Participated in a world record attempt this afternoon...

The city of Hamilton decided this year that they wanted to attempt to break the world record for largest guitar ensemble at this years Festival of Friends. I couldnt not go, and I'm certainly glad I did. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. We do not yet know if the record has been broken. Heres some pictures and a video....

Line-up at the sign-in tent, you had to register online, then when you got there too...


Current record is 1802




Waiting...


Crowd kept growing




Whos that Rockstar with the '75 Gibson Flying V?

Coolness.

I was in on the World's Longest Fire Brigade Chain back in 1997- me and about 6000 of my closest friends.
