Photo Gallery: Video Game Character Dressup at Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Park

Folks streamed into Coventry P.E.A.C.E Park on Friday dressed in interesting apparel. Some wore red T-shirts with bright dots that suggested eyes. A couple wore menacing black. And several girls came wearing black shorts and boots that were obviously inspired by Lara Croft.

As each one signed in, Keith Curry kept tally.

His goal was to set a Guinness Book World Record for the largest assemblage of people dressed up as video game characters. He needed at least 375, but he fell short. He got a little more than 100.

Still, Curry  wasn't too disappointed, even though he'd put six months into organizing the gathering. He was overhead telling a friend that more people  had come than he'd expected.  And everyone had come up with a costume — even his mother.
