. If you'll be in New York on Wednesday, May 20, please join us for what will be our biggest world record event yet. The lineup is looking bonkers. Massively fun times await.
Pianos was getting a bit squishy, so we've moved to Crash Mansion a few blocks away. We'll have a ton more seating, a higher stage, a bar menu, video monitors...even a green room where record setters can hang out to escape paparazzi.
Confirmed Record Attempters So Far:
* Alexandra Young - Longest Scarf Knit In Two Hours
* Debbie Hampton - Most Knock Knock Jokes Told In One Minute
* Cynthia Kueppers and Dave Bredesen - Tallest Carrot Cake
* Molly Rosen - Fastest Recitation Of The First Paragraph Of 'Lolita' While Doing A Backbend
* Matt Kenefick - Most Pickup Lines Delivered In One Minute
* Opus Moreschi (Colbert Report writer) - Sham-Wow Record TBD
* Jake Bronstein and Kristina Hoge - Longest Whisper Chain
* Larry Smith - Most Six-Word Quotes Read In One Minute
* Emily Wilson - Most Consecutive People Beaten In Arm Wrestling By A Woman In Her Third Trimester Of Pregnancy
The extremely funny Craig Baldo (Conan O'Brien, Last Comic Standing, Premium Blend) will open the night, and McSweeney's contributor Colin Nissan will be reading some of his hilarious shorts.
BONUS NEWS: We just booked the mucho-radical Blast Off!!! as our house band for the night. Super stoked to have them onboard.
