Can anyone volunteer their time for a few hours?

Friends: I need help:

My friend Lou Mars, who is an unbelievably talented drummer and performer, is attempting to break the Guinness World Record for Marathon Drumming starting next month on January 14, 2010, by drumming continuously for more than 120 hours, (he gets a 5 minute break per hour). Besides besting the record, the goal of this event is to raise money, secure donations of musical equipment for use in public schools, and to raise awareness for the need to bring music classes back to the public classroom. Due to Lou's deep connections in the music industry, we have a number of instrument manufacturers and retailers donating and matching contributions. We have a number of national and international media, including VH1, poised to carry portions of the attempt live.

Everything is coming together nicely, but what we need are volunteers here in the Chico area to serve as witnesses and timekeepers. These volunteers will work in shifts of no more than 4 hours in length, to document the world record event under the Guinness rules. So if you can spare a few hours of your time to serve as a witness or timekeeper anytime between January 14 through January 20th, please email or send me a message so I can get you on the list.

Thanks a bunch, Dave, (please see link below for more info).
