Thrill the World from Austin, TX

Last Saturday, a group of Austinites sought to come together in pop-culture solidarity to beat the world record for most people doing the Michael Jackson Halloween hit "Thriller" in one area. Although many of the participants were barely old enough to walk when the song first came out in 1983, hundreds of people participated in both this year's event and last year's.
