Well, Portland’s Voodoo Doughnuts already broke the record for largest box of doughnuts earlier this month, so why shouldn’t CGWC go for a massage record as well? I don’t think the Common Ground Wellness Center will have nearly as easy a time as Voodoo did with their record if the picture below from England is any indication. Either way, free event with good music, food, and potentially–a world record.
