One of my cosplay buddies just told me about an AWESOME event happening in Los Angeles on October 2ed. Will Ferrell and Dreamworks Studios are holding an event to promote their new superhero movie Megamind. They're trying to gather 1,500 superhero cosplayers in one place to beat the Guinness world record for Largest Gathering of Superheroes!

Here's the press release:

=====================================
WHO: Will Ferrell (aka Megamind), DreamWorks Animation and Guinness World Records

WHAT: Join Will Ferrell and 1,500 of his closest costumed superhero friends as they attempt to make heroic history and claim the Guinness World Records title for the Largest Gathering of Superheroes. The Mega-event hosted by DreamWorks Animation is open to all caped crusaders wishing to join the fun.

To qualify for the record attempt, all interested participants must arrive dressed as an easily recognisable superhero that has appeared in a published book, comic, television program or film, as stipulated by the record guidelines. The feat will be judged by official Guinness World Records Adjudicator and Spokesperson, Stuart Claxton and will require a minimum of 1,501 superheroes to break the current world record.

The world record attempt will mark the kickoff of MegaMonth, an official month dedicated to Mega-events across the country in celebration of the release of MEGAMIND on November 5th.

The idea of being in the Guinness Record Book is so exciting (even if I'll only be a little speck in a panoramic picture). I can't wait to suit up with my friends and drive down there. It'll be the geekiest block party EVER!! ^_^
