Welcome!

Are you a fan of Michael Jackson? Or perhaps just a fan of fun? Ever wanted to be a Guinness World Record™ holder? For something you did while wearing a silly costume? While helping a charity?
At Dragon*Con!?!?

Well, well, well, my friend. You've just stumbled upon something pretty epic and
We want you to be a huge part of it!

On Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 7:00 P.M. in the Grand ABC Ballroom (3rd floor) at the Sheraton, Dragon*Con attempted to beat the Guinness World Record™ for the amount of people simultaneously dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in a single location! Believe it or not, we had 903 dancers join us in what will soon become (hopefully/possibly) an annual event at Dragon*Con! (Fingers crossed!)

    On September 11, 09, the first official video of the record attempt was uploaded for all to see. In one week, we got over 7,500 views! HOWEVER, there were errors with that version including some segments at the wrong pace as well as jerky framerates due to the sorry piece of crap computer I own. I have since found a better machine to render with. So, go look at the results! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA8RZCL5jTE

    Unfortunately, we were not awarded the Guinness World Record
™. "WHY NOT?! you say? For ALL of the details concerning the world record and Mexico, please go HERE

    Don't go away sad! Atleast you made some incredible memories... which you can see video and photos of HERE. Special thanks to our photographers and videographers: Kevin Bingham, Brenda Smith, Michael Hottenstein, Jerry "JJ" Self, Jeffrey Rosado, Martin A. Lessem, J.D., and others! 

    Don't forget to frequent the FORUMS. Just because the con is over doesn't meant that our party has to stop! Frankly, we're busier now, so join us!
