Last year we had a botched attempt at breaking the world record for largest soul train. This year is going to be different because we want other art cars to link up sound systems to make the train HUGE! The plan is to have the Soul train at 5:00 pm on Wednesday at the Man. We will be hosting a bar b...

All of the pieces are in place to have a blast on thursday afternoon! We have one, hopefully two art cars joining us. We start at six oclock ave at five pm on thursday and we will go along esplanade. This is going to be awesome! http://playaevents.burningman.com/2013/ ... vent/9735/

I have read and printed off all of the requirements for breaking a GWR. We will put our photo/videographer on the soul train that will be at the front of the party. We have to submit the film within a time frame and it has to be clear shots.

Risky, Great news! A double decker bus sounds awesome! I just had visions of art cars and people in a giant soul train! We will have our own press there. I didn't want to pay for somebody from GWR to come to Burning man. I have submitted the event and the photographer request to BM. I also have the ...

Risky!! How do I contact the other people interested in doing a soul train night? It would be awesome to coordinate and I can't find them. Will you please post a link?

I hadn't thought about breaking a world record as a commercial hoopla, more just fun! and goal to break. We saw the worlds largest clock and the worlds largest instrument, why not the worlds longest soul train? I tell you what Elliot, I promise not to use the GWR logo. Other than that, who doesn't w...

I'm not sure about the guarding consent forms, i.d.'s or numbers at burning man. hopefully they let us do without those things, and if not. It will still be fun

here are the terms and conditions GWR has set for attempting a world record. Just so we are all on the same page. " ** The exact title of the record is subject to change and GWR may offer you a valid alternative record if your suggestion is not acceptable. Until you read and accept all sections of t...

I just registered with Guinness Book of World Records. They will give us the go ahead to attempt to break the record. The next step is to get media approval from Burning Man Org. After that, DANCING!!

That looks like tons of fun and is definitely going on my list of things to do!

He's in! I'll make a media and event submission and get things together, this is probably best for a thursday afternoon. I can see it now! The soul train leading the way and hundreds of people funked out and jiving! Woo!

Thank you! I just messaged him. It definitely looks like it's his art car. Blessings, Mason by Bounce530 » Tue Feb 26, 2013 3:42 pm I believe the owner of the soul train goes by the name "Christopher Justonename" on FB.

Tom Servo, Thank you for the link. I sent them a Facebook message and emailed the main guy at C.O.R.A. Hopefully the soul train is still in operation.

Inferno, a soul train is a whole bunch of people dressed in 70's style dancing to funk in a line. Mostly a lot of fun.

Now that is what we need to lead this train!!!

Thanks for the post, I'll try to be in contact with them!

Great Advice! Thank you! I agree, "Playa Time" might be the hardest thing about this event. We have a person lined up to shoot video, getting them up high enough might be hard... We will definitely have fun. It's all coming together!!

Hey all of you amazing people! The current world record for longest soul train is held by only 291 people and is held by Philadelphia. We can certainly break that record at Burning Man. Our camp has a sound system. How should this happen? Should we go down the 6 o'clock ave? What day would be best? ...
