What is Thrill The World 2009?
An annual worldwide simultaneous dance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to raise money for charity and break the current world record for “Largest Simultaneous Thriller Dance”

Where and When?
Sunday, 25 October, 2009. Nero's Nightclub, St Kiran Street, Kilkenny (Just look for the zombies!). There is an initial dance rehearsal to learn the steps on Saturday 17th October, in Nero's at 2.30pm and there will also be a full rehearsal again in Nero's on the 24th October at 2.30pm. The event starts at 1.30am SHARP (The rest of the world will not wait for you if you are late!) We will meet one hour before the countdown on the night, to sort out costumes and make up and calm any pre-performance jitters!!

Why so late?
The time has been chosen to be 1.30am GMT/UTC on 25 October, 2009. This means that it will be on simultaneously at different times around the world.

What do I need to do?
Send an email to ttw09kilkenny@gmail.com, or phone Sheila on 085-1403397to let us know you are interested in participating. Registration forms will be available at both rehearsals.

Get your zombie costume and make up ready. This is not mandatory; purely for fun!
Come down on the day and try to be early – the event only lasts 6 minutes so don’t miss it!

What does it cost?
Nothing – this is a free event run by volunteers. However, you are encouraged to undertake fundraising or make a donation towards our official charity, The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. We will be collecting money on the night and sponsorship cards will also be available prior to the event.

Can I still participate if I don’t want to dance?
Yes, we need plenty of volunteers, such as to film and take plenty of photos, be a Guiness World Record witness etc etc. No offer of help will be turned down.

How many people are you expecting?
We have no idea. This is just a group of friends who love MJ’s Thriller and want to be part of this world record attempt. The organizer is hoping to get 270,000 people from around the world this year.

THIS IS A FREE AND VOLUNTARY EVENT OPEN TO ALL SO PASS IT ON!
