Dragon*Con Thriller Dance - World Record Attempt

[castalia]

Still waiting for the official video to be posted (possibly at this website, but so far there's a great one up here of the full dance that really pans the room a lot and shows the variety of costumes. delle, you're in there quite a lot! You guys look like you're having so much fun.

There's also one of the practice up on YouTube, which showcases a guy in an Alien costume totally kicking ass at the dance. A few glimpses of delle in there, too.

If I had any rhythm at all, I would've done this, but I know I would've fallen down a lot. Good job, all you dance-inclined fans!

If you didn't know, there's actually a Guinness World Record for number of people in one venue dancing to the full radio (or is it album? I forget) version of "Thriller" using a certain choreography of moves from the Thriller video. Current record is the College of William and Mary with 242 people. If the D*C attempt is accepted, it'll blow them out of the water with 903. Awesome!

::blush:: yeah, I'm in there a lot. I also think it's really funny that you can hear me during the rehearsal one - at one point I yell out "back to the beginning" for my group of n00bs.

it truly was an AMAZING experience.

The huge MJ glove cracked me up. But not as much as the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I LOVE all the costumes in there and the dedication it takes to try to pull that off in Storm Trooper gear. Wow.

If they do this next year I'm SO totally going to do it!
