When I was in elementary school, I remember loving to read the Guinness Book of World Records. Loved it. I know, I know – yet another admission that confirms my Total Nerd status.

But it’s true! There is just something so cool about breaking a record – nay, a WORLD record. (Except when it involves hair or nails. That is just gross.)

It’s no surprise, then, that when I heard about what Massage Envy is doing next Saturday (September 17), I was really excited. Massage Envy – along with 500 massage recipients – will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for “Most People Being Massaged” at the same time and place.

Cool, right?

Oh, wait – I haven’t told you the cool part yet. The COOL part is that my local friends and readers can be a part of this record-breaking attempt.

This massage event (is that a term? What do I call this??) will take place on September 17 at Kauffman Stadium between 5 and 6 p.m. If you want to be a part of this and get your own 10-minute massage, you can buy a ticket for $25 – and that includes your massage, a ticket to the following game (Royals vs. White Sox) and a customized yoga mat. (You must pre-register, though, at www.royals.com/massageenvy.)

AND, a portion of the ticket price will benefit the local chapter of The Arthritis Foundation.

Have you ever broken any records? Any WORLD records?
