We’ve hinted at the fact that we were doing something outstanding at Pitchfork, but we weren’t sure if you were ready for it. Now that we’ve changed months & summer weather is finally here, we think it’s time to you let you in on the grandness we’ve been scheming over here.

Saucony Originals has teamed up with Universal Record Database to break records all weekend at Pitchfork. It’s going to be out of control! It’s gonna break your mind!

Choose from a list of 30 records that will give you a chance to win Saucony Originals or create an entirely new one with help from a heaping prop pile. There are also group records to be set! Check back for the scheduled time we’re asking everyone to the space to break the record- Largest Group of People Singing Chicago in the Park. (Don’t worry, we’ll have lyric sheets!)

We’re also going to have some performing bands stop by to try their hand at record breaking. If you’re not into holding world records you should still come by to watch the shenanigans!

If someone wins, then someone must lose. Team KEXP once again has graciously filled that position.

First round saw us “borrow” a few fine folks from Seattle Weekly to compete against Bummershoot, oh, I mean, Bumbershoot. Cyrus’ scary side once again reared itself after a couple of questionable calls, all in Bumbershoot’s favor. I suspect he may have been right on a couple of them, too bad we don’t have instant replay. ((Really guys, how much did they pay ya?))

Round two was Seattle Weekly. We tried our best, really we did, but sometimes your best isn’t good enough.

It was a fun start. We are looking foward to Whiffle Ball and the additional team members that we’ve recruited. I won’t say ringers, but we may just win next time around.

Universal Record Database- the guys we’re teaming up with at Pitchfork- were on Jimmy Fallon this past Friday. It was hysterical!
They helped Cameron Diaz set a pretty amazing record- Most Bunnies Snuggled While in a Hammock. Although I assume we’ll never know what happened to the two bunnies that would’ve made it 50 as opposed to the recorded 48, we love the creativity of this record.

 Check out the show on Hulu here.

We’re taking a couple points away from Fallon whose weak attempt at Most Mustaches Drawn on Strangers in Thirty Seconds can be easily crushed. We invite everyone to come to our area at Pitchfork where URDB will be set up to help you break records all weekend long. We know you can draw more than 14 mustaches in 30 seconds, so come out & show Fallon what’s up!!

Also, stick around to the end of the show to watch Grizzly Bear perform Cheerleader- awesome.

After a wacky round of Steal the Bacon, with the bacon being not bacon but Patty’s running shoe, Seattle’s teams reconvene on Wednesday July 8th to play some wiffle ball! Seattle Weekly came out ahead in the bacon stealing, but let’s see how good they are with flimsy yellow bats.
