Guinness World Record Attempt - Largest Parade of Hearses, Sept. 18, 2010

[Scary Guy]

Yeah I get that, I wasn't blaming the media. Although I shouldn't have expected anything from JHA either.

Stupid article. Mentions nothing of Mortis City (we had members there, as well as TDS). I was told we'd all get credit. Figures it would work like this.

So basically we need to get more members then them and have our own procession.... got it.

Still at least it wasn't the PCS that got this.

Well now I'm glad I was in the hospital, because i'd be even more angry.

I wasn't there but perhaps I can offer some perspective from my own experience with the media. I have heard similar complaints from time to time with people in my group, that is to say people who are upset that they did not get media coverage or mention at a large event.

The news media, despite what people assume, does not have super human X-Men powers where they show up on the scene seeing and knowing all. Basically a story comes across the reporters desk, they MIGHT get an advance interview with an organizer, or they might just show up pretty much blind and go on a spree of interviews with whoever looks the most accommodating or interesting.

As such, what goes to print is most likely going to be whatever they gathered. They don't know the facts, names, organizations involved so if you want a chance to be mentioned in an article you need to have a representative there who is willing to approach the media and mention your involvement, otherwise omission is not really their fault.

You also have to take it for what it's worth, free advertisement. I can't tell you how many times the Denver Hearse Association has been called the "Denver funeral club" "Colorado Hearse Club" or any other number of names we've never gone by. Just be thankful someone was there to cover it and figure that anyone who is truly interested in digging further will find the facts on their own.

By way of example, first year of HearseCon we had media on location and they ended up interview this pud fuck who was LITERALLY the worst example of our club they could find. This moron was a pathological liar and claimed he owned 7 hearses, told one girl he had sex in the back of her hearse before she owned it, claimed he worked for the US military as an emissary to Russia...in other words, we got bad press because the biggest dick knob who showed up decided to hunt down the guy with a clipboard and get his name in the paper. The news guy didn't KNOW, he was just there and looking for interviews, so you gotta make your presence known with the media.

So, is this "World record academy", like a knock off of "Guinness world records"?

Nope. According to the Guinness World Record folks, we will be establishing the record for the first time.

In order to qualify, Guinness must pre-approve the event and issue an official claim number (which they have in this case). After the event, we will be submitting an extensive amount of documentation (logs, photos, video, press clippings) to verify our success.

That rocks! Well hopefully you guys will get it.

Take tons of pics and feel free to come and join our little community here.

Oh no, that sucks.

[Scary Guy]

They were 7 hearses away from setting the record. Next year hopefully.

Why would you think I don't like you? lol you're one of my favorites and I added you as a friend on here as well. Maybe you just don't like me and your projecting mutual feelings from me toward you.

Anyway as a rundown for everyone my nose got infected and the general practicioner told me to go to the E.R. because it was the worst he'd ever seen and while I was there the head ear nose and throat guy said I needed to be admitted urgently because it could move into my brain.

Hell was short two hearses, so I don't feel as horrible as if it was just short one. Next year hopefully!

No no no I do like you as a matter of fact your one of my favorites as well. Wanna get married? Anyway, I wish I was in Hell for this event, that would be so cool to be part of such an awesome thing.

Wish I was there... now... instead of stuck in this hospital.

Hope you guys are having fun and I'm sorry my coach isn't there. I couldn't find anyone that wanted to drive it out there.

Why are you in the hospital? Are you ok? Believe it or not, I care about everyone here, even those that don't like me.

I had no idea that was where "Hell" was located.

I heard Michigan was bad, but I had no idea that was where "Hell" was located.
