an orchestra of coconuts

Monday was St. George's Day.

To celebrate, the cast of Spamalot gathered a crowd in Trafalgar Square to set the Guinness World Record for the largest coconut orchestra.

These guys were pretty organized. Check out the plan for the evening here.

They managed to set the record with over 5,000 people gathering together to bang two halves of a coconut together to the tune of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".

The bbc was kind enough to snap some photos for me, since I couldn't make it out for the festivities.

It would have been fun to watch (read: quote) The Holy Grail along with 5,000 of my closest friends in London, but I don't really like to stand during films.
