Another group of Trek fans may have beaten the world record for the "most people dressed as characters from the television series and movies". As you may or may not have heard, this record attempt seems to be the thing to do at conventions this year. The original record was set back in February in London on the world famous Millennium bridge where 99 Trek Fans gathered. With attempts in Tampa back in May, the "enterprising" (sorry) fans of Iowa could have actually beaten the record.

“You’ve heard the phrase ‘you don’t have to be crazy to do this job but it helps.’ Well, you don’t necessarily have to be crazy to be a Star Trek fan, but it doesn’t hurt that either.” said Fred Monfeli, the event organizer.

Even with no Guinness rep on hand, the group was able to get 153 fully costumed Trek fans on to a tennis court and throughly documented the event. “We got photos, video, it is all documented,” said Monfeli.

Good luck to the group, we hope Guinness accepts the attempt. It will be interesting to see what happens in Vegas and if anyone is willing to stand fully costumed in the hot Nevada sun... in August.
