A group of people are trying to break the Guiness record for the largest picnic this Sunday, August 3, from noon to 2 in Bryant Park. The current record, according to the group, is 1,059 people, which I would think gets broken every Monday night when they show those films in the park (shows how adept I am at estimating the size of crowds). I think I read somewhere that you have to bring two food items for lunch, plus a drink, to qualify as a picnicker, and you have to register when you arrive at one of the booths. There'll be live music, too, and City Harvest will also be there collecting donations. Here are some links:

Given my affinity for picnics, I can imagine no better way for me to have my little moment in the history books (using a very loose definition of "history"). Now I just have to figure out what to bring food-wise.
