#231 Festival Theme: Set a spooning record

Summer is almost over and some think that the festival season is too. But that’s not true. Here you will find tips of other, different festivals to visit in autumn. Right now three of the big ones are taking place, Way Out West in Gothenburg, Göteborg Culture Festival and the Malmö Festival. We at the 365 office thought we’d share some of our summer experiences and give you a more fun and creative festival experience. Here are seven things you can do at a festival.

365 things you can do visited Hultsfred festival last year to inspire and enable visitors. We wove in the fence, did physical exercises with festival visitors, organized Flash Mobs and more.

But something we weren’t prepared for was to attend a world record attempt in spooning. An activity that we were all familiar with but perhaps not on such a large scale. It all started with a guy yelling in a megaphone at the festival visitors to lie down on the asphalt and form a large spoon chain. After just a few minutes there were over two hundred people. We in the 365-gang decided to help. People from different cities, with different tastes in fashion and music were held each other and waited. Some smiled, others started to talk to each other and a guy in a priest uniform and hookah tried flirting with one of the 365 male participants in our team.

There wasn’t a world record in spooning that day. But it’s not impossible that it may have inspired more attempts worldwide.

1. Gather your friends and ask them to gather their friends and other people they know.

2. Try to get everyone to lie down in a long spoon drag.

3. Stay down.

You can join in and beat a world record. It's nice to be a spoon.
