Guinness Book of World Records

My dad sent me an email after having had a look at my blog two nights ago, and said "You are having way too much fun!"

I don't see any reason to stop though...the latest thing today is that I've just signed up to be a part of the World Record Pub Crawl in London on 14 October. Well, it's a world record attempt, at any rate, with official approval from the Guinness Book of World Records team for the attempt. 1,500 people, split into groups of 100 (friends will be kept together), will start drinking at 11:00 am in 15 different pubs around London. Every 45 minutes we'll rotate to the next pub until, after 8 hours, we've done 10 pubs-we are supposed to drink at least a half pint at each pub, and the pub manager is supposed to accurately log everything that's been drunk (anyone else a bit leery that accurate records will be kept?). Apparently, this satisfies the requirements of the Guinness Book of World Records. Click here to see the web site.

A bunch of us have signed up to go, and we'll all get t-shirts, a souvenir card to be stamped at each pub, and maybe some free drinks (the guy organizing this whole thing is working on securing sponsorship from 2 major alcohol distributors). Let the fun continue!!!
