URDB Presents: World Record Appreciation Society #8
urdb:
Though recent appearances on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and at the Pitchfork Fest in Chicago have been fun, we are bonkers with excitement about this upcoming event. It’ll be our first-ever themed night of world records. And the theme? Fooooooood!
“Food records” doesn’t necessarily mean shoving hot dogs down your throat. Past records we’ve documented include Tallest Carrot Cake, Most Names Written On A Dry Piece Of Spaghetti and Fastest Time To Open A Can Of Alphabet Soup And Spell ‘PANTYHOSE’. Be creative. To join the bill and set a food-related record (or beat one from our site), email dan@URDB.org.
CURRENT LINEUP:
* Longest Cupcake Kebab - Nichelle Stephens and Rachel Kramer Bussel of Cupcakes Take The Cake and Nora Vetter of Nibbles by Nora
* Most Times Changing Order While Ordering Chinese Food Without Getting Hung Up On - Matt Vescovo
* Most Crustless PB&J Sandwiches Made By 10 People In 1 Minute - Hilary Hodge & Friends
We’ll announce a ton more records shortly, and also fill you in on details of an extremely awesome food-related opening act. Our house band Blast Off!!! will be back, rocking Crash Mansion the entire night.
Cost of event is $5, free if you’re unemployed. Advance tickets highly recommended.
* Named Best Oddball Night by New York Magazine
* Featured by CNN, BBC, CBS Sunday Morning, The New Yorker, The Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal, ABC News with Charles Gibson, Inside Edition, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon
