Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
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 this Agreement, GWR in no way encourages,
authorises or permits any Record Attempt to be carried out and we will have absolutely
no connection with or authorise any Record Attempt carried out before such acknowledgement.
Terms And Conditions
These terms and conditions shall apply to your Record Attempt. You agree that in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants given in this Agreement (the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), that all preparations for, undertaking of and consequences of, your Record Attempt shall be governed by the following provisions.
1. Authority
a. A Record Attempt shall only be deemed “authorised” by GWR when you have received from GWR:
i. A claim number in relation to the Record Attempt (“Claim ID Number”); and
ii. Email confirmation via the on-line claims process that the proposed Record Attempt set out by you has been agreed and accepted; and
iii. Email definition of the Record Attempt that you will attempt to break (“Guidelines”).
b. If you or any of the people undertaking the Record Attempt are under 18 years of age or considered a minor in the jurisdiction of the
Record Attempt, you must have your parent or guardian read these terms and conditions and agree on your behalf that your Record Attempt
is subject to these terms and conditions. If you are considered a minor in your jurisdiction at the time you read and accept this document
and your parent or legal guardian has not read and accepted this document or the relevant jurisdiction does not recognise the validity of documents signed by parents or legal guardians on behalf of minors, your Record Attempt will not be valid or recognized by GWR.
c. If you are a company, organisation or group of people (“Group”), this Agreement must be read, agreed and accepted by a person who
has been nominated by the Group as the representative and with the authority to enter into this Agreement on their behalf and only one
person per Group may be nominated.
d. If you are engaged, employed or contracted to organize a Record Attempt on behalf of an individual, company, organisation or group
of people, you must have each persons’ consent (by way of your own separate agreement) to enter into, and accept this Agreement.
2. Safety in Record Attempts
a. You acknowledge that the Record Attempt, (even when conducted in accordance with the Guidelines and any safety advice as
may be received by you from time to time) may be dangerous to you and others and you acknowledge and agree that you will be
entirely responsible, at all stages of the Record Attempt for:
i. Deciding whether or not to proceed with;
ii. All safety aspects in relation to the preparation for and/or the undertaking of; and
iii. Any and all injury to yourself or others which is caused by; the Record Attempt.
b. You have, at your sole expense, taken all appropriate professional safety advice in relation to all aspects of risk and
safety connected with the Record Attempt including but not limited to:
i. Identifying any possible risks to yourself, other participants and any spectators; and
ii. Identifying and obtaining medical and other resources that shall be readily accessible at the location of the Record Attempt;
iii. Taking all necessary precautions and measures either identified in such advice or in accordance with health and safety

YOU ALSO AGREE TO INDEMNIFY GWR AGAINST CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES FOR INJURIES ARISING OUT OF YOUR RECORD ATTEMPT.

in no way intended to provide any kind of safety advice or to be construed as providing any comfort to you that the Record
Attempt is free from risk.
3. Adjudication and Authentication
a. You may request that a GWR adjudicator attend your Record Attempt. GWR will be under no obligation to agree to such a
request but if so, GWR may require that you pay a fee and expenses, which may include at GWR’s sole determination, airfare,
accommodation and daily attendance fee for the adjudicator. If GWR agrees to provide an adjudicator for your Record Attempt,
it is agreed that the parties shall enter into a separate agreement for such services.
b. GWR shall provide you with Guidelines in relation to your Record Attempt. You understand that the Guidelines send to you
will be appropriate for achieving a record recognized by GWR as at the date when the Guidelines are sent out to you and that
these Guidelines are not intended to replace common sense or professional advice regarding issues related to safety in
connection with the Record Attempt. You acknowledge that Guidelines may be updated or amended at any time and without
further notice to you. It is your responsibility to contact GWR before making the Record Attempt if any aspect of the
Guidelines is unclear. You can contact our records management team by posting an enquiry from the member’s area of the
website (www.guinnessworldrecords.com).

of the Guidelines or the success of a Record, GWR’s decision shall be final and no further correspondence will be entered into. You agree and acknowledge that GWR shall have no liability for any loss suffered by you or the Group as a result of GWR deciding that you have or have not been successful in any Record Attempt.

database. The current record may change at any time due to a new record being approved. It is also acknowledged that any
Guinness World Records® category or Record may be reviewed and rested or disqualified at any point in GWR’s sole discretion

you of any change to the current record.

have written agreement to do so.

material you sent in within one month. It is your responsibility to make sure we receive a full claim.

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
It's part of the terms you mentioned... If anyone lies about their age (which we all know they do on playa) your attempt won't be valid... Although I know it will still be a fun time! Kinda like the alien shaped satellite photo they attempted a couple years ago.

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
A Guinness Record seems a bit close to the Default World to me. Don't we go to Burning Man to get away from all that commercial hoopla?
My thinking would be to just dance and have fun, and not worry about getting a bunch of burners to march in step. Then we declare ourselves the soul train champions of the Galaxy, and never mind Guinness World Records, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, and the rest of the hocus-pocus promoted by the third richest man in Canada.
Not that there is anything wrong with Canada, or being rich, or Jim Pattison himself, but this is Burning Man, for crying out loud.

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
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 want to participate in one of the worlds largest expressive dance activities? The record is only 291 people. We can surely break that. come join us! I promise you'll have fun
Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
I'm certainly considering it.

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
I do that once in a while, but not this time. Of course, this is a rather low priority -- not something that would "ruin BM forever"! Just kind'a "a thought".TomServo wrote:...or are you just playing Devil's advocate?
Yeah, Mason, I will try to make it to this dance. It certainly has great potential. How many people participated in the "light sabre battle" a few years ago? The Billion Bunny March every year?

I'm hoping for the world's longest Bunny Hop line.

Oo, Bunny Minuet.
I would also be down for a Bunny Waltz or a Bunny Polka.

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
Go for it Mason!!!!
Shit, plenty of GWR have been broken or attempted at Burning Man.
For Metropolis, wasn't there an atempt at breaking the record for most people in super man costumes? If memory serves correctly, the record wasn't broken. But, not because there weren't enough people, it was more of a details issue. I believe it was issues with keeping people all there are one time, documenting the number of people, and the requirements for what would count as a "Super Man" costume.
If you're going to go for the record, You're going to need to find a way to document it. Maybe, ask DPW or an art installation if you can take a picture from a cherry picker or something.

Only if you do the real version, not the Anglo-remake of the actual dance... No offense to anyone that prefers the 'new' version....

Here's how it's actually done . . . I think.

But I admit I love any "Harlem Shake" video involving a collegiate swim team.

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
Jim Bowers of One Mile Clock 2011 is still waiting on GWR to completely fulfill his application.
It's a long process. He has put forth much effort beyond BM to get this done.
I suggest contacting him so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. He is friendly and easy to work with.
The Damntrak art car is doing a Soul Train theme night.
Memory Motel (power trio band from Reno) will be playing live on the top of the two story car.
Not sure what night yet.
Would be fun to coordinate!

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
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?

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
Hey, Mason,
We have a meeting Sunday so I will see if I can get something planned.
Camp EZRA has a large double decker bus and want to be involved as well.
Stay tuned!
EDITED TO ADD:
If you intend to have GWR present, you may wish to set the day yourself. Do you have a day in mind?

Re: Let's break the world record for longest soul train!
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 date set with GWR on the thursday of BM. This is going to be awesome! Everybody bring your funky pants!!!
