Pies! Pies! More pies!!!

Here's an example of the blogoverse beating the local media to the punch!  Because, well, Amanda's gotta rest sometime.

Did you know that Center Ring Circus School in Columbia attempted to set a Guinness World Record on Sunday for the world's largest pie fight?  If you did, well, not enough people knew, because they fell about 300 people short of the number they needed to have the world's largest pie fight, which apparently was about a thousand?  And my sources are never (well, very rarely) wrong!

This is the most awesome thing to go on in Howard County that I never knew about.  If I had known about this pie fight, I'd have attended, I'd have gotten my friends to attend, and I'd have sold this bad bay strong over social media!  I get that they used Crowdrise for Internet sign-ups but people often no-show to things they sign up for online, especially free events.

So look, circus people.  I hear you're going to try to break this world record again.  And IMHO this world record is just madcap enough for Howard County to be the place where we Choose Civility, yet also stand as the Pie Fight Capital of the globe!  Therefore-- please reach out.  Let me know your plans and let's spread the word far and wide, to all of our little friends, so that we don't simply break this record, we set the bar so high that no one dare touch it.

OK Howard County, let's help these folks out.  Let's answer the call when they send it forth.  Tell your friends and neighbors, and especially enemies, and prepare to get medieval on all of 'em with some steamy hot pie action!

Let's be careful out there.

Bill, I'd love your support in getting more activity, events, views and bloglove on TotallyHoCo.com, a new online events calendar. If more folks are posting events on -- and looking for things to do on -- the calendar, the better ... imo.

As awesome as Totally HoCo is, I believe the road to 5000 people at this event is much broader coverage through a multimodal media attack! This blog and Totally HoCo are but two small channels for this.

Since we're talking pie, wouldn't it be cool to somehow get Adam Jones to show up? Imagine the "Pied Piper of Baltimore" showing up to throw a few. Agree with Bill on this - gotta think BIG.
