A thousand coconuts-a-clacking
Published May 1st, 2007 in update.Well on a whim I went to Trafalgar Square last Monday on a superb tip-off from Veena and what did I see?
The Monty Pyth0n Guiness World record attempt for the largest ever coconut orchestra! ( Link & Link ) With the whole cast of Spamalot leading the charge, just before the final practice both the Terries showed up, Gilliam and Jones looking, sadly, a little older. Though I didn’t have my camera on me I was spared the embarrassment of missing the photo opportunity with the thousands of other people all brandishing cameras such as this fellow whose flickr link shows all the action.
So awesome.
It all went to plan with all 4830ish people who’d been issued their coconuts clacking away in pretty good time to Always look on the bright side of life despite the cast of Spamalot screwing it up on the ‘Always look on the bright side of death’ while leading the crowd who thankfully knew it better than they did seemingly!
Just one of the many things that I can just walk to from work… yep - it still weirds me out too.
Hold me?
And for the sharp-eyed among you the reason I have to write Pyth0n with a zero instead of an o is that for some completely unknown reason you cannot post Monty and Pyth0n next to each other in WordPress. Go figure?
that is so cool!
and the wordpress pyth0n thing is weird.
