Immediately following the breaking of the world record, the local paper in Wimberley, Texas printed an article. Smiley

Enjoy!

edit: I did have it included as an image but it's so huge, it's easier to open a new window. Smiley Which you could email to all your friends and say "Hey! I witnessed this! and I requested 'Journey' over and over" which I did not. Cheesy

That was a good article!

I think the actual name of the record breaking song was "My Humps" by The Blackeyed Peas.

I told the paper in Conroe/Willis (where PK went to school) about the record. I don't know if they
have talked to him yet.

They mentioned Finland, I'm practically famous! And yes, the song was called My Humps.

It's OK. People know what the song is anyway, or if they don't then it could just be any song.
We'll make sure it is correct in the Guinness Book  Cheesy

That was a great idea to contact the Conroe newspaper.    Grin

I sent a link to that along with a brief email to my local news station morning anchor (who, incidentally, has agreed to have me on the show when I get back to the states).  It usually takes a few days to hear back from them, so I will let you all know.

Yes, it was a great article.  What's the distribution on it, anyone know?

Aug 1 was a momentous date for Isara.  We will be sending the documentation off very soon to Guinness for their review and approval, and the news coverage is an added bonus for us.  I think the local news people want to do a follow up interview with PK and we are still getting contacted by papers in the states.  Only time will tell how many decide to run stories, post-event.  The more the merrier, though!

Also, we'll be posting some photos from the event in this thread as soon as they are avail.   Grin
