I couldn't leave without taking a picture with the elf hat! Just my luck, the guy I happen to ask for his ears with turns out to be the main host of the event, BJ Lange! He was also Capt'n Morgan in another life, haha. Nice guy, I like him as an elf.
Oh and yes - they did break the world record with 607 elves! @Bryant ParkNYC: "Record achieved! Guiness Book of World Records confirmed. 607 elves at The Pond today for @ABCFamily 's #ElfParty. http://ow.ly/i/aO7" - congrats: )
