I found this in the Creative Gigs section on Craigslist. If I’m not doing anything that night, I think I might join up in this just to say I took part. Keep in mind that the group behind this is trying to make a profit by selling their dance videos, but I still think it could be hilarious. LARP’ing meets Hip Hop:

“On October 27, 2007, (Oct. 28 in some parts of the world) zombies will get together in over 100 cities on six continents to dance “Thriller” at exactly the same time in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Simultaneous Dance! We would like to invite you to join us! Last October 29, 2006, Thrill Toronto saw 62 people learning the Thriller dance in 2 hours, rehearsing for 2 hours then performing the dance to set the first Guinness World Record for Largest Thriller Dance. We need over 200,000 people to dance “Thriller” to win the Guinness Record. We currently have people in over 121 cities, in 18 countries who will Thrill The World. The dance is easy to learn with our Thriller Teaching Videos 2.1 available on YouTube.com and on DVD. Go to www.thrilltheworld.com for weblinks and info about the DVD. To date, the oldest participant who learned the dance in 2 hours is a 53-year-old man who had never danced before! And a 5-year-old is rehearsing for the big event, too! Anyone can Learn The Dance! Even if you have two left feet!”
