It was a day of pop culture excitement. I had my official witnesses and the MC joked that he was once a witness. In fact, at one point 74% of Americans could identify him vs only 25% that could identify Vice President Al Gore. The MC was Kato Kaelin.
The record attempt was for most socks removed blindfolded in one minute. The record of 24 was held by Ryucheru of Japan Teen personality fame was broken when I got 39 socks in 1 minute. It appeared I got 40 socks but the last one came off a fraction of a second after the minute expired.
I had 30 volunteers at the Wizarding World Comic Con lined up on 30 chairs with 60 brand new socks. I was hoping to make it through all 60 but there were a few feet that weren’t quite as dry as necessary for the socks to slide off as easily as they did in practice. It was a lot of fun anyway.
We also got our picture taken with the Star Trek The Next Generation Crew of Data, Deanna Troy, and Tasha Yar and I had a short conversation with John de Lancie (Q from Next Generation) about STEM education.
Thanks to everyone who came out!
