What did you do today? Oh yeah, I set a world record...

When I woke up this morning, I really didn't think I was going to change to world. Boy was I wrong. Actually I didn't do much at all, but I did help break a Guinness World Record with those from Schwäbisch Hall! Last night after practice, Coach Gehrke told the team that if they had the time, to come and support the team and help break a world record! There was a new shopping mall area going into The Hall today and to make the opening a grand one, the city decided to break a world record in the process! They had the longest ribbon cutting ceremony in the world! The ribbon was 6.5 km long (which is just over 4 miles!) and everyone from the city helped to hold up the ribbon as they cut it near the shopping area! It made for quite a bit of excitement on an otherwise rainy afternoon!

Here is an area of the ribbon near our spot!

 Our area was in front of one of the biggest banks, and one of our sponsors, Sparkasse. We had to wear our jerseys to show our Unicorn pride!



Some crazy lady watching stuff go down

This is the truck that zoomed around the city and filmed the ribbon as it went,
to prove that we did it.

They had a big band and some people dressed in traditional garb.

Actual cutting of the ribbon!

Pictures being taken of the mayor, etc.

Boy my father must be hating my very mediocre photography haha. Oh, and we might have also been on TV. The mayor was getting interviewed after the ceremony and we made numerous attempts at getting ourselves into the cameras view... Picture Bandit!! Shout out to Mickey Inns and Mace's crew moving into their new house and being willed our glorious B pong table! May it serve you well fellas!
